Numerical models suggest that Mooney and Nisbet will be in rare form this Friday night at Science Club in DC. And Big Head Rob and Kelly Ann Collins have official party announcements (one of which includes a Weird Science poster). But will this unprecedented social union between a few science geeks and stylish bloggers like Rob, KAC, and Rock Creek Rambler lead to a Big Bash? Or will it be more like cold fusion?
Inquiring minds, with and without Ph.D.s, want to know....
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

I unabashedly claim that Robert Jensen's incisive expose, OUTSIDE THE FRAME, of Georgie Lakoff's framing drivel at Counterpunch (Aug 14, 2006) should be more than adequate to make Mr. Nisbet cringe in shame. Framing science? My arse!

I'm betting on Cold Fusion -- a lot of heat, but very little light (and certainly no neutrons).
You may want to bring a thermometer along with you to confirm (I'll let you choose the type, Chris).

Here is a guest on video that you can invite, Richard Feynman.
In this BBC Horizon program, he gives his ideas about doing science. As always, he makes a lot of sense.
