The Columbus Science Pub wants you!

By tsmith on April 21, 2011.

If there's anyone living in the Columbus, OH, area who's interested in getting involved (or more involved) in science outreach and the Science Cafe movement, now's your chance. The Columbus Science Pub, which I started off back in September 2010 and which now boasts over 450 fans on Facebook, is looking for new leadership to take over when Dan (the current organizer) leaves Cowtown at the end of the summer.

Anyone interested should send a note to columbussciencepub@gmail.com.

For more information on the Columbus Science Pub, go to Columbus Science Pub's Facebook site or for information on the Science Cafe movement, check out http://www.sciencecafes.org/.

As several others have already noted, after almost 12 years, Scienceblogs is shutting down at month's end.

The high cost of academic reimbursement

September 29, 2017

Spring, 2004. I was in the second year of my post-doc, with kids ages 4 and 2.

Truthfully, we were broke as…

Is there such a thing as an "evolution-proof" drug? (part the third)

A claim that scientists need to quit making: I've written about these types of claims before. The first one--a claim that antimicrobial peptides were essentially "resistance proof," was proven to be embarrassingly wrong in a laboratory test. Resistance not only evolved, but it evolved…
