The Dish: Sampling the Blogs
A quick look at some of the policy-related posts in the science and technology blogosphere from the end of last week:
Jonah Lehrer at the Frontal Cortex argues that we need more science critics and an open public atmosphere for critiquing science. His suggestion to science bloggers: Don’t post anonymously.
Eric Berger over at SciGuy discovered that the Federal government spends 200 times more on bioterrorism preparedness than on hurricane research. This discrepancy is even more significant, he suggests, because bioterrorism might happen while hurricane disasters will happen.
Jacob Goldstein at the Wall Street Journal Health blog covers several stories on the growing number of parents refusing to vaccinate their children over fears that the injections may be linked to autism or neurological disorders, despite the fact that no solid evidence exists suggesting vaccines pose any such danger.
The Chronicle’s Wired Campus covered the news that Intel and Microsoft have teamed to open research centers at top universities to enlist them in a new initiative to harness the power of parallel computing for the next generation of computing systems. It’s worth noting the long-haul five-year commitment to the research.
