So. Star Trek turned 45 last Thursday. Wow. It's been nearly twenty years since I lost my Star Trek innocence. I wasn't much of a sci-fi fan as a teenager, especially not the teevee shows. I loved Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica and... that [...]

I am enjoying reading Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. As the back cover promises it offers relief from scaremongering journalists, pill pushing nutritionists, flaky statistics and evil pharmaceutical corporations. I should add homeopathy to the list. [...]

A while ago Andy Farke over at The Open Source Paleontologist listed open access journals for paleontologists with their pros and cons. Quite a helpful resource, so if you think about publishing a paleontological paper, make sure to head over [...]
