Found Holsinger’s Testimony

It wasn’t on C-SPAN, but I found it from capitolhearings.com on the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee website: http://help.senate.gov/Hearings/2007_07_12/2007_07_12.html More to follow, I assume…

Holsinger Testimony?

If anyone can find Dr. Holsinger’s testimony in front of the Senate, I’d appreciate you dropping me a note (post a comment). I can’t find it on C-SPAN, but maybe it’s just not uploaded yet…?

Holy Singer, Batman!

With Surgeon General Carmona’s departure from the Bush administration, it’s time for the President to do what he does best: appoint qualified people for high-ranking positions in our Executive Branch. I’d say that the President has done a heckuva job so far. The current position that is open is the […]

The Nation’s Doctor

This is going to make me sound like the total nerd that I am, but here we go: I grew up with a deep-seated admiration for Dr. C. Everett Koop. Who is that? He was the only member of the U.S. government that I knew, besides the president, when I […]

Solar Cooling, Global Warming

In all fields of research which operate at both the frontier of understanding and the interface with politics, there are vocal skeptics. Human-induced global climate change is surely the most current of these. While U.S. public opinion about the ability of humans on climate has shifted in support of the […]

Science Then, ScienceNOW!

Tomorrow night, NOVA will air the next in its series of science news magazines, “ScienceNOW”. The topics will be: the importance of sleep, and the Large Hadron Collider. I’d encourage everybody to watch this, especially those in physics and most especially those working on or near the LHC. Why? Well, […]

Public Funding of Science

Tonight on “Tech Nation”, Dr. Moira Gunn spoke with the Chairman and CEO of Invitrogen, Greg Lucier [1]. Mr. Lucier spent his time speaking out about the importance of public funding of science. Despite his position in a private company, he advocated that more public money needs to be spent […]

Less Easy, Being Green

A month ago, I mentioned that our car was broken into and a number of canvas shopping bags were stolen [1]. The reason we have them is the same reason people buy canvas shopping bags: we’re more and more tired of only having the choice of paper or plastic. Neither […]

The Value of the Rare

It’s been a while since I’ve jotted any thoughts on my research. Although I promised myself no physics after 5 pm on Friday’s, I figured **writing** about physics is maybe somewhat exempt from that pledge. Besides, I get thoughtful when it gets late. The Value of the RareI’ve spent the […]

Rediscovering your music collection

In the past few years, there has been a lot of fuss about music sharing. Something that I and my friends regularly engaged in during high school and college – making mix-tapes, in this case – became so easy with the advent of the web and p2p programs that suddenly […]

Netless

Last year, the sixth seal was broken and at&t rose from the ashes of the baby Bells, which in turn resulted from the sacrificial burning of AT&T. It’s in the Bible. I swear. Can’t find it? Try the Qu’ran. No? Keep looking. Anyway, a lot of people have laughed at […]
