Well, it’s been a whirlwind year here at SFS. We moved to our own server and launched the Gam – the largest network of (mostly) marine science blogs. Below are our ten most popular (by pageviews) posts of 2010:

  • How to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel
  • How to build a canoe from scratch on a graduate student stipend
  • Anti-shark stereotypes in “River Monsters”
  • 10 reasons why marine mammals aren’t as cute as you think they are
  • The Tea Party’s disturbing views about science
  • The Cove, Dolphins, and Mercury
  • Our favorite sea monsters – Ningen (#4)
  • Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
  • Blood and Brains – can vampires survive a zombie apocalypse
