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. Meantime, please take a minute to read our
Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.
I also agree that a classification of the article as humor would have help. I happen to read the comments before I read the story, so I knew it was a fake.
You make a great point though - this site is NOT A RESOURCE! This site is a gateway to resources - citing many other websites and publications. In addition, this site is aptly named a "blog" which I should think entitles it to some amount of personal opinion...
So, the lesson here? Check your resources! Just 'cuz scienceblog says it is true doesn't make it so.
