The legacy of Andrew Wakefield continues [Respectful Insolence]

Why Global Warming’s Effects Will Be Worse Than You Were Thinking [Greg Laden's Blog]

Reading Diary: The Golden Ticket: P, NP, and the Search for the Impossible by Lance Fortnow [Confessions of a Science Librarian]

Someone shoot me if I ever use the term NP-complete in a sentence.
