thoughts on science, history, and teaching
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.

LGBT people in science
Onias raises an interesting question (to which I have no answer) in another thread, namely: I was wondering if any of you folks at science blogs can discuss the issue of LGBT people in science. Apart from Jim Pollack, Alan...Posted on April 26, 2008 8:15 PM • 14 Comments
Congratulations!
I have only one student completing an honors thesis with me this semester. Congratulations are due to Jes Joganic for successfully defending her thesis (An examination of the factors contributing to the development of posterior plagiocephaly in infants) this afternoon,...Posted on March 21, 2008 9:04 PM • 2 Comments
Edges and Boundaries of Biological Objects
John Wilkins and I have been at the Edges and Boundaries of Biological Objects workshop here in Salt Lake City for the past few days. John live-blogged some of the talks, so you may want to check his posts out....Posted on March 15, 2008 5:31 PM • 0 Comments
Vox Day and women in science
Theodore Beale, a.k.a. "Vox Day", quote-miner and "Christian libertarian opinion columnist," apparently has issues with women in science. This via Ed Brayton: Because they are the intellectual driving force of humanity, men will be fine. They will simply continue to...Posted on March 11, 2008 12:18 PM • 4 Comments
A week in the life
It’s going to be quite the busy week here at ASU. John Wilkins is in town, as is Richard Dawkins. For the latter’s talk on Thursday, I’ve managed to snag VIP tickets - courtesy of the RDF - for Wilkins...Posted on March 2, 2008 1:03 AM • 3 Comments
Was there a Darwinian Revolution?
As promised, here [pdf, 7.83M] are the slides from today’s Darwin Day talk for the Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix. There were somewhere between 80 and 100 people in attendance, and I think it went quite well. And for...Posted on February 10, 2008 2:52 PM • 6 Comments
Some random academic stuff
Yesterday was a good day, though a long one. I was in my office from nine in the morning meeting with students constantly (talking about upcoming papers) until I began teaching at 12:15. My classes were discussing the Book...Posted on February 8, 2008 1:46 AM • 1 Comments
Nature drops the ball on Science Debate 2008
James Hrynyshyn highlights an editorial in Nature that offers luke-warm support for Science Debate 2008. Frankly, the criticisms are paltry and misconceived. Well meant though it may be, the idea of Tim Russert or some other journalist-interrogator looking Republican hopeful...Posted on February 6, 2008 3:56 PM • 12 Comments
Upcoming Talk: Was There A Darwinian Revolution?

Good times!
Coming on the end of the week here and all is good. My classes look sharp, so it should be a good semester of teaching. Various non-teaching bits and pieces have clicked together over the past few days, so it...Posted on January 18, 2008 2:15 AM • 0 Comments
A new semester ...
The semester formally starts tomorrow. As usual, I’m teaching three courses - two sections (19 students each) of The Human Event, our "great books" seminar, and one lecture course (115 students), Origins, Evolution and Creation. I’ve also got one student...Posted on January 13, 2008 6:10 PM • 0 Comments
Compare and contrast
John Stockwell (among others) has suggested that there needs to be a baseline with which to compare Behe’s productivity as a scientist. Stockwell suggested Sean B. Carroll and, as always, I’m happy to oblige. (FYI, I’ve omitted Carroll’s review articles.)...Posted on December 7, 2007 3:32 PM • 4 Comments
