Too often we judge people on Newsvine by their Newsvine personas. By Jason's he is one thoroughly decent guy.
— Oluseye

Jason seeds so many excellent articles (especially in the science section) that I get worn just trying to read it all. I do not know how he manages it, but I think most will agree that newsvine is better off because he does. For any of you newbies (or even oldies) out there, make sure this guy is on your watchlist.
— praetor605

Jason, I appreciate your faith (which in your case is obviously not something you just wear on Sundays) and your balanced input in scientific matters.

Cheers.
— Paddy Ryan

I will be on vacation until the end of the month and I will not be able to publish the weekly science reviews. Therefore I ask two people if they would like to take on this task - Jason Coleman and praetor605. Please leave comments here or ask someone you know to do this.
