HiBlog is a place where operations staff can post live updates on HiRISE activities, news and events, discussion, information about the mission, their own jobs, and the wonderful images of Mars we’ll be getting. HiRISE is the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The spacecraft is currently orbiting Mars approximately 13 times an (Earth) day. The Primary Science Phase (the main “mapping” phase of the mission) officially starts on November 8, 2006, and lasts for two (Earth) years.

How does daily life impact how one conducts science? The following entries are written from the perspectives of researchers as they discuss life as a scientist, a parent, and even as professionals working outside their home country. Sponsored by the Science Advisory Board.

Regular postings based on fallacies covered in our book Humbug! (156 pages, 35 cartoons - see sidebar). Using a seamless combination of both passion and restraint, we expose erroneous thinking with irony, whimsy, sarcasm, satire, caricature, "distortature" and occasional breathtaking hypocrisy. Humbug! the book is a considered and carefully written commentary on fallacies. Humbug! the blog is less considered, more spontaneous and at times more outrageous. No poppy is too short to be lopped.

A science blog by Derek Lowe and hosted by Corante. Lowe, an Arkansan by birth, got his BA from Hendrix College and his PhD in organic chemistry from Duke before spending time in Germany on a Humboldt Fellowship on his post-doc. He's worked for several major pharmaceutical companies since 1989 on drug discovery projects against schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases.

This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Here are some thoughts from a postdoc working at the interface of synthetic chemistry and biology. His thoughts might include: chemistry, science, work, employment hunting, life in general, politics and very random musings.

While working on my thesis, my research became more and more focused on a single species (Japanese knotweed), and I was no longer keeping up with developments regarding other invasives. I started the ISW in April of 2002, with two goals in mind: 1) Find a way to keep up with current events and 2) Find a way to keep up with current internet trends. With a public record of my efforts, I have found that I am less likely to "slack off" and stop keeping an eye out for important invasive species issues. As of January 2004, the ISW has over 600 entries, covering a full range of topics, from legal issues, to early detection warnings, to the use of invasive species in marketable products. Please enjoy your visit, take a moment to catch up on current events, and use the search tool to find older posts about topics you are interested in.
