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…

Dark matter can give you cancer — and that may be a good thing. (Synopsis)
When you think of dark matter, you very likely think of a halo of diffuse, unseen mass whose gravitational influence is felt by everything within our galaxy, and every galaxy or cluster out there. Our Milky Way, like most galaxies, is surrounded by an approximately spherical halo of dark matter. Our sun moves through this halo. But what you might not consider is that this dark matter is…
Alright, Neutrinos, The Jig Is Up!
"I have difficulty to believe it, because nothing in Italy arrives ahead of time." -Sergio Bertolucci, research director at CERN, on faster-than-light neutrinos You know the story.
