"Plans on cutting back from blogging." - I'll believe it when I see it! People talk about doing this all the time...but keep coming back.
Perhaps he agrees with you as to the tenure effect, and the associated reputation.
Robin may believe that more blogging would be better for science in general, while also realizing that getting into peer-reviewed journals would be far more beneficial for his personal career.
I may think that it's stupid for the government to send out "stimulus" checks. It sure as hell doesn't mean I'll send mine back to them!
"Peer-reviewed"?
Blogs are the most peer-reviewed thing on earth. Now, to be far, we commenters are not your peers. But that could be accomplished with controls put on who comments, and maybe moving us hacks to some secondary commenting list. Hey, I actually like that idea.
The blog world is a much more rigorous environment than journals. That is why I consider both you and Bryan much more courageous than a writer for some journal that ends up in the university library basement.
