Now on ScienceBlogs: Are testosterone-deficient men responsible for shortages of a life-saving drug for women with breast cancer?
David Dobbs on science, nature, and culture.
I write on science, medicine, nature, culture and other matters for the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Slate, National Geographic, Scientific American Mind, and other publications. (Find clips here.) Right now I'm writing my fourth book, The Orchid and the Dandelion, which explores the hypothesis that the genetic roots some of our worst problems and traits — depresison, hyperaggression, violence, antisocial behavior — can also give rise to resilience, cooperation, empathy, and contentment. The book expands on my December 2009 Atlantic article exploring these ideas.
I've also written three books, including Reef Madness: Charles Darwin, Alexander Agassiz, and the Meaning of Coral, which traces the strangest but most forgotten controversy in Darwin's career — an elemental dispute running some 75 years.

1. Andrew Sullivan trashed Bono for his Times column (judge it yourself and summarize it in a contest if you'd like) -- and trashed Bono's lyrics as well.
2. A reader objected, saying Bono's lyrics weren't ALL so bad.
3. Sullivan half-conceded -- and posted this video.
Mess not with Andrew.

Or with the boys from the Chaser. They rock. Getting into the APEC security zone dressed as Osama Bin Laden last year was heroic.
