ScienceBlogs is no more: Confessions of a Science Librarian is moving
October 30, 2017
As of November 1st, 2017, ScienceBlogs is shutting down, necessitating relocation of this blog. It's been over eight years and 1279 posts. It's been predatory open access publishers, April Fool's posts and multiple wars on science. A long and wonderful trip, career-transforming, network building…
Science in Canada: Save PEARL, The Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory
September 26, 2017

I read the first book in paperback soon after it was reprinted, some twenty years ago. And I've also been a fan of the HBO…

"A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie." -Robert Green Ingersoll One of the most amazing facts to comprehend about the Universe is that it actually is comprehensible! A few basic laws,…
White nose syndrome, continued
Image Source: Smithsonian Institution As mentioned in previous posts, white nose syndrome is responsible for the decimation of hibernating North American bats. The cause of death is starvation attributed to increased arousal when the bats should be hibernating. Dr. Craig K.R.
