October 18, 2017
As several others have already noted, after almost 12 years, Scienceblogs is shutting down at month's end. Though I've done most of my writing elsewhere over the last few years, I'd certainly like to keep the archives of this blog up somewhere, and maintain it as a place to post random musings that…
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. Because I was no longer a student, the full brunt of my student loan payments had hit me, which were collectively almost double the cost of my mortgage. To put it generously, money was tight. Truthfully, we were broke as…
Vaccine advocacy 101
July 26, 2017
I recently finished a 2-year stint as an American Society for Microbiology Distinguished Lecturer. It's an excellent program--ASM pays all travel expenses for lecturers, who speak at ASM Branch meetings throughout the country. I was able to attend Branch meetings from California and Washington in…
Is there such a thing as an "evolution-proof" drug? (part the third)
May 31, 2017
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…

Arrived in the U.S. Long Before ‘Patient Zero’ Gaetan Dugas: "patient…

Messier Monday: A Real-Life Pi-in-the-Sky Cluster, M38
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." -W. Shakespeare Welcome to just another Messier Monday here on Starts With A Bang!

Science Denialists Have Delayed Action On Climate Change: Soon vs. the Hockey Stick
If you have not been living in a cave, and had you been, I’d respect that, you know about Willie Soon Gate. Willie soon is a researcher on soft money at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Soon is well known for producing research of questionable quality that anemically attempts to buck the scientific consensus that human caused greenhouse gas pollution is rapidly raising the Earth’s…
Another Year, Another Almanac
A while back I raised the question: Is there still room on the shelf for an almanac? in reference to the World Almanac for Kids. I thought it might be cool for some kids of the right age, if nothing else to demonstrate them (however untrue it may be) that there are still some things you can learn from that are not on line. Now, I've got a copy of The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2013. This…
