And You Thought the Mad Biologist Could Be Critical of Economics...

If you thought I could be critical about economics, Peter Radford, at Real World Economics, is vicious in answering the question "

Dismal, yes, but is it science?

As I was driving home from work today, I was listening to Marketplace on public radio.

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,…

What is Dark Matter?
Perhaps you've been following my ongoing series on dark matter. Perhaps, like many, you're still skeptical. After all, it's not like we've gone and made it in a lab or discovered it in an experiment. 15 years after David Weinberg composed the Dark Matter Rap, we still don't know exactly what dark matter is. But there's a whole lot that we do know about it just from looking out at the Universe.…
