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…

"I'm not ashamed to dress 'like a woman' because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman." - Iggy Pop Well folks, it's that time of year once again: to share my favorite holiday with you and change my digital avatar for the next 365 days!

Weekend Diversion: Pedal power... in the office?
"Education is a continual process, it's like a bicycle... If you don't pedal you don't go forward." -George Weah I don't know how many of you out there have an office day job, sitting hunched over at a desk for the better part of 8+ hours a day, but it's pretty well known that it's not only bad for you, but it feels bad to do, physically. Staying in one motionless position or posture for…
Naturopathy: When fake doctors cosplay real doctors
Someone yesterday was not very happy with my attitude towards naturopaths, as evidenced in my post yesterday about the death of a young woman named Jade Erick due to intravenous infusion of curcumin by—you guessed it—a naturopath. Amusingly, that someone going by the 'nym of JR said that he or she didn't "like the tone of this article and it’s complete disregard for naturopaths." Well, JR, you're…
