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, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

Anonymous,
Since you are apparently stalking me across the whole of Science Blog, I am repeating my previous response to you here. I'm sure I speak for others when I say that gratuitous insults are a waste of bandwidth on this blog.
Identify yourself and say something substantial, or just go away.

Please take the time to discover my books, such as Astrobiology in the "Cool Science" series for middle grade readers, and Martian Fossils on Earth? The Story of Meteorite ALH84001, in which the title and every chapter heading are questions, before you accuse me of lacking creativity and not having an open mind.
You will find the same evidence of an open mind throughout Physics: Decade by Decade, and especially in the closing chapter.
After you have looked into my work, you will then be qualified to make comments. Bad reviews don't bother me as long as the reviewer has read my work. Uninformed, ad hominem attacks like yours, however, will not go without a response.
I put my name behind and stand by my work, and can cite evidence in doing so. Do you stand by the insults you are slinging behind the cloak of anonymity?
