O poveste tristă tocmai a făcut drumul său de la Belize – American crocodil Educației Sanctuarul a ars din temelii. La prima vedere acest lucru a fost doar un raport nefericit despre un centru de cercetare și conservare, care au fost pierdute într-un incendiu tragic. Că, totuși, nu este întreaga poveste.

De Chris Grinter, on August 14th, 2010% Tonight, if you’re in San Francisco, you should make your way to Showdogs bar (near the SoMa) for skeptics in the pub with the honorable James Randi! I’ll be in attendance, along with a few fellow entomologist friends. Try this facebook link – but if that fails, the event starts at 9pm.

De Chris Grinter, on August 4th, 2010% Over on Myrmecos Alex Wild just brought to my attention a rather personal attack from a pair of republican senators (Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and John McCain, R-Ariz). Once again I started to comment, but given how close to home this hits, I felt a longer winded diatribe approaching…

De Chris Grinter, on July 14th, 2010% I’m back from the road with thousands of specimens, a little weary and ready to sit still for a bit. In all it was a wonderful trip – but I have lots and lots of processing to do. While I play catch-up, enjoy this clip. După cum știu, there is no direct relation. . . . → Citeste mai mult: (Grinter) Ghost House

This recent article in the American Naturalist has taken a second look at some of the famously inflated species estimates, some going high as 100 million (Erwin, 1988). Estimates conducted by the authors indicate that projections above 30 million have probabilities of <0.00001. Their estimated range is more likely to be between 2.5 și . . . → Citeste mai mult: Estimates of Global Species Diversity

Can’t find a way to link the direct video (not even VodPod), but here is the link to the Daily Show site. How many physicists pulled their hair out when they heard this one? Yikes, he is the newly appointed spokesman. Don’t worry Neil, you’re not going anywhere after this.

Dacă există un lucru pe care am învățat în facultate, a fost cum să mă distragă atenția cu ușurință. Am tendința de a păstra televizorul în fundal în timp ce lucrez pe calculatorul meu, mai ales noaptea târziu, când am, de obicei, un război împotriva câștigătoare somn.

De Chris Grinter, on May 25th, 2010% With Korea teetering on the edge of a hot war, an ecological disaster of unprecedented proportion and civil unrest in Jamaica (someone harshed their mellow) – just to name a few of todays headlines from other sources – CNN takes the time to fluff up its front page.

I turned around and there were three glowing lights floating silently above me. I literally thought to myself “holy s#@% I don’t believe in this crap!”. The . . . → Citeste mai mult: How easy is it…
