The oversized "night light" across the river from where I was staying. I just made it back from NYC and I had a great time. It was wonderful meeting so many new people and catching up with writers I hadn't seen since the January conference, and my only regret is that I had to miss a few of last ... (original story)

more cat pictures This afternoon I'll be hanging out with the NYC Skeptics and ScienceBlogs fans in New York but I know that many of you (for obvious reasons) can't be there. In lieu of a meet-up in meatspace, then, why not introduce yourself here? Each blog is a little community unto itself, and... (original story)

Snow leopards (Panthera uncia), photographed at the Bronx zoo on July 23, 2008. For those of you who know more about photography than I do, I have a question. I've been shooting in the raw NEF format and many of my photographs have come out looking very vibrant. When I convert the image to... (original story)

Was Charles Darwin a genius? He certainly was extremely bright, but if we are to call him a genius on the basis of coming up with the theory of evolution by natural selection then we must recognize the genius of A.R. Wallace (and perhaps William Wells, Patrick Matthew, and Edward Blyth), as well. Al... (original story)

Thanks to those who offered suggestions about what books to pick up. I didn't choose any of the suggested titles (sorry!) but I was able to find cheap used copies of some that I've been meaning to pick up for quite some time; Elephants: A Short Account of Their Natural History, Evolution, and Influ...

Hadrosaurs are often called the "cows of the Cretaceous." They were common, had few defenses compared to their armored ornithischian kin, and were a favorite prey for predatory dinosaurs. Natural selection appears to have applied sufficient pressure for at least one genus of hadrosaur, Hypacrosauru... (original story)

I didn't get a chance to see last night's Jurassic Fight Club (you can see my thoughts on the first episode here) but someone has put the "main event" up on the web. I don't know whether to laugh or cry; I know I promised to try to be more even-handed in reviewing science media but there are som... (original story)

I won't make excuses; I left The Boneyard in disrepair for too long. Now I'm bringing it back, and even though there are a few minor changes (it will now be on the first Tuesday of every month) I'm hoping that I will be able to keep it consistently running from here on out. Since we have already pa... (original story)

A praying mantis, photographed this past weekend in central NJ. I do not know the genus and species, however, so if anyone has a clue feel free to speak up in the comments (I would just look through the genus and species listing but it is far too large).

Anyone who keeps domesticated felids knows what it's like to be awakened in the middle of the night by a paw to the face or small feet running over the bed, but Jacquie and Mack Anderson were surprised to find a much larger cat in their house. According to an AP report they had left the french do... (original story)

Popularizers of science are faced with a daunting problem when it comes to communicating their enthusiasm for nature; their audience doesn't speak the same language. I don't mean this to say that scientists are inherently poor communicators or all deliver jargon-packed lectures that extinguish inter... (original story)
