Ethics

In Which I Invite the Wrath of My SciBlings

By Ed Brayton

Several of my fellow ScienceBloggers have already endorsed GrrlScientist and asked their readers to vote for her to become the official blogger on an Arctic expedition. I hereby risk the wrath of my SciBlings, with no malice toward GrrlScientist whatsoever, because I feel I must endorse my good friend Wesley Elsberry for the job instead. I urge you all to vote for him by clicking here (registration is required, but it's quick and easy).

It's not a particularly comfortable situation to be doing this and going against a colleague. I hope there are no bruised feelings and, if there are, she will forgive me for provoking them. But Wesley and I have been good friends for many years and I truly believe that he is the best person for this job for several compelling reasons.
