Tuesday, March 24, 2015. In the New York Times this morning. Obviously there are many people in politics and industry that don't. By critiquing the process of peer review. Climate change deniers (for want of a better term) like to argue that the scientific community is not neutral - that it is an advocate for the theory of anthropo...

http://paleocoll.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-collection-centered-museum.html
Prerogative of Harlots is a blog about museums and museum collections, with an occasional seasoning of paleontology and a lot of really ill-informed musings about other stuff. Sunday, July 20, 2014. If this blog has any sort of unifying principle, it’s the idea that the successful museum is the one that remains centered on its collections. I expounded this idea in a guest post on AAM’s Center for theFuture of Museums blog. If you’re interested. Healthy collections nourish successful public programs. ...

Saturday, October 4, 2014. Suggested that while Americans view scientists as competent, they are not entirely trusted.

The Life You (And I) Never Knew: When two become one (for real)
http://thelifeyouandineverknew.blogspot.com/2011/07/when-two-become-one-for-real.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. When two become one (for real). The deep sea anglerfishes. Of my previous post are famous for their strange reproductive habits. These habits are strange because they are much more similar to the feeding. Habits of most other organisms.
