Linking is so much easier than writing
Well, while I've been slack for the last couple of weeks there has been plenty of good stuff written around the web.
First of DarkSyd of Unscrewing the Inscrutable has provided a very eloquent 6 part series on human evolution. The story starts here is followed up in parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The editors of Scientific American maintain an entertaining and interesting blog This week they took exception to following literary description of the SCiAm staff (It seems the author missed out their massive glasses and complete lack of physical condition):
While the journalists from Scientific American tended to wear tweed sport jackets with pocket protectors and were crowded into one corner of the room discussing photons
PZ Myers took some time out to describe the real tragedy of the fame Kansas has recently gained for its anti-evolutionary movement. This is as good an example of the sense of wonder and joy that science can provide as I can think of.
And if that's not enough reading for you there's a whole new Tangled Bank just chock full of great posts
