XMRV: ITS EVERYWHERE! UUUUUGH! ITS IN MY RACCOON WOUNDS! AND MY QIAGEN COLUMNS!

DNA Extraction Columns Contaminated with Murine Sequences This paper makes me very thankful for two things:1-- Bossman is extremely neurotic about controls (this apparently, is inheritable, because I am too). 2-- I dont work on a mouse virus. If the list of potential sources of contamination in the…

MMTV and Breast Cancer

Sorry, Hitch. Religion doesnt poison *everything*. Thanks to the bumbling efforts of 'respected' scientists like Judy Mikoivts, we now know that its not religion, but mouse DNA, that poisons everything. Relatively new readers of ERV are well aware of the fact that all efforts to connect XMRV to…

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…
