Cloudy, gray. Maybe some links will help? Science:

The likelihood of pollen from GE cotton causing harm to the environment is about as likely as a poodle escaping into the wild
Empiric antibiotics in the ICU
Study shows reusable bags contain high levels of lead content

Other:

Money and the Midterms: Are the Parties Over? Interview with Thomas Ferguson
Straight Talk In Troubled Times
2 Dems claim Arianna Huffington stole website idea (Considering Peter Daou is one of the plaintiffs, this could get very interesting)
TSA Backlash week
Schools missing mark on MCAS (it seems impossible to expect all students to be proficient. Ever. But it's reform!)

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…

Sunday Function
Saw "Up" yesterday. How Pixar manages to be so consistent in their astonishing quality is entirely beyond me. In a bit of a tribute, this Sunday Function is not about any dramatically important special function, but instead it's about filling a balloon. Air or water, as your preference. You'll have noticed that when you start to fill a balloon, its radius expands very rapidly at first before…
Dissecting lions and tigers: Inside Nature's Giants series 2, part III
I hope everyone has been enjoying my write-ups of Inside Nature's Giants (ING), series 2 (for comments on episode 1 go here, and for thoughts on episode 2 go here). Time to look at ep 3: the big cat one. Given that big cats are more popular (among the general populace) than are either sharks or snakes, it's predictable that this was the most discussed, most anticipated episode. Like the others…
Isopachys: worm-like skinks from Thailand and Myanmar
I've been ill, and pressing deadlines for book chapters and other projects have kept me busy. An inability to post stuff on Tet Zoo always frustrates me, as there's just so much Tet Zoo-relevant stuff to get through. And, on that note: I must have said on many occasions that there are whole tetrapod groups, consisting of hundreds or even thousands of species, that I've either never mentioned at…
