Just a couple of things that I've been meaning to give a plug to:
1. Daniel Collins, a geoscientist and environmental engineer at MIT, has started a new science blog entitled "Down to Earth." Check it out.
2. Defenders of Wildlife has launched a new program, the Conservation Support Network, to help promote the use of good science--not "sound science"--in wildlife protection policy. The scientific integrity movement continues to grow....

Enjoy....
