Good-bye ScienceBlogs, and Thank You
July 11, 2010
Three years ago I didn't even know what science blogging was. Frustrated as a freelance writer, I typed "science blog" into my search engine and was thrilled when this network showed up first on the list. Here was a community of researchers and writers whose love of learning and the sharing of…

As far as particle physics goes, the…

People used to claim there were big Canal-like features on Mars, and used this as evidence that Mars was very wet. It was later realized that these weren't canals, but rather geological features caused by impact…
The science of antediluvian plushies
One creationist claim that's commonly laughed at is this idea that 8 people could build a great big boat, big enough to hold all the 'kinds' of animals, and that those same 8 people were an adequate work force to maintain all those beasts for a year in a confined space on a storm-tossed ark.
