By scientificactivist on September 25, 2007.

Steve Irwin ("The Crocodile Hunter"), who died tragically in September 2006 from a stingray puncture to his chest, is a posthumous coauthor on a paper published today in PLoS One. Impressive. Bora at A Blog Around the Clock has more details.

The Crocodile Hunter is no more

Holy crap. I get up on this holiday morning, and what is the first thing that I see when I check out the ScienceBlogs most recent posts, but a bunch of posts on Pharyngula, Pure Pedantry, Dr. Joan Bushwell's Chimpanzee Refuge, and Evolving Thoughts, The Scientific Indian, and Afarensis? Steve…

I hope there are snakes and crocs in heaven

Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died yesterday after a freak accident while filming a documentary. He was impaled by a stingray through the chest. RIP.

Steve Irwin, RIP

I was watching Steve Irwin before it was cool. I discovered him by accident, channel surfing. Commercial, commercial, Law & Order, infomercial, holy crap is that guy picking up snakes by the tail?! As I recall, it was a show called, “The Ten Deadliest Snakes in Australia.” He was not a big…

A More Reality-Based Poll

May 6, 2010

Remember that strikingly inept poll analysis about the Tea Party movement from The New York Times last month? Well, the new Washington Post-ABC News poll addresses the same topic, and the Post's analysis seems to actually be rooted in reality: The conservative "tea party" movement appeals almost…

This Is a Very Dumb Poll

April 14, 2010

Actually, I should say that this is a very dumb analysis of a poll. The New York Times is really promoting its new NYT/CBS poll right now; as I write this, the top headline on the Times' homepage reads "Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated." When I first saw that headline and…

Second UCLA Pro-Test Rally Sends Strong Message in Support of Science

April 8, 2010

Today, the UCLA chapter of Pro-Test held its second rally in support of animal research. With as many as 400 or so supporters in attendance, it looks like it was another great success! Here are a couple of early reports on the event: Tom Holder of Speaking of Research: On a beautiful sunny day in…

Anaerobic Animals Discovered on Sea Floor

April 7, 2010

This is pretty neat: scientists have apparently discovered the first example of truly anaerobic animal life (i.e. an animal that can survive in the absence of oxygen). This isn't some sort of fuzzy critter, though; instead, these are tiny (less than 1 mm in length) animals that were found on the…
