One thing you have got to give to the more-than-slightly unhinged staff at The Cronk of Higher Ed is that they have a bizarre and hilarious take on the most important issues in higher education.
And sort of dead-on too.
This is a case of So Funny It Hurts.
I took this picture when I was in Paris a few years ago. It's not fantastic, but I'm hoping to improve on the shot when I'm over there a few months from now.
During an National Basketball Association's (NBA) Eastern Conference finals game last month, Chicago Bulls' center Joakim Noah directed a homophobic slur toward a fan sitting behind him in the arena stands.
I watched most of Syracuse's win over Notre Dame last night. Two basketball games in the same week! Luxury!
Gah, of all the semesters to not be at ND... I'll pass the word along and cajole my friends to go. Forgive them if they seem gloomy. Wasn't a good weekend for the Gold and Blue...
Harvey Bender is still professor of genetics?!?!?!?
I took his course in 1968!!! (wonder if he's still offering to bet pennies and nickels on the outcome of football games, or if inflation has struck?)
Loved your talk at Notre Dame a couple of weeks back. It was refreshing to hear that talk at a Catholic university.
I was wondering if you have read/reviewed "Sex, Drugs, & DNA" by Michael Stebbins. You mentioned during your talk at ND that the topics most commonly touted in the media as controversial to the scientific community, are, in fact, not points of contention at all. Does this book fall into that category, or is it any good?
Did Alvin Plantinga catch your talk?
