New York Translation Workers Define Science
jenpatrck

  New York Translation Workers Define Science New York City Translation, NYC Translator, English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, InterpreterWhat is science? To New York Translation workers, it is nothing more than the isolation of facts that have been gathered through observations and experiments. Recently, teams of translators at leading New York research institutions met to discuss the meaning of science. What they came up with is that science is a discipline that allows the world to be more predictable and more easily understood. To expand on on their simple definition, the translation workers defined the scientific method as a process of questioning, observing and developing explanations. The New York translators also said that science doesn't have to be about research grants or result in articles but it needs to rely on the scientific method. As such, science is a systematic way of learning about the universe.

Is Keith Briffa The Climategate Whistleblower?
merrie
by merrie  12-13-2009    1
 I am of the opinion Climategate is the result of someone deep in the inner circle of the climate movement who decided to take a stand against the lies and deceptions. Someone who looked at the corruption of data and the suborning of the scientific method and decided they could no longer go along with ‘hockey team’ (as the crew at the epicenter of this scandal are known). Someone who had to turn in their colleagues, but couldn’t do it out in the open. I originally thought Keith Briffa was one of the top masterminds of the alarmist mythology, a mythology built up by a core of zealots who believed so hard in their AGW hypothesis that they ended up doing whatever it took to make the data show what they wanted to see. Because Briffa’s Yamal series, with its magically selected set of trees, was the only data series to survive the destruction of Micheal Mann’s fictional hockey stick graphs I assumed Briffa was a willing and active force in the charade of AGW.

An Inconvenient Truth: "cherry-picked" Data
clip-on-tie

 "One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them." -- Thomas Sowell Protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, exchanges about "the trick of adding in the real temps to each series…to hid the decline (in temperature)," is way egregious. Professor Phil Jones, head of the Climate Research Unit and professor Michael E. Mann at Penn State are now tap dancing. Mann, in an effort to defend the indefensible, told the New York Times, "scientists often use the word ‘trick’ to refer to a good way to solve a problem ‘and not something secret.’ Yeah…right! This scandal is scientific fraud of epic proportions. Conspiracy Collusion Illegal destruction of embarrassing data Organized resistance to disclosure Manipulation of data Private acknowledgment of flaws Sick.

ClimateGate: A Criminal Offense (or two)
merrie
by merrie  11-25-2009    4
 Jones, Briffa and Mann should be prosecuted as a warning to others who would pervert science as a method to promote a political agenda. However, there is little probability that the Crown Prosecution Service will charge the alleged miscreants. It is more likely that they will be awarded Knighthoods. And those like Monbiot who colluded in all of this will say, “We did not know”. Monbiot has repeatedly vilified those of us who have been championing the cause of science against the unfounded climate scare. He is not alone in such behaviour. Climate realists and our work have been vilified and smeared. Entire web sites have been established to tell lies about us. Publication of our scientific work has been inhibited, and personal attacks have been the norm: JoNova http://bit.ly/8MvOMq

And Yet It Cools

 ..... to where the scientific orthodoxy is running Star Chambers, branding rivals as heretics, trying like Urban VIII to put a thumb on publishing scales, and basically sticking its head in the sand. No little irony, BTW, that the other big news in orthodoxy debunkment yesterday was that Galileo’s fingers had been located and will go on display. Unclear whether those digits are the ones he flipped at the pope, though without doubt among those the pope twisted. Yeah, I can believe it. They’re all only human after all. The problem now, which Galileo would entirely get, is how to get not only the establishment scientists but the pols to catch up with the science. Quick, before they re-engineer our economy back into the middle ages with that bizarre scheme of double-reverse robber baronry they’re working on. forward movement ...

Lawsuit Over Research Monkeys Mistreatment
dmoonme1
by dmoonme1  9-19-2009   
 The same old story. "Yes you did". "No I didn't". As a scientist in research myself (Bio-Chem), I know all too well what goes on in those labs, And I am glad to see someone is investigating these horrific atrocities committed upon these innocent creatures in the name of scientific research. There is nothing scientific about it. It is just maiming and torture under the disguise of surgery. I find this sort of thing absolutely disgusting. There is a related story on the same page. Click on the link to view that and the accompanying video. I think what irritated me in the first place was that this is going on in my home town, and is related to my line of work. These methods are becoming more antiquated as we progress further into the 21st century.

How to Escape Perfectionism
splendidus
by splendidus  9-9-2009   
 "To the chagrin of those of you who regard yourselves as perfectionists, you simply exhibit perfectionistic tendencies in an unrealistic attempt to achieve what in the majority of cases cannot be achieved to begin with." I guess, that's why we never actually "attempt", because we know/sense it's impossible... That doesn't keep us from wanting to achieve... It's frustrating eventually...

CSI Myths: The Shaky Science Behind Forensics
sincitykitty

 It will take years to fully reconcile the rigors of the scientific method with the needs and processes of the judicial system. But in the meantime, questionable forensic science will continue to tip the scales of justice. And when bad decisions are made in the courtroom, an innocent person’s entire life can be swept right out from under him.
