• 28.04.2012: Graphing Out Loud: ups and downs
  

  A while back, we started looking at a poorly thought-out article from the website C3Headlines. C3 is starting to make a name for itself as a goldmine of climate comedy- their claims have recently been addressed at Tamino and SkepticalScience. We’re going to keep digging into C3‘s claim that carbon dioxide concentrations have been increasing linearly over [...]

  It is a lovely spring day and I am absorbing some sunlight, hanging out in the tail end of the Carrboro Really Free Market while I type up my notes on the Duke Mycology Symposium. There were a couple of posters which really caught my eye. One thing that I think is very interesting about [...]

  Day 2 of the Duke Mycology Symposium has wound to a close, and I am sitting on my porch contemplating the afternoon’s lectures: “Pathogen recombination during the amphibian Chytridiomycosis pandemic: Why change what’s working?” A genetics perspective on Bd, a fungus responsible for widespread amphibian mortality. Apparently one of the factors in its spread is [...]

  When I’m not too busy raging at skuptaloids online, I enjoy molecular biology and mycology, the study of fungi. Towards those ends, I’m visiting the Duke Symposium in Celebration of Mycology and Mycologists. I was only able to attend a few afternoon lectures on the first day of this conference, but am enjoying it greatly! [...]

• 04.04.2012: Graphing Out Loud: curves and lines
  

  I love graphs – my eyes quickly glaze over at a table of numeric data, but a graph, used correctly, can quickly and easily tell the whole story. ‘Used correctly’ is the key phrase – for all their power, graphs are infamously easy to bungle, and when used incorrectly they can misinform – or lie [...]

  And what, you might be asking yourselves, has he been doing all these recent months instead of writing high-octane science friction and science fact here on the intarwubs? Answer: All sorts of zany things! During a recent Really Free Market hosted by Occupy Durham, I had the opportunity to do another chemistry show.  Like the demonstration [...]
