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,…

How a Snail Can Bridge Science and Religion
Hexaplex trunculus Linnaeus, 1758 Please allow me to clear something up right away: I loathe to mention science and religion in the same breath. But this story is sufficiently compelling to evoke such blaspheme. How can a humble snail bridge the gap? An analytical chemist Zvi C. Koren specializing in ancient coloring agents, has identified a very special blue dye from the secretions of a…

Coon Rapids Church Part II
