Two weekend days with sun? NEVAH! Let's celebrate with some links. Science:

Cricket farm wiped out by fast moving virus
Do they have an app for hand sanitizer? Demo iPads at city Apple stores are crawling with bacteria
Baby's first bacteria depend on route of delivery
Many dramatic research results rely on the reports of survey respondents, who are prone to error, exaggeration, and misperception. Is there any place for self-reported results in science?
Vultures use twigs to gather wool for nests

Other:

Let the Medicare physician payment cuts take effect
Today in the Gulf
Centrist and clueless

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

"Man's Best Friend"
When I saw the advertisement for the NOVA special on dogs called Dogs Decoded, I just had to watch it! This special shows just how smart man's best friend really is. If you have ever owned a dog, you have probably noticed that they seem to be tuned in to how we feel. In this special, scientists sought to figure out just how tuned in they really are. What they found was that dogs are actually…

The Pogeyan, a new mystery cat
I've pretty much given up on TV. I occasionally watch a few things (The IT Crowd, Doctor Who, QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks), but mostly it's all shit and I'd be very happy to not have a TV at all. Once in a blue moon, however, there is something really good. On Friday evening (Jan 16th), BBC 2 screened 'The Mountains of the Monsoon' as part of its The Natural World series. This featured wildlife…
