About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,

My child came home from school yesterday and told me that he had been chastized by his teacher for suggesting that "Global Warming" might be a hoax -- I had been watching the CBC Newsworld Global Warming Doomsday Called Off (April 2007) and he'd caught a bit of it and I guess relayed what he'd heard to his class only to be told that this was not true and that he must 'accept' Global Warming as a fact!
So nice to see the Ontario schools taking Science education so seriously :) What is really ironic is they had just completed a section on "Medieval Times" which, not surprisingly, failed to mention the Medieval Warming Period that takes out the IPCC's famous 'hockey stick' :)
