What I’ve Noticed
PZ points out the ridiculousness of Pat Boone’s article equating the attack in Mumbai with Prop 8 backlash. China and India will follow the US on climate change policy, but countries like Mexico are leading the way. Dr. Isis has an inspiring post up on being a woman in science. And believe me, we need […]
