Busy week ahead

Posted on October 7, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I should probably start by apologising. This may be a bit of a rant. I’ve also got quite a busy week ahead, so probably won’t post much in the immediate future (although I have said that before). I’m teaching at … Continue reading →

Moderation

Posted on September 21, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I thought I would write a brief post about this site’s moderation policy, or lack thereof. As I may have said before, starting this blog was all a rather spur of the moment decision and I didn’t really know what … Continue reading →

Learning from my mistakes

Posted on September 13, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I wasn’t sure whether or not to post the following. It comes across as a little whiny and pathetic, but I’ve been a little busy this week so haven’t really had a chance to do much else. Also, there were … Continue reading →

Roger Pielke Sr and Douglass & Knox

Posted on August 14, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I had a brief Twitter exchange with Roger Pielke Sr. yesterday. I had commented that I thought the AGU position statement on human-induced climate change was very good, and he wanted to know what was wrong with his alternative. Well, … Continue reading →

Andrew Dessler on decision making

Posted on August 14, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I thought I would post this video of Andrew Dessler discussing decision making. I think it’s very good, but others have – of course – disagreed. He uses an analogy in which 97% of mechanics say a plane is fine, … Continue reading →

The Deficit model vs the Asset model

Posted on August 4, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I had an interesting discussion on Twitter today with Brigitte Nerlich about the Deficit model and the Asset model of science communication. To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what these terms meant when I first starting discussing them, so … Continue reading →

Science and policy

Posted on August 1, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

Tamsin Edwards wrote an article for the Guardian yesterday called Climate scientists must not advocate particular policies. After reading the article, I largely agreed and wrote the first comment. My main issue with the article was the idea that scientists … Continue reading →

Richard Tol and the 97% consensus

Posted on July 26, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

I said in my earlier post that I might write about Richard Tol’s publicly stated views on John Cook’s 97% consensus paper. Since then, however, I’ve had a rather frustrating Twitter discussion with Richard Tol that, sadly, ended quite sourly … Continue reading →

Andrew Neil and Ed Davey

Posted on July 16, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

Unfortunately my holiday cottage has Wi-Fi, so I haven’t been able to completely ignore what’s been going on in the outside world. I can’t quite resist, therefore, commenting on Andrew Neil’s interview with Ed Davey. Andrew Neil is the host … Continue reading →

On holiday

Posted on July 12, 2013 by ...and Then There's Physics

Tomorrow, I’m off on for a week’s holiday with the family and with some family friends and will probably not have much internet access. I suspect that I will not be writing any posts, responding to comments, or approving any … Continue reading →
