Now, the Academia StackExchange has reached commitment phase, meaning that the proposal aggregated a consistent number of people who may have an interest in it, and further aggregation of active participant is sought after. You may report your interest in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The community-powered news site Digg played an occasional role on the development of this blog. Some of the findings I posted here started, in some cases, as a spark from a Digg submission, further developed through my personal research. This is the reason why I am writing here about it. News on Digg were frequent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just created a new proposal at Area51: Academia. The aim of such Question/Answers site, when opened, is to provide assistance to academics of any level and discipline, with particular focus towards academic life, grants, papers and posters, conferences, career, management, research group directions, and academic services. You can subscribe to the proposal by following [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am observing with great interest the development at Area51 for new Question/Answers sites to be opened with the StackExchange system. One thing that makes me cringe a bit is the very strong fragmentation. I think this stems either from the need of personal protagonism of each person (nothing bad with it, progress happens also [...]]]></description>

The fundamental requisite for such new sites to be opened is a rather strict community review and development of a critical mass of contributors [...]]]></description>

At the moment, only Patrick Lockerby (the author of the  post linked above) proposes such prize according to the following rules: the potential candidate must either make use of an already debunked argument, a logical fallacy, or (verbatim) &#8220;self-aggrandising puerile prosey [...]]]></description>

The latest comic is pretty interesting The image is self-descriptive, meaning that each graph represents information about the image itself. For example, the first panel contains a [...]]]></description>

For each element, there&#8217;s a video showing the characteristics of the element, and a brief commentary. Worth checking out if you always had some curiosity about the chemical elements, what they look like, and how they behave. They [...]]]></description>
