About a week ago I posted Twittering is a difficult art form - if you are doing it right.
Yesterday, Jay Rosen on Twitter wrote that his goal on Twitter was to have "a Twitter feed that is 100 percent personal (my own view on things...) and zero percent private."
On Twitter, mindcasting is the new lifecasting:
Episode 64 of the Mindcast is up! Karl J. Mogel of the Innoculated Mind blog interviews Phillip Johnson and my SciBling Ed Brayton.

I've heard Neil Shubin speak a few times on TV and Radio and he is compelling and makes a case for science without beating anyone over the head with it. Maybe he should consider trying out for replacing Richard Dawkins as the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford.

I just got his book in the mail and started reading it. It's really interesting and I love how down to earth it is for the average reader.

Especially loved the part about human testes not being 'designed' very well, due to our fish ancestors.

Yeah, I bought Your Inner Fish at an airport bookstore of all places and found it every bit as interesting and compelling as Ron Jeremy's autobiography that I bought from the same airport book store. Now, how is that for a testimony for Neil's book?
