Last February we introduced Bomai Cruz as the second blog in the Southern Fried Science Network and the first to operate under the blog.southernfriedscience.com format. Our plans to expand the network lay dormant after that first launch, for many reasons, not the least of which was that I had just moved Southern Fried Science to a self-hosted platform and was still learning the ropes. So for the last several months I’ve been working behind the scenes, working off and on to lay the foundations for a larger Southern Fried Science Network.

It should come as no surprise that the recent incident at ScienceBlogs finally inspired me to finish the job. So today, we are proud to announce the launch of The Gam – the official mainpage for the Southern Fried Science Network. Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding more blogs to our fleet and expanding our little corner of the blogosphere (do blogospheres have corners?).

Go check out the Gam (you’ll have to go there to find out what a gam is) and check back over the next few weeks. You won’t be disappointed.
