		<description><![CDATA[It was one of those emails that come out of the blue. Somebody who had seen that this blog cited the term &#8220;bad science&#8221; once before, was sending me an infographic, wanting to know what I thought. What I didn&#8217;t know was that I was just one of many bloggers to whom Tony Shin had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it ever acceptable to deceive children as a strategy for teaching them? For most folks, the quick answer is a resounding philosophical “no!”  Regardless of the fact that sometimes deception can teach a powerful lesson, the idea of deluding impressionable children with falsehoods is usually considered out-of-bounds.  We simply don’t like “lying” to our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facts and evidence can be strange things. Regardless of what you see when you look up, the sky is not blue.  We perceive it as blue because of the way the atmosphere filters the spectrum of light.  So the evidence – our eyesight – suggests a blue sky, but it isn’t a fact. In truth, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people laughed in 2005 when comedian Stephen Colbert coined the term “truthiness.”  The idea was that there are some things we all know based on our “gut feelings,” that are guided by our instinct and that lack any linkage to logic, evidence or data.  The term struck such a resounding chord that it’s now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Among those who do science (as well as those of us who cheer from the sidelines) the loss of public interest in recent years robs the soul. Many scientists, fueled by a curiosity that blossomed in childhood about how the world works, are driven to understand, to know and decipher, and to unravel nature’s mysteries.  [...]]]></description>

Out of dark, ominous skies, a funnel forms, a massive vortex opens up, and suddenly the firmament of earth, rock and steel is snatched and thrown literally as dust in the wind. The writhing, snakelike twister that initially terrified Dorothy, and us, [...]]]></description>
