By mikethemadbiologist on November 15, 2010.

Just another Manic Monday. Links for you. Science:

Time Warp: Recent right-wing rejections of Einstein's theory of relativity echo Nazi dismissals of what they called 'Jewish Physics' (they're not attacking science, they're just trying to defend their culture space)
Juiced
Serious Fun With Numbers: We're drowning in data, but few reporters know how to use them (you could also hire some scientists who know how to do this. Just saying)
What It's Like to Live in a Science Museum for a Month

Other:

Jewish Leaders Take Beck to Task for Creepy Soros Accusation: Scurrilous, Grotesque, Monstrous
Moral heuristics, public policy, and self-defeating tribalism
But it's just an hour!
I Finally Got a Kindle and I Love It but I Am Scared of Fascism
War Criminal Now a Republican Congressman (what is this 'torture' thing you speak of? We certainly don't do that)

Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland

Math by Mail: Going Strong at 30
Sometime around junior high, this Weizmann science writer stumbled upon Mathematical Games, the late Martin Gardner's monthly math puzzle at the back of my mom's Scientific American, and I became a devotee. The best ones, of course, were those that required a little sideways thinking, and these yielded the pleasure of that "Aha" moment when the answer became clear. (For more on the neurobiology…
Comments of the Week #56: From dark energy's existence to fine-tuning
“Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.” -Laurence J. Peter This past week was a super busy one on Starts With A Bang, from dark energy to stars to a fabulous book review and more! Just in the last seven days, we’ve looked at: What if dark energy isn't real? (for Ask Ethan), The great yogurt tragedy (for our Weekend…
Philae and Philae: Separated at birth?
Just so you know, Philae is a lander planning to land on a comet at this moment being landed on by an Earthling Spacecraft, and it is also an island in the Nile. Before the Rosetta space craft got close, we had no idea what the comet looked like. Now we do. And it looks like Philae! Coincidence????
