Which science blogs do you read?

Thought I’d kick-start this forum with an obvious but potentially useful thread.
We all know about Seed’s ScienceBlogs. And, of course, Nature Network. But what else out there is worth reading?

My blog is on ScienceBlogs (The Scientific Activist), so I’m partial to those, but some of my other favorites are Migrations, NASA Watch, The Panda’s Thumb, and Bad Astronomy.

I write Not Exactly Rocket Science, a year-old blog where I try to make new science stories interesting and engaging to people who don’t necessarily have a scientific background.
I also like Zooillogix for a light-hearted zoological read.

Nice thanks.

I read many of those already listed, but here are some others I read and/or contribute to:
Plus: News from the world of maths – a mathematics based blog for all ages as part of Plus Magazine
Mr Science Show – my own blog which started a few years back, although Plus gets most of my attention these days (seeing it’s my job…)
First Science – a nice bunch of opinions on a range of science topics

Here’s one, Biotecher, on Twitter.

There are a few blogs that haven’t been mentioned yet that I like
Neurologica (by Stephen Novella a Yale neurologist mostly on skepticism and quackery.)
Science Based Medicine (by Novella et al, trying to go a step beyond evidence based medicine to science based medicine.)
Neurodiversity (by Kathleen Seidel, relating to autism, and autism quackery, and how the scientific literature is being manipulated to extort money from vaccine manufacturers (i.e. by Wakefield, Geier, and other autism quacks). She was recently subpoenaed in a vaccine case where her only connection was that she had blogged about how the lawyer pursuing the case has made a business out of vaccine litigation (and is a business partner with one of the only “scientists” finding a connection between autism and mercury).
The Autism Hub (a blog roll by parents, treatment providers and adults of/with autism. Mostly non-technical but a great resource for parents, spouses, friends, treatment providers and adults of/with/on the autism spectrum. Since there are no known medical treatments for ASDs, non-medical interventions would seem to be most appropriate.)
Stranger than you can imagine (my blog, mostly about NO physiology and how basal NO levels affect every physiological pathway that uses NO as a signaling molecule (that happens to be a lot of physiology). It is not for the faint hearted as I also attempt to take on modern myths of physiology, such as homeostasis with a writing style that (no doubt) will bring tears to the eyes of editors.)
