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

The Physics of Hot Pockets!
When I was a teenager, my choice of food was basically determined by three criteria: It needed to be ready in under 10 minutes. It needed to have enough calories to make me not hungry anymore. And it needed to be (marginally) edible. That was really it. And so it won't surprise you to know that a portion of my diet at the time consisted of -- you guessed it -- Hot Pockets. And to be fair, they…
The 4 Jobs of a Referee in Peer Review
"From my close observation of writers... they fall into two groups: one, those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and two, those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review." -Isaac Asimov You'd never know it unless you were one of about six people in the entire world, but today is a landmark anniversary for me. Three years ago, I was on summer break from teaching at my…
The Greenest of Wash
Here at Guilty Planet, every day is Earth Day. So on Earth Day, I thought it might be fun to check out a few self-proclaimed eco-friendly products (the Rainforest Action Network also has a take on corporate Earth Day sponsorship). How about HINT water. I think I've seen it sold in Starbucks. Here's a letter I received from them on World Water Day: Hi Jennifer - Thought this might make a fun…
