Quick fact: The journal "Science" reported recently that only 2% of scientists regularly blog.

I suppose it's up to me to carry the banner. :P

Another sciencey note: I downloaded a free bibliography program this week called "Mendeley." I've never used this kind of software before, such as the $300 "EndNote" or "Papers" for mac. Nevertheless I was pretty blown away by the fact that this program can automa

tically read science journal papers that I download as PDFs, it can automatically figure out the authors, publishers etc. You can add notes and highlight the papers, organize them in folders, search them etc. But the best magic-like part for me was when I opened up Microsoft word and downloaded the plug-in for that so I could just drag and drop the name of the PDFs from Mendeley to word and it automatically created a perfectly formated Bibliography!!! And what's more is there was a drop down menu where if you selected a different format (APA, MLA or a journal specific format) all the bibliography entrances would auto adjust to the desired format!!!

Okay so this thing really isn't new and I'm sure most everyone has used this kind of thing before, but it was new to me...and having spent many many hours creating bibliographies as an undergraduate, this just blew me away.
