Homely Scientist

I’m still in Boston … coming home soon … I was at Harvard Square yesterday though, no time for the museum .  But … the Tangled Web science blog carnival picked my favourite school science experiment post I submitted for this week’s edition.

I love the theme of this one … science bloggers as the Jedi and Rebel Forces fighting the Dark Side of psuedoscience, bad science, and corporately controlled science.  Making us the bastions of truth, openness and "real" science.  Yahoo!  Love it.  And exactly what I’m after here.

I’ve been meaning to blog more about the call for more science (environmental science especially) bloggers by NatGeo, with the similar/same call from Science.  Homely Scientist commenter river2sea72 has the article on her blog in its full glory.

There truly is a lot of misinformation, misleading information, and honest misunderstanding about science, Global Warming, etc in the larger world, I think part of our debt to society as science folks is to help spread the word about good science, fun science, and ask serious questions about questionable or controversial results.

So … let’s hear it again for the science bloggers!
