“[SV-POW! is] the most remarkable thing” — Mike Benton, Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology, Bristol University; Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
“I think SV POW is fantastic, especially the tutorials, and very accessible to those without expertise in the field. We are always pleased to see researchers out there who are keen to share their enthusiasm for their work with the general public, as it all helps improving understanding and attitudes towards science.” — Toni Hamill, researcher, Center for Life.
“This article brought tears to my eyes, it’s so good.” — Nathan Myers.
“If your blog was just a rehash of published information, I would have much less reason to read it. But the current setup is like visiting a museum collection or SVP, but without the cost and travel time. [...] Keep up the good work!” — Mickey Mortimer.
“SV-POW is not a photoblog. It has always been one of the most serious science blogs out there. Their posts, almost every one of them, deserves a DOI.” — Bora Zivkovic, Online Discussion Expert for PLoS.
“Blogs allow a forum for knowledgeable people to speak and be heard. Degreed professionals–such as the guys at SV-POW!–[...] do a tremendous job of presenting complicated information to the public and professional communities.” — Andy Farke, Curator, Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology.
