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.

Ask A ScienceBlogger:

This week's question is: Assuming that time and money were not obstacles, what area of scientific research, outside of your own discipline, would you most like to explore? Why? I'm going to force myself to choose something totally outside the...

Question of the Week #4, Followup

Here I answered out overlord's question of the week, namely: Since they're funded by taxpayer dollars (through the NIH, NSF, and so on), should scientists have to justify their research agendas to the public, rather than just grant-making bodies? This...

Question of the Week, #4

The mothership asks: Since they're funded by taxpayer dollars (through the NIH, NSF, and so on), should scientists have to justify their research agendas to the public, rather than just grant-making bodies? I reply: No. Every two years the NSF...

The mothership asks If you could shake the public and make them understand one scientific idea, what would it be? I answer ......

Question for the week

The mothership asks "Will the "human" race be around in 100 years?" I answer, yes. I'm not really too taken with the question, hence my brevity....

Question of the week

As Janet and RPM have noted, the mothership has initiated an "Ask A ScienceBlogger" feature - a weekly question that us SBers will (briefly) tackle. This week the question is "if you could cause one invention from the last hundred...
