Now on ScienceBlogs: An Experiment in Teaching Writing: A Look Inside the Sausage Factory
An irregular exploration of the struggle between the power of rational discourse and the scientific method on one hand, and the forces of superstition and dogma on the other. Mostly regarding climate change, though.
James Hrynyshyn is a freelance science journalist and communications consultant based in western North Carolina, where he tries to put degrees in marine biology and journalism to good use.

The
Place
Where We Are Right
The Meaning of the
Island of Doubt
By doubting we come to inquiry; and through inquiry we perceive truth.
--- Peter Abelard
Undisguised clarity is easily mistaken for arrogance.
-- Richard Dawkins
As for evolution, it happened. Deal with it.
-- Michael Shermer.
"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things
which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand.
Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving, and
tiny blasts of tinny trumpets, we have met the enemy, and not only may
he be ours, he may be us."
--Walt Kelly

On the occasion of PZ "Pharyngula" Myers' 50th birthday, I'd like pay homage to the one science blogger who can bump another's site traffic by an order of magnitude with one link. Also, who else but PZ could generate dozens of comments with a blank post, a null-set blog?
It is an honor share the blogosphere with such a guy. But I have one question: when does he have the time for all those posts?
