pharyngula | March 14, 2011The situation in Japan is looking dire. Workers have been evacuated for their safety from one of the failing nuclear plants, setting the stage for a possible meltdown. There have been more explosions, and more venting of radiation. Another unit, Unit 4, which was not one of the plants that was highly stressed in the earthquake, is now on fire.
I'm going to be going to bed soon. I have a grim feeling about the news I'll be waking up to. But I figured I'd better create a space here for the overnight discussion of the doomful news coming out of Japan.

stoat | March 7, 2011As a respite from all the people whinging about scientists being poor communicators, Eli writes Blaming the Other Guy While Copying from the Guy Who Buys the Drinks in which he points out the obvious: the people doing a crap job of communicating science are the journalists.
To which I'd add: that of course there is a stratum of journalists that are doing an excellent job of communicating lies and untruths, and a few telling the truth.
But if the public wanted intelligently written journalism that actually explored issues carefully, they would get it. Alas (as far as I can tell), most of them…

pharyngula | February 2, 2011It's next week, you know. 12 February. All the cool kids will be talking science. That's what they'll be doing at KU on 8 February.
pharyngula | February 1, 2011Queensland, Australia is currently threatened by a major cyclone, and everyone is bracing for the impact. There isn't much we can do right now but watch and wait, and be prepared to help however we can. But there are things that are pointless to do.
I thought this was the silliest, most useless web source I'd find for this problem: it's a set of specific instructions on how to pray during a natural disaster. Yeah, everybody in Cairns right now — all you need to do is get on the internet, read a few hundred words telling you what to pray for, and then get on your knees and start begging God…

pharyngula | January 24, 2011Eventually, anyway. Jack LaLanne has died after a lifetime as a paragon of fitness and exercise.
OK, so he was healthy and vigorous and active right up until the end. OK, so he was 96. I tell you, eventually all that exertion will catch up with you!

drorzel | January 7, 2011A story to improve your opinion of humanity:
Egypt's majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.
From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as "human shields" for last night's mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.
"We either live together,…
