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.

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...

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,...

Quick shots

Some quickies ... The University of Oklaholma has announced its year-long Darwin 2009 celebration: This View of Life. Apparently it is being launched on February 12th with a public lecture by some guy called Lynch. Yeah, that Lynch. More of...

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...

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...

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...

After all, I can't stay in San Diego forever.

"Once, for a class called Creative Nonfiction, I swam down to Scammon’s Lagoon during winter mating season and transcribed the simultaneous chatter of every gray whale, all in one continuous stream of unpunctuated prose: "Oh my God oh my click-click-click...

Scienceblogs Super Delegates Readers

Our Overlords are launching a "Super Reader" program which allows us to nominate two readers to receive super powers. Well not so much super powers as the ability to tag posts to appear in a RSS feed that will be...

Today in Science (0308)

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...
