Tangled Bank #107 is Here! With Us, too!

June 11, 2008 · No Comments

Good news, everyone!  Today stands to be a big day.  As war continues to rage in the trenches on the vaccine/autism posts, we’re also mentioned in Tangled Bank #107.

To those of you commenting on the autism posts: the spam filter, & moderation filter, seem to be catching some of your comments, but I always approve them, so if you don’t see your comment, just wait.  And I apologize on the behalf of the technology for interrupting the flow of debate.

Tangled Bank #118 Will Be Here!

June 9, 2008 · No Comments

Who’s excited? I am. For those of you who don’t know, “Tangled Bank” is PZ Myers’ biweekly compendium of blog posts on science - especially biology and evolutionary biology - and society. We’ve been featured on it once or twice, and now we’ll be hosting the first Tangled Bank after the election.

Be excited.

Speaking of evolution, science, and politics, our friend at The Big Stick has an excellent post on evangelism & politics.  What he proves - and this ought to be uncontroversial - is that people across the political spectrum can agree that religious zealotry, turned politics, is something to be wary of.

Tangled Bank #105, and Carnival of the Elitist Bastards

May 15, 2008 · 2 Comments

Our humble site is featured in Tangled Bank #105, hosted at the Beagle Project, for our entry “How Ben Stein Destroyed Intelligent Design.”  For those of you who don’t know, Tangled Bank publishes a regular collection of blog posts on biology and science.  It’s administered by PZ Myers of Pharyngula: snark and knowledge are always guaranteed.

Also, good news everyone! I hope you’ve got a Starbucks venti iced chai latte handy (my favorite!), because we’ll be working on the first post of “Carnival of the Elitist Bastards,” hosted by Dana Hunter of En Tequila Es Verdad.

And thanks to PalMD of Denialism Blog, for a little positive press. Pal, you’re a gentleman and a scholar.

I promise a return to substantive entries tomorrow. Please forgive this brief hiatus.
