Greetings Science Fans,

I hope that you are not feeling too bad about how this week is starting out. I fear that “Science” is going to be put to many tests and challenges in the next few years. I’m going to try and avoid politics and polemics here! But to do that exclusively would be to deny what for many of us is reality, that science is being denied and decisions are being made without evidence or reason, and also to deny the use of science to preserve or even improve and understand our amazing home planet and universe. There will be risks to be taken as we move forward. Who will be empowered to decide? 

Hello and Happy Random (?) Point in the journey around the Sun!

Greetings Science Fans and Practitioners,

Personally, I think we should all consider ourselves a "science practitioner". Have you ever noticed that the definition according to a search engine like Google doesn’t always agree with you? Given that, let’s think a bit about what sets someone who appreciates, practices, or supports science, apart from many who think science is for people in lab coats and has little to do with our lives.

Hello Fans of Science, Reason, and Critical Thinking,

Well a lot of soul searching has been going on around the country, if not the planet, since Tue night or Wed morning. I would only like to say that the most reliable source of information for making many decisions these days is SCIENCE and REASON. I hope that we can all rally to support it whenever the opportunity or necessity arises. If or when you reach out to any leaders in the community, local, national, or international, I hope that you will look to science, reason, and critical thinking. to inform all concerned. There is much work to be done and our support is essential. That includes gathering reliable information to inform ourselves in what we do and support.

Greetings fans of Science and Reason,

It is hard to accept that humans first walked on the moon 55 years ago today and that humans last walked on the moon about 50 years ago! Yet still, like the flat earthers there are a bunch of folks that think

Well here we are, not to far from summer now. It seems like there have been a lot of distractions in the past few months. Both good and bad depending on your perspective. Let’s acknowledge that

Greetings Science Appreciators, Critical Thinkers and Science and Reason based Skeptics,

The challenge of understanding the meaning, intent, and consequences of what we face these days is immense. I think we need to be able to have confidence in the validity of what you personally believe to make informed decisions that may have major consequences to each of us as well as to the community as a whole. So how do you know what to accept or believe?
