clock | November 21, 2006Two years ago, there was quite a brouhaha in the media when Serbian minister for education decided to kick Darwin out of schools. The whole affair lasted only a few days - the public outrage was swift and loud and the minister was forced to resign immediately. I blogged about it profusely back then and below the fold are those old posts:

clock | November 20, 2006Mahablog has two excellent posts analyzing (and linking to other good analyses) of the changes the Left and Right blogosphere experienced over the last several years and explains why the Right blogs were more powerful in the beginning and why the Left is much more effective today:

This is a Pinto that was intelligently designed:

clock | November 20, 2006The snake and the apple tree. The benevolent dictatorship and the tyranny of peer pressure. A floating library and a deadly fungus. The saga of the Baudelaire triplets has come to The End. Some loose ends are tied. Some mysteries remain. The atmosphere is not as treacherous, dangerous and heart-stopping as the previous twelve books, but that comes as a relief! Makes you think more instead of cowering for your life. Even with the final resolution, enough remains open-ended for Snickety to start a whole new series.

Often a press release inflates the meaning of a research paper. Here is one example of it (from May 23, 2006):
--------------------------------------
From Afarensis, I got a new paper about circadian rhythms in primates: Twenty-four hour rhythmic gene expression in the rhesus macaque adrenal gland (PDF), by Dario Lemos, Jodi Downs and Henryk Urbanski.
The way the study is presented in the press release (now offline!), it sounds like this is a big surprising breakthrough, but I am not too impressed. The work is good and useful, but the findings are far from Earth-shattering.

Elementary-school-aged children commonly experience sleep problems, but little research has addressed the reasons behind this phenomenon. A new study finds that children of this age say they have sleep difficulties much more often than their parents report such problems.
Sleep Apnea Patients At Higher Risk For Deadly Heart Disease; Arrhythmia Found To Increase During REM:

clock | November 20, 2006As John said right after the last election:
Besides picking our candidates and races, I think the most valuable thing most of could do is to help shape the conventional wisdom. We blog, we write letters to the editor, we talk up our relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. We should try to take down the straight talking St. McCain and the weak-on-defense Democrats narratives. It's never too soon to start casting doubt on the Republicans we plan to target; broken promises are the most effective critique. And, of course it's never too soon to start talking up the candidates we support.(bolding…
