I’m an Economics student from the United States. Pushing for my MBA afterwards and then onto some tough ventures. Interested in Sciences (all types), investing, business, green technology, and cars. Your blog is great and I have to say I’ve been a long time admirer, just never commented before.

I’m a 27 year old MBA student at NYU Stern School of Business, currently interning at a venture capital firm. I use your blog to stay up to date with new advances in medicine & technology. Some of the technologies on your blog relate to businesses that we might fund. I appreciate how you write based on original publications only. I used to do laboratory research before switching over to the business side of science. Like you, I enjoy reading about science more than doing it! I love your blog & read it for personal interest too!

An English teacher in the states. In 1 month, I will begin the challenging job of teaching Brit Lit at an urban school for students either economically or academically challenged. Love the blog, it will become part of my weekly discussion on solid science writing.

Now Young Ed, I’ve been trying to tell you to stop annoying these nice folk.

But now it seems over 200 of them quite like it ! I suspect I should give up trying to keep you in hand and just stand back and cut you loose.

I occasionally provide succor to lost and orphaned British travelers and of course am an avid reader of your cancer updates. I’m particularly taken by your devotion to Alice and often entertained by your more obscure observations.

As for me (and putting family sensitivities aside) I am a bit more of a science experiment that a scientist, but have occasionally been know to proselytise on some cancer related science in the antipodes. I look forward to you solving the Vitamin D and cancer mystery and suggest you sort that PhD quick smart.

Now you behave yourself.

I’m a 25-year old Italian post-graduate in natural sciences, with a particular eye for zoology. Next autumn I will go to Scotland for a MRes in ecology, so I need to improve my academic English… this blog is a very effective (and entertaining) way to do that. I especially like your style and humour
As my favourite science topics are soil ecology and Acari, I’m a bit disappointed you never post anything about them (I’d recommend you to check something about belowground biota, or like someone once said “the rainforest of the poor man”… and about mites, which are imho the only animal group which can challenge insects in, well, coolness)

I’m a 30-something year-old biological anthropologist in Boston. I enjoy your stuff and writing style.

I’m a 22 year old psychology graduate from Scotland who’s about to do an MSc in Evolution and Animal Behaviour. I eventually want a career in psychological research. I first discovered your blog on scienceblogs just a few months ago and I can honestly say it made me certain I wanted to go back to university and do more science! Your enthusiastic writing reminded me of my own love for animal behaviour in particular, and pushed me to apply for uni at a time when I was wondering if it was the right decision. So I guess it’s kinda your fault I’m putting off getting a “proper job” for at least another year!
I love your blog, I follow it religiously and it always brightens up my day, you’re a true inspiration to me. Thanks Ed!

I’m a PhD candidate in biomedical ethics who happens to have a more-than-passing interest in things more scientific. I’m not sure how I first found your blog, but I’ve been reading it daily ever since. Thanks for everything!

Getting a PhD on Neuroscience, I am a Chinese studying in Illinois for about 6 years now. Forgot how I came across your blog, but I like to read blogger’s point of view on science and your writing is very different – funnier.

I do appreciate your work. Like people in China say: Add Oil!
