This past weekend I accidentally startled a white-tailed deer fawn (Odocoileus virginianus) that was resting in some tall grass. I was able to snap a few shots before it ran off into the woods (I think the third one is the most impressive). I also found a femur and part of the hip of a smal... (original story)

Last week I wrote about how Rutgers university engaged in some secret dealings to retain head football coach Greg Schiano and some poor decisions that put the financial stability of the institution at risk by dumping over 100 million dollars into the football program. Investigations have been promis... (original story)
Who needs history? [I do!]

If I believed what my high school teachers taught me, from them I received the distilled wisdom of the ages. The knowledge was compartmentalized and packaged; there was no need for history in science class, at least outside of snarky little asides like how foolish Lamarck must have been to think evo...

It was a pretty interesting show, outlining a number of competing technologies that may (or may not) ... (original story)

I'm a bit ambivalent about what I wrote yesterday. On the one hand I'm glad I finally got down to covering early tetrapods and think I came up with a pretty good foundation for the chapter (I wrote ~6 pages).

In the Jurassic you had Allosaurus going after "Brontosaurus" and Ceratosaurus trying to take a bite out of Stegosaurus, and the epic battles between Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops were the "main event" of the Cretaceous. As I sunk dee... (original story)
