  3. CW: Political "Science"

    I just skimmed this article "10 #scientific #truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025"
    bigthink.com/starts-with-a-ban
    and I'm thinking that just because someone says a fact is "political" doesn't make it false. I'm also thinking that lack of #scienceliteracy is killing us. 1/

  4. A great example of what seems to be the ever worsening uphill battle for scientists, scientific skeptics, and folks just trying to appreciate the wonder of our natural (not supernatural) world. - Local free range sun? - youtu.be/bhkcLOSkTP0?si=iM-sFr #ScientificSkepticism #ScienceLiteracy #CriticalThinking #ScientificInquiry #SGU #SkepticsGuide #SkepticsGuideToTheUniverse

  9. One of my many alma maters is running a FREE course on science literacy: learning how to differentiate between science, pseudoscience, fake science, and fraudulent science – and to explain what makes pseudoscience both attractive and dangerous.

  10. Here is the cover for *From Typewriters to Twitter:Celebrating 50 Years of Science Writing* -- my pet project during the pandemic. (Pretty excited about this)

    This might be the only book that chronicles science writing/ #scicomm in #Canada A digital version is available for free to members of the SWCC (after you log onto the website a link should appear under About). Non-members should contact the association directly and ask (not sure if there's a small fee or if it's free too?). 92 pages, lots of historical photos, short bios of some extraordinary and often eccentric and high-profile writers who helped shaped Canada's science writing landscape. Controversies! Romance! Serious stuff! Fun stuff! The impactful awards program! This book had input from over 20 people who played various roles in the association. This isn't an in-depth analysis, but chronicles important events and an evolving media association. There are no plans at this point for a print copy, but if interested send a note to the SWCC office expressing interest.
