Oil Spill Photos

I keep hoping this oil spill is going to go away before I can write a proper post about it...

Unfortunately that looks unlikely to happen. In case you were doubting the scope of the spill, this article from Boston.com shows you some pretty dramatic images from the incident.

(Soon I’ll post for real about the science/failure behind the clean-up efforts).

(All images from this post are from this article.)

The Facts in the Case of Dr. Andrew Wakefield

I could sit here and tell you about Dr. Andrew Wakefield (the man most famously responsible for all this “vaccines cause autism” nonsense). But why would I when this webcomic by Darryl Cunningham can do it in a much more amusing way?

Please, read, peruse, enjoy, and be amazed at the startling lack of ethics and pile of unsubstantiated crap that caused a world wide crisis…

So there you have it. I hope that you learned at least a little something.

(On his blog page Darryl asks you for a small donation so that he “can buy more pencils.” Feel free to click on over there and check out his other work. )
