Since the bloggingheads "diavlog" with David Dobbs and me was the first science-oriented installment to come out (more or less) since the repudiation of Bloggingheads.tv by Carl Zimmer and Sean Carrol, and now Phil Plait and PZ Myers, I think I should say something about why I did it and what I…
I haven't had time to see it yet, but Henry Farell did a longish book review-type interview with me on Bloggingheads.tv which has just gone up. Among other thrills, you get to see the inside of my apartment.
Seriously, though, I hope you'll check it out, Henry is a very smart guy and asked some…
John Horgan and George Johnson are going at it again on Bloggingheads. The most interesting part, I thought, was the discussion of EO Wilson's turn towards group selection; one of the themes of Gould's last book was the existence of levels of selection above the individual and the gene. Gould and…
I sort of feel like I ought to have something to say about the recent controversy over creationists on bloggingheads.tv, which has caused Sean Carroll and Carl Zimmer to renounce the whole site. If you're too lazy to click through those links, the basic problem is that bloggingheads has twice…
Sorry OT, but -
Is it true that the Scientia Natura blog is closed because of Muslims and that Shalini is in some sort of serious trouble because of that?
She may be in serious financial trouble. Hang tight until we hear some kind of official word.
Whoa, that is scary. I'll be checking the blogosphere for updates.
It is really sad though that the blog is closed. Having come to atheism and reason through her posts and blog make the whole situation really sad.
That was good. Makes me realize why Shubin was so good on Colbert: He just really, really enjoys his work.
Wait, what? Shalini in trouble with Muslims? I have been reading her blog for over a year and I don't recall her ever mentioning Muslims.
Muslims can be really nasty. I hope everything turns out well.
Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed it. Shubin really does a good job of giving an overall impression of what scientists do. They're trying to figure out things - not advocate a preconceived idea.
Unfortunately, those that might benefit from his real-world explanations of how his scientific work is done, I would expect not have the patience to sit through the whole interview.
I have the book, can't wait to have time to read it.
