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…

A Speculative Enterprise
Below, Anthony Dunne answers our final question. I can't think of any reasons why a cross-disciplinary approach would not be appropriate.â¨â¨ Design is a great catalyst for encouraging speculation in disciplines wary of moving away from how things are to how things could be, or even ought to be. I'd like to see a lot more research being done into the social, cultural, political, and even…
Why do stars twinkle?
Sure, sure, everyone knows that stars twinkle. You look up at the night sky, and pretty much any star you look at appears to fluctuate in its brightness and intensity very rapidly, giving it a "twinkling" appearance. Why does this happen? It definitely doesn't have anything to do with the star itself, because "our" star, which you call the Sun, definitely doesn't twinkle the same way: Not only…
