PZ Myers on Strike? Nooo!
Yep, the rumors on Twitter are true, PZ Myers is on strike! Science Blogs and Seed Media Group surely are making a huge mistake with this Pepsi ad…err I mean sponsored blog. It’s come to this. We’ve been facing a steady erosion of talent here at Scienceblogs, with the loss of good people like Carl Zimmer and Ed Yong a while back, and with the very abrupt departure of 15 bloggers after the recent PepsiCo debacle — an event that damaged the reputation of this place. And now...
Read MoreWater pipes banned for Gaza Women by Hamas
I’m not whole-heartedly surprised in this one but, nonetheless, its still offensive and unfair.

As many of you may or may not know, I will be attending TAM8. Since the upcoming convention will be at South Point and we are now Vegas locals, my hubby and I visited the hotel today to check it out ahead of time.
