Jurassic Park: Helpful or Harmful?
Posted from Laelaps 9 days ago
Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
I haven't had much time to sit down and watch any movies lately, but this past weekend I did make a little time to watch at least some of the Jurassic Park films. There's a lot I could complain about in each installment, but I have to admit that it's nice to just sit down and watch what almost lo... (original story)

I typically don't pay attention to Dinesh D'Souza. As far as I can tell he is little more than a pundit, someone who manages to write books so full of various orders of fallacies that my head would probably explode if I tried to read any of his titles cover-to-cover (in fact, such a tragedy nearly b...

Jurassic Fight Club Full Episodes

Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
Say what you like about the new History Channel series Jurassic Fight Club, but I have to give the network credit for putting up the full episodes for free viewing. Sure, you have to wait a few weeks, but at least you don't have to worry about missing it. From what I heard this week's installment ... (original story)

At this point it is clear that I am not going to finish the whale chapter by the end of the weekend. Had I only the information previously at my disposal, the books and articles cluttering the apartment and my hard drive, I might have succeeded, but a boon of new information has caused me to go back...

S.J. Gould and Donald Johanson on Charlie Rose
Posted from Laelaps 11 days ago
Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
I'm hard at work on my book today (I intend to finish the chapter on whales by the end of the weekend) but I won't leave you hanging. Here's a Charlie Rose episode from 1994 featuring both Stephen Jay Gould (starting at the 29:10 mark) and Donald Johanson (starting at 45:25, with a rather unfortunat... (original story)

Bigfoot plays 'possum
Posted from Laelaps 12 days ago
Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
Remember that freezer chock full o' Bigfoot I mentioned yesterday? Well today the men who claim to have found the body of the sought after mythical beast held a press conference in which the results from the first round of DNA testing were presented. Of the three samples tested one came back inconcl... (original story)
Keeping at it

Olivia Judson has a short column in the opinion section of the New York Times about the importance of teaching evolution in public schools. Like Judson, I am frustrated that evolution is often taught as a distinct biological phenomena at the end of the year, hardly presented as the concept that make... (original story)

Leave it to Faux (oops, I mean FOX) News to be the first to get on the cryptozoological bandwagon. According to the media outlet the body of Bigfoot has been revealed and is awaiting a battery of tests to confirm it's authenticity. It looks like a hoax to me, but here's the credulous "news" coverage... (original story)
Another so-so evolution documentary

Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
Now this is pretty damn cool. Peter McGrath of the Beagle Project Blog liveblogged the airing of the 2nd episode of Richard Dawkins' The Genius of Charles Darwin (I posted a few thoughts last week here). Michael Barton and Richard Carter show up, too, and it's definitely some interesting commentary ... (original story)
Defining scientists
Posted from Laelaps 13 days ago
Dinosaurs! : Dinosaurs
I never quite know what to say when people call me a scientist. I take it as a compliment, certainly, but I'm usually unsure as to whether I can apply the word to myself or not. Is a scientist defined by their journey through the academic meat grinder? By expert knowledge? By skeptical thought? The ... (original story)
