Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland
August 31, 2011
Recently, The New York Times published an op-ed calling for curricular changes in K-12 math education: Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a "reform" version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by…

Weekend Diversion: One for the Experimenters
"My idea of perfect happiness is a healthy family, peace between nations, and all the critics die." -David Mamet As a theorist in physics, most of my research time is spent looking for errors in painstaking calculations, writing and running simulation code, and trying desperately to connect some very abstract concepts to potential observables in either experiments or the Universe. But for…
What makes a supernova so super, anyway?
Daughter, age 7: "Daddy, will the Earth always go around the Sun forever?" Louis CK: "Well no, at some point the Sun is going to explode." Daughter: (starts crying) Louis CK: "Oh honey, this is not going to happen until you and everyone you know has been dead for a very long time." Daughter: (continues crying) As you all know, the closest supernova to us in the last quarter-century has recently…
A defense of ENCODE?
Dan Graur has snarled at the authors of a paper defending ENCODE. How could I then resist? I read the offending paper, and I have to say something that will weaken my own reputation as a snarling attack dog myself: it does make a few good points. But it's mostly using some valid criticisms to defend an indefensible position. Here's the abstract. In its last round of publications in September 2012…
