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
Deja vu all over again. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Canadian science under the Harper government from 2006 to 2015 was a horrific era of cuts and closures and muzzling and a whole lot of other attack on science. One of the most egregious was the threat to close the PEARL…
The Trump War on Science: Daring blindness, Denying climate change, Destroying the EPA and other daily disasters
September 11, 2017
The last one of these was in mid-June, so we're picking up all the summer stories of scientific mayhem in the Trump era. The last couple of months have seemed especially apocalyptic, with Nazis marching in the streets and nuclear war suddenly not so distant a possibility. But along with those…
Friday Fun: Is Game of Thrones an allegory for global climate change?
August 18, 2017
After a bit of an unexpected summer hiatus, I'm back to regular blogging, at least as regular as it's been the last year or two. Of course, I'm a committed Game of Thrones fan. 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…
The Trump War on Science: EPA budget cuts, More on climate change, The war on wildlife and other recent stories
June 16, 2017

False "balance" about Stanislaw Burzynski's cancer quackery rears its ugly head again
One common theme that has been revisited time and time again on this blog since its very founding is the problem of how science and medicine are reported. For example, back when I first started blogging, one thing that used to drive me absolutely bonkers was the tendency of the press to include in any story about vaccines an antivaccine activist to “tell the other side” or for “balance” to the…
From "Drudgery" to "Printing": AAAS' take on the dissertation
Writing a dissertation is rarely fun. Most scientists I know look back on grad school as, well, a circle of Hell. But it's interesting when AAAS, the professional organization of scientists, endorses this viewpoint - as they appear to do in this T-shirt, which comes free with membership. Come on, kids! Show everyone how you really feel about your degree! Remind your family that you're not "that…
