ScienceBlogs is no more: Confessions of a Science Librarian is moving
October 30, 2017
As of November 1st, 2017, ScienceBlogs is shutting down, necessitating relocation of this blog. It's been over eight years and 1279 posts. It's been predatory open access publishers, April Fool's posts and multiple wars on science. A long and wonderful trip, career-transforming, network building…
Science in Canada: Save PEARL, The Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory
September 26, 2017
Deja vu all over again. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Canadian science under the Harper government from 2006 to 2015 was a horrific era of cuts and closures and muzzling and a whole lot of other attack on science. One of the most egregious was the threat to close the PEARL…
The Trump War on Science: Daring blindness, Denying climate change, Destroying the EPA and other daily disasters
September 11, 2017
The last one of these was in mid-June, so we're picking up all the summer stories of scientific mayhem in the Trump era. The last couple of months have seemed especially apocalyptic, with Nazis marching in the streets and nuclear war suddenly not so distant a possibility. But along with those…
Friday Fun: Is Game of Thrones an allegory for global climate change?
August 18, 2017
After a bit of an unexpected summer hiatus, I'm back to regular blogging, at least as regular as it's been the last year or two. Of course, I'm a committed Game of Thrones fan. I read the first book in paperback soon after it was reprinted, some twenty years ago. And I've also been a fan of the HBO…
The Trump War on Science: EPA budget cuts, More on climate change, The war on wildlife and other recent stories
June 16, 2017
Another couple of weeks' worth of stories about how science is faring under the Donald Trump regime. If I'm missing anything important, please let me know either in the comments or at my email jdupuis at yorku dot ca. If you want to use a non-work email for me, it's dupuisj at gmail dot com. The…

300-305/366: Peregrination
A while back, I went down to Vroman's Nose in Middleburgh to go for a hike, and found a sign saying that peregrine falcons are known to nest on the cliffs. Since the peregrine falcon is SteelyKid's absolute favorite bird, and the subject of her school research project, this seemed like a good location for a family hike, so I took the kids down there yesterday. And even though that was really only…
Ask Ethan #40: What are Supernova Impostors? (Synopsis)
“If you are a dreamer come in If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer If youre a pretender com sit by my fire For we have some flax golden tales to spin Come in! Come in!” -Shel Silverstein There are fakers out there of all types, to be sure. But one of the most unexpected ones is the ultimate cosmic faker: a giant star that erupts and pretends to be a…
Gimme An M! How the Higgs Gives you Mass.
"I suppose I'll open a bottle of something if they find it." -Peter Higgs Alright, all you quarks and leptons in the house. I'm looking at you in particular, up quark, down quark, and the electron. The up and down quarks combine to make up the proton and neutron, while the electron combines with nuclei to make up atoms. We learned a little bit about how the Higgs will complete the standard model…
