Via @Laelaps , BoraZ, and others, i add my wtf? to this: http://nyti.ms/dvP4hH Is Heffernan just trolling science communicators?

I have just discovered that there is a journal entitled "Psychology of Men and Masculinity." Seems a tad specialized.

I wonder if the fact that I've spent time learning something about supersymmetry guarantees the LHC finds evidence of string theory instead.

David Dobbs, who all of you should be following, is apparently now at @_DavidDobbs_ , thanks to a personal Twitter fail.

Wrote up the last of the material from #lnlm10 that's going in to stand-alone coverage. Next up: transition to the LHC via supersymmetry.

Dug up our original coverage of the Louisiana Science Education Act: http://tinyurl.com/b6aq9e Considering it was '08, things could be worse

Exactly the worst-case situation many of us predicted when Jindal signed the Louisiana education law: http://tinyurl.com/25eaqg9

Just got a go ahead to lay out a semi-official Ars take on coverage of arXiv material.

Is anyone else getting disturbed about the increasing amount of science news coverage based on non-peer-reviewed stuff in the arXiv?

Did a story in scientists informally policing sloppy research. Antivaxers and climate denialists hate it. What a surprise...

I seem to have gone through all the stages of grief about my heart issue, since i just went out and accepted (read: bought) 2lbs. of decaf.

Got a good start on my Sunday science oddities column, but now it's off to NJ for a family gathering.

Should i be disturbed that i find quantum mechanics to be a welcome relief from the mental strain of astrophysics?
j_timmer
Some days, it's a real struggle to pretend you know astrophysics.

Got a partial answer on my heart: a few atrial fibrillations. Doesn't explain all symptoms, so time for a stress test and longer monitoring.

From the Ars forums: "The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent," in reference to markets solving resource depletion

Struggling to come to grips with supersymmetry. It would probably be easier if it were a single entity, but it's not.
