There are several answers to this question. One was overheard the other day among a bunch of well educated people oriented towards science who were taking a break from their job. Person 1: "So, how effective is the seasonal flu shot?" Person 2: "I heard about 1%. If you get the flu shot, you'll…

I'm waiting for the toaster when the dog trots into the kitchen. "You should give me some bacon!" she says. "Why is that?" I ask. "To prevent swine flu!" "Look, there's no chance that I'm going to get swine flu from eating pork products. I know you saw some people on the Internet saying that they'…
There's been a bit o' lively chatter around the blogosphere about the present tenure system for teachers. One of the clear arguments is that bad teachers should be able to be fired more easily so our children get a better education. Seems nice right? But would it work? Here's one reaction from…

Maybe you missed it, but the huge surge of downloads crashed their servers for about 2 hours. Maybe linking isn't such a hot idea right now.
