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…

Snail Surfing
If you look up snail surfing on YouTube, you come up with some fun videos of snails riding leaves: Or floating in pairs: But there are no videos showing snails surfing by making rafts out of bubbles...at least that I could find. The violet snail (Janthina exigua), creates these rafts not only for floating, but also to store eggs and as platforms for young snails. They create these bubbles from…
