Oops, there was a Just Science again this year and we missed

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.

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.

We know that graduate school admissions in science went way up in 2006 and that's a good thing.
