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
August 31, 2011
Recently, The New York Times published an op-ed calling for curricular changes in K-12 math education: Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a "reform" version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by…

The biggest question about the beginning of the Universe (Synopsis)
"Space is certainly something more complicated than the average person would probably realize. Space is not just an empty background in which things happen." -Alan Guth If you go back in time, earlier and earlier, things get hotter, denser and more energetic. But there's a limit to how far back you can go, and that limit doesn't end in a singularity with the birth of time and space; instead, it…

Sure, if you're in the northern hemisphere, you probably recognize the Big Dipper, the bright stars in the constellation Orion (particularly the "belt"), the Pleiades, otherwise known as…
Insulin, sugar, and evolution
In my last post, I wrote about insulin and interesting features of the insulin structure.  Some of the things I learned were really surprising.  For example, I was surprised to learn how similar pig and human insulin are.  I hadn't considered this before, but this made me wonder about the human insulin we used to give to one of our cats.  How do cat and human insulin…
