Just watch this over and over again - I'll be back in a few days: Featuring: Francie Diep, Emily Elert, Rose Eveleth, Mary Beth Griggs, Mara Grunbaum, Ferris Jabr and Douglas Main, all recent graduates of the Science Writing program (SHERP) at the NYU school of journalism...
ScienceOnline2012 is this week! Yikes! Lots of last-minute details still to put in place, but I think we'll be fine. Of course, as one of the organizers, it's hard for me to relax even during the event, always watching, making sure that everything is OK...
For many years people who attend conferences - including scientific conferences - noticed something interesting: the best discussions were those that occurred outside of lecture halls.

I was initially not going to do a year in review, but all the cool kids are doing it, so why not? It was an eventful year, after all. The launch of this network was the #1 event of the year for me...

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) released his "Wastebook" a week ago - a list of 100 government-funded projects that are supposedly a waste of money.Every campaign season, quite predictably, someone from the GOP makes a document like this, listing examples of spending that, in their view, represents the most egregious excesses of governmental spending...
I originally posted this on April 13th, 2010. Whenever I read a paper from Karl-Arne Stokkan's lab, and I have read every one of them, no matter how dense the scientese language I always start imagining them running around the cold, dark Arctic, wielding enormous butterfly nets, looking for and catching reindeer (or ptarmigans, whichever animal the paper is about) to do their research...
