The Curse Of Top Gun

You may think an article about curses is a little too fringe weirdo for the Internet’s preeminent science blogger but that’s not the case at all. Some things, even things you would usually disregard as mistaken correlation/causation hysteria (see my important work - The Science of Freak Magnets - for an example) don’t have [...]

Important Weekend Science: The Bar Pick-Up

Scientists like order and structure and methodology. Repeatability is even better, though that often requires additional grant funding. It’s no different when it comes to weekends, bars and picking up science groupies. But it’s not so simple, even for scientists. The perfect world of methodology and repeatability is instead replaced by linguistic [...]
