His speech was a lousy apology. Where do we even start to try to address the problem here? Who is wo...

One woman's adventures navigating science and the media. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Book Review: Mastermind (In Defense of Dr. Watson). One of the biggest perks about attending Science Online. In person this year was that all attendees received complimentary books. I got my first choice in the book lottery – Maria Konnikova’s Mastermind. How to Think like Sherlock Holmes. The average person, but I bristled at the word lazy. Not because it isn’t correct – she fully backs up her reasoning w...When I read t...

Here at Science Decoded (mostly because I don't have the time to read that I used to) but I just finished Lynn Povich's The Good Girls Revolt. I have a closet full of dresse...

Science Decoded: November 2012

http://sciencedecoded.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

One woman's adventures navigating science and the media. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. The Question of Code Revisited: I Think I Can, So Can't I? 8220;All of the true things I’m about to tell you are shameless lies.” Is it ever acceptable to walk into an interview with a mentality straight out of the Books of Bokonon. From Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle. I’ve been turning this over in my brain for a couple of months now. In September I wrote a blog post. Became a lot less clear and a lot more complicated.
