I’m mentioned in a newspaper, in a way that isn’t likely to send a pitchfork- and torch-wielding mob lurching in my direction. I don’t know if I like it; it’s not as exciting.

Aww, and there isn’t even a comment section to casually mention your plan for world domination.
The program sounds awesome! Congrats on the grant!
Congratulations! 1.2 M is no small grant.
Don’t worry, we can send some pitchfork-toting anti-science people your way. I’m sure someone will be upset about Science Education. Hopefully some Vermont Schools can get those grants again.
You’re delusional, PZ. Encouraging “success for science students of all backgrounds” could easily send a gaggle of mindless fundies and zombie bigots to your door bearing pitchforks, torches blazing, because “science” is code for anti-god and “all backgrounds” means people other than white, hetero males.
I notice that they didn’t quote you, PZ. Too strident?
(Congrats!)
“UMM Associate Professor of Biology Paul Z. Myers”
twice.
I think that they do not know your Secret Identity.
Oh wow, they didn’t even mention crackers. That’s as though Jen McCreight appeared in a news article with no mention of Boobquake.
Nice work.
Let’s see how much of that grant money trickles down to non-squid-intensive sciency disciplines.
Never mind the grant, congrats to the newspaper for spelling “Myers” correctly!
Congratulations on the grant! Sneaky way of letting us know you got it though…
Is it me or is he not on the front page/list yet?
Whoop – wrong thread
Congrats!
How come they said nothing about Paul Z Myers being a grand poopyhead?
They don’t call you “PZ”, that’s sure to throw off the haters.
Congratulations PZ.
Wonderful grant. Congratulations!

Congrats, PZ. You have won again. The reward for a job well done is, of course…. ANOTHER JOB!!! As if you didn’e have enough to do already.
Awesome!
The Fundies won’t know its you. The article didn’t say Diablo University.
I assume it wasn’t the government that appointed you director of the grant right? Because you will spend every penny as if it was your own, and get maximum creative return on it. Of course, the government wouldn’t stand for any of that nonsense.
Does anyone else giggle at “Paul” or is it just me?
PZ sounds so much more badass.
Congratulations!
It’s so important, they printed it twice.
I hope this doesn’t cast a paul over his online reputation.
Yay!
GO PZ!
Manage that money! :D
Yay, PZ! Are you allowed to put any of it towards sacking the city of god? That would be awesome…sic the cephalopods and the zebra fish on them.
