Tonight is First Wednesday. Tomorrow is the Oregon football game, starting the season. Fall is in the air.
I am reading a remarkable book: Unscientific America: how scientific illiteracy threatens our future. I've gone full circle with science & culture, from scientist as sexy hero in the Sputnik era when I began to train as one myself, to the anti-science agenda of the Bush administration. I agree with the authors that we are in deep doodoo. This is a very sensible book, spreading the blame and offering concrete strategies to get us back on track. I hope it gets a wide readership.
