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…

Red sky at night... but why?
Sure, we're all familiar with sunsets, and how they appear to turn the entire sky close to the horizon red at night. But it turns out it isn't just the Sun, and it isn't just the sky. If you look at the Moon at either Moonrise or Moonset, guess what color it appears to be? (Even in urban settings!) Too difficult to tell? Let's find you a better picture done with time-lapse photography. What's…
Bees can sense electrical fields
Image from: Wikipedia, P7r7 New research from Dr. Daniel Robert and colleagues at the University of Bristol shows that bees are not only attracted to the bright colors and smells of flowers, they can also sense their electrical field.
