Another Light Day Here, Not So Much Elsewhere
Posted on April 9th, 2008 by blue collar scientistYesterday’s science fair judging was a great success and huge fun, and today I’m paying the price. I simply must get some other things done to catch up for the full day I took off to volunteer in the local schools.
Consequently, there will be no provocative rants on yet another measles outbreak, this one in Milwaukee (and not the result of antivaccination nonsense - but remember, this is still a good illustration of the antivaccinationists’ vision for America and the world); or any discussion of Mike’s great post about yet more uses of evolutionary theory in medicine, which will surely be useful for good old-fashioned PR; and I’ll say nothing about how Fox News panned Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed in a review that apparently came out late yesterday.
I will also have nothing to say about the Expelled informercial that was apparently recorded by my TIVO and is sitting in the Now Playing list as wee speak, unwatched, due to lack of, what is it called… oh yeah: time.
Instead, you will have to sit around wondering when the BCS is going to get off his backside and post something interesting to the blog. But do please stay tuned - I promise some video of the BCS in action soon, and of course Iatra Polygenos will be posting her second column tomorrow (I think).
Quick edit to add: Striking rather close to home, someone with an active measles infection apparently went walking around SeaTac airport while connecting for a flight two weeks ago. SeaTac is the main hub and connection point for flights out of Anchorage.
