If you're not feeling dumb, there is a lot of substance out there today as well. I haven't read all of these, but I hope to.
How reporters mangle science on Gulf oil. (And many other things, I might add!)
Skip peer review, just publish science like we bloggers do. I have some reservations about this, but peer review definitely has some problems. Some other thoughts.
