		<description><![CDATA[Warren Kornberg’s email was as unexpected as a snowfall in July, and equally as welcome.
Years have passed since I’d seen him, decades perhaps.  Who can remember such things?  But Kornberg was of the “old guard,” the troop of masters who reigned in the wondrous heyday of science writing in the late 1970s and ’80s.  He’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What’s more believable?
The announcement at a gala, premier event of a new primate fossil, touted as a “missing link” connected to human evolution, and acclaimed by its media-savvy, showmen-scientists . . .
Or . . .
The publishing in a formal, staid science journal that the fossil, along with a distant relative, is more akin to nocturnal lemurs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As far as anthropology goes, 2009 is becoming a banner year for the field.  While the scientists themselves may point to a host of discoveries, the lay public will likely only remember two – “Ida” and “Ardi.”
The announcements surrounding the unveiling of each of these two ancient primates filled approximately 1,000 stories each in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps naively, I’ve always thought myself open to new ideas.
Partly, I suppose, it’s because innovation is seen as progressive and positive, and who wouldn’t want to be seen as being receptive to new invention?  More accurately though, it’s probably traceable to the general premise that one cannot embrace science without supporting new discoveries.
Regardless of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s been a recent trend among the scholars and science communications’ practitioners to suggest that researchers and scientists should speak out more publicly in explaining their work.  If more researchers were visible and vocal, the logic goes, the public would be better informed about the science affecting public policy decisions today.
On its face, that makes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Most people don’t realize that writers are really just collectors.
They collect stories, tidbits, anecdotes, experiences, opinions, triumphs and tragedies and then salt them away until an opportunity arises to regurgitate them to hungry readers.
Sciencewriters are no different, except that most of the things they collect are “sciency” stuff, mementoes of former tales of discovery, artifacts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news last week that the Large Hadron Collider, the massive particle accelerator deep underground at the European physics laboratory CERN, suffered another major setback seemed to garner a much milder response than some people might have expected.
Officials running the huge device staged an impressive soiree early last fall for dignitaries and journalists to tout [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, the publication The Scientist did something really weird.  In its July issue, it devoted several pages and an editorial that, in effect, supported some researchers who had acknowledged their scientific misconduct.
The magazine story, “Life After Fraud,” detailed three cases where researchers recalled their experiences after being the focus of misconduct investigations by both [...]]]></description>

Earle, I love to read your blog. Kind of a closet science junky…anyway, I wanted your take on something [...]]]></description>

But alas, a bit more must be offered . . .
What made this whole debacle somewhat distasteful wasn’t the science, such as it was.  The depressing aspect was the [...]]]></description>
