$61,000 per MRSA hospital infection? Big deal. I'm sure the pig industry executives can easily cover that with the money they saved by over-using antibiotics.

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…

Alright, Neutrinos, The Jig Is Up!
"I have difficulty to believe it, because nothing in Italy arrives ahead of time." -Sergio Bertolucci, research director at CERN, on faster-than-light neutrinos You know the story. Last year, the OPERA experiment at CERN announced, to the shock and surprise of practically everyone, that they had observed what appeared to be neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light. How did the experiment…
Hip-Hop Artist Baba Brinkman Crowdfunding Climate Change Album
I'm not sure what an "album" is, but I think it is like a CD. Anyway, if you don't know who Baba Brinkman is, check this out. (he previously produced "The Rap Guide to Evolution.") Then, head on over to the Indiegogo site to see his project. This is likely to be a go, with your help. He's a fourth of the way there already, and he has a lot of fans and supporters. I have no doubt that this so-…
Messier Monday: The Butterfly Cluster, M6 (Synopsis)
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” -Nathaniel Hawthorne It's hard to believe that we've almost reached the end of Messier Monday, but with a finite number (110) objects in the catalogue, we were bound to come to this point. By time November ends, we'll have captured them all! In the…
