Oops, there was a Just Science again this year and we missed it. Mostly because we do just science every day. But it's nice that it's catching on. I wonder if baseball players have 'just baseball' carnivals? I keep thinking the whole point of science writing is writing science ... more than one time per year.

Those zany Canadians. If you disagree on global warming, you should be thrown in jail. Dr. David Suzuki said "What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there's a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they're doing is a criminal act." Even more ironic because he is a former board member of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

A new book argues that scientists are motivated by sex and status ... and, also, scientists don't need public funding. The money quote: And they want it for the same reasons as those white-coated chemists who work so hard to make the next breakthrough scientific discovery. To advertise their sexual fitness. I knew all of you wrote here for a reason beyond altruism; you're making dates for the next conference.
Are Cartoons Less Male Chauvinistic Now? Were They Ever?

Are Cartoons Less Male Chauvinistic Now? Were They Ever?

Honestly, did you even known there was a Department of Pedagogy anywhere? Well, there is. They teach about the science of teaching. And apparently cartoons.

Pilar Casares García is a teacher in the Department of Pedagogy at the University of Granada but instead of teaching about teaching, she researches male chauvinism. In cartoons.

This was apparently once a real problem once but she says it's better now; women are as intelligent, agile, attractive, strong, and heroic as their male counterparts ... or more.

President Bush asked Congress to double federal support for basic research in the physical sciences in the State of the Union address. I guess he reads my column.
