"Scientists who leave academia aren’t dropouts. They’re scientists." Yes - I'm tired of academics who look down on anything except a Professorship. https://t.co/jX7DyFdsL3

New blog post on hand washing!

Teachers! Parents!

It is legal and perfectly welcome to email scientists asking for a PDF of their paper.

Until all papers are free, please RT to make this more widely known. And fyi, scientists don't get the $$ from sales of papers so all it costs us is 1 minute of time!

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

When someone starts an argument with "I'm not a scientist, but..." maybe we should stop listening to them weighing in on science. And maybe news shows should stop asking these pundits to talk about something they’re not qualified to talk about.
