Subtle and not so subtle biases shape assessment of Fukushima
As readers of this blog may have figured out, I like to discuss political issues related to science and technology. Although I am personally a bit to the left of the American center, my ideology, if I have one, is … Continue reading
Return of the Prodigal Science Blogger
It’s been several months since I contributed here, but I expect to be back with regular blogs in about a month and shorter posts before then. I have been busy writing my newly released middle-grade book, Meltdown! The Nuclear Disaster … Continue reading
