As a personal project Im trying to map out how academia and industry collaborate. It seems to me the de facto model is one in which academia either works on specific projects ...

• Hacking the Holiday, Academic Edition

  
  Bitch. Ph.D. — Authority: 514
  Like many of my academic cohort, I can be quite bad at managing my work. To the tun of being bad at quarantining work-free times/paces for myself. As is often noted, tis the nature of the academic job. Which is why I feel pleased to report that I have just had my first ever (well, since being in grad school) work-free ...

  Start Thinking Right — Authority: 475
  Liberals think that the title of Jonah Goldberg’s book Liberal Fascism is an oxymoron.  They’re wrong.  Goldberg himself writes: “For more than sixty years, liberals have insisted that the bacillus of fascism lies semi-dormant in the bloodstream of the political right.  And yet with the notable and ...

  Sybilla Oritur — Authority: 104
  I’ve found myself defending my respect for the faith of men like Descartes, Pascal, Newton and - most importantly - St. Francis of Assisi.

  Here is the current leaderboard for the ISTE conference keynote crowdsourcing project . Jeff Piontek has widened his lead a bit more over Chris Lehmann.

• USC 28, UCLA 7

  
  LA Observed — Authority: 660
  The Trojans dominated in a sloppy game by both sides, but what theyll be talking about for days (at least) is this: USC throwing a touchdown bomb one play after taking a knee to signify it was playing out the clock, followed by a demonstrative celebration on the USC sideline — then the entire Bruins team swarmed ...

  Chicago Boyz — Authority: 649
  The real shocking revelation in the Climategate incident isn’t the emails that show influential scientist possibly engaging in the disruption of the scientific process and possibly even committing legal fraud.

  Chicago Boyz — Authority: 649
  Recent revelations that the peer review system in climatology might have been compromised by the biases of corrupt reviewers misses a much greater problem.

• Plagiarising Myself. Not.

  
  UBIWAR — Authority: 432
  I’m all for cracking down on plagiarism in academia. I don’t like it. It’s dishonest and, if intent can be proved, then the offender should be pitched out on their ear at the first opportunity. I support the various electronic means for ensuring that student papers are original but they can throw up some ...

• He’s Got a Point

  
  Let Freedom Ring — Authority: 139
  It isn’t often that I agree with Eugene Robinson but this time, I agree with him. His column E-mails Don’t Prove Warming is a Fraud is actually right, though not for the reasons he says. Stop hyperventilating, all you climate change deniers. The purloined e-mail correspondence published by skeptics last ...

• Climate Science and the Inner Ring

  
  Chicago Boyz — Authority: 649
  It now seems clear that many climate scientists have shown a most unscientific lack of interest in following the data wherever that data may lead, coupled with an unwholesome eagerness to disregard and to disrespect the opinions of anyone outside of a closed circle of “experts.” In comments on a NYT blog ...
