About
This blog is about science and science journalism: good, bad, and bogus. While most of the posts are about bad and bogus science and science writing, I try to find the time to reflect on good examples too.
I am a freelance science writer and I teach philosophy at the University of Sydney.
You can read more about the blog and me here.
