Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Bits and Pieces:
Eight Belles not worth enough?
I may be treading in hot water here but ... two years ago a colt named Barbaro broke a leg and was put into surgery while a nation apparently wept (here is what I said then). Yesterday I watched a...Posted on May 4, 2008 12:49 AM • 9 Comments
The Science that Will Not Be Denied
If you haven’t already, you must check out Charles Darwin’s blog, if only for this: However in the dramatic presentations it is clear what science is for: it is to help the police elucidate which American has killed which other...Posted on May 4, 2008 12:29 AM • 1 Comments
Atheism in the Army (and the Power of Plexiglass)
I ran across this story covering Jeremy Hall’s case (PZ comments) and just want to quote the following: [Hall’s atheism] eventually came out in Iraq in 2007, when he was in a firefight. Hall was a gunner on a Humvee,...Posted on April 26, 2008 9:02 PM • 1 Comments

Nervous about Expelled?
I’ve been quiet the past few days, primarily because I’m all nervous about the upcoming launch of Expelled - I’ve realized it’s going to be the Waterloo that Dembski predicted eight years ago. Hah! Not really. The simplistic history in...Posted on April 15, 2008 11:34 PM • 4 Comments
Why Lynch doesn't watch basketball any more ...
I don’t watch NBA basketball. I don’t watch NCAA basketball. I used to play basketball in high school and played club basketball in college (Ireland doesn’t have the same college scene as here). The reason why I don’t watch is...Posted on March 31, 2008 12:45 AM • 6 Comments
Rowing ... with swans
This made me laugh if only because I used to row back in Ireland: In Ireland, it is not uncommon for university rowing teams to cancel practice because there is a swan in the river. Rowing teams tend to be...Posted on March 30, 2008 7:02 AM • 11 Comments

Sincerest apologies for being MIA for quite a while now. This week in particular was hectic (in good ways) and time to blog was negligible. Two candidates interviewed and the systematics workshop was excellent. But it is now Saturday, Spring...Posted on March 8, 2008 11:43 AM • 2 Comments
