Religion & Law

Brian's work at Laelaps is some of the best writing on the history of science you'll find in the blogosphere, such as his recent post on the rise of anti-evolutionism resulting from the post-World War I revelation by biologist Vernon L. Kellogg of the German military's appeal to a kind of nationalistic selection as justification for the war.

Besides my admiration for his writing, even before he joined Scienceblogs, I had the pleasure of recently meeting Brian (he's the young handsome one) and he is a genuinely nice young man who deserves the scholarship in many different ways.

Please go vote for him.
