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

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…

Don't get mugged by voting irregularities
So, today I was on my way to the pharmacy to buy important medicine for my son. The medicine cost about 50 bucks, and I had a fifty dollar bill in my back pocket. In my front pocket, I had a twenty. Just before I walk into the pharmacy, this dude with a mask comes along and says, "I've got a gun, give me your money." So, I hand him the $20. He grabs it out of my hand and runs away. I went…
Throwback Thursday: The Whole Story on Dark Matter (Synopsis)
“Science progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.” -Vera Rubin Yesterday, we took an amazing look at a finding that looks like it rules out Dark Matter's #1 Competitor: TeVeS. But if that's true -- and the Universe must be full of dark matter -- just what exactly do we know about this mysterious substance? Image credit: Chris Blake and Sam Moorfield, via http…
