Science and Government
Okay… It’s a little bit of a deviation from the normal type of post that I do, but I couldn’t remain silent. Recently, my Facebook and Twitter feeds blew up with people objecting to political involvement in science. I was in the dark as to what was really going on. I had posted on my Facebook page the following message: My Facebook and Twitter feeds are currently blowing up about something the Trump has done with regards to #science, and I have no idea what has happened. The feeds are suggesting tighter regulations for scientific research, cutting funding to particular areas, but I can’t seem to find details or facts […]
Global Warming — Fake Science or Real?
The latest episode of Conversations in Science has now aired on KLRNRadio. It was a requested topic and given the current escalation of the news about climate change and global warming, I can understand why.

To my surprise, the station owners of KLRNRadio were happy to support the idea and have given me their full backing. So here we go…

The Great Star Trek Vs Star Wars Debate
It was incredibly important that I finish out the year in style and the release of Rogue One in cinemas provided me with the perfect opportunity that I couldn’t resist. So those of us at KLRNRadio just had to debate the merits of Star Wars and Star Trek on live radio. Star Wars vs Star Trek (First aired live on KLRNRadio, Saturday, December 17, 2016) It was great to have one of the station owners take part. Rick Robinson, also the host of America Off the Rails, is quite an active debater, but I can guarantee that he didn’t expect to come up against me. However, I have to admit […]
