Check it out at Panda's Thumb.A lot of people put a great deal of work into the upgrade but the person who deserves the most praise is Reed Cartwright of De Rurum Natura (and Panda's Thumb). You can thank him by going to Upgrade Starts Today.
In case you didn't know. The unofficial mascot at the Panda's Thumb is Prof. Steve Steve. Isn't he a handsome fellow? I think he's a biochemist—or possibly a paleontologist. I always get them mixed up.
Reed Cartwright is the father of Prof. Steve Steve. He's also the father of Prof. Steve Steve and Prof. Steve Steve. They have left home to gallivant around the world but they can often be found in North Carolina or Oakland CA.There are quite a few bloggers on Panda's Thumb. I don't have a complete list but they include most of the leading lights in the fight against creationism in the USA. Some of them are adaptationists but don't let that deter you. It's good to hear what the other side has to say from time to time. (The adaptationists usually refer to the blog as Mt. Improbable. The unofficial mascot of the adaptationists is Prof. Dick Dick.

Hehe. Unfortunately, many paleos are adaptationists too... it has this ideologial gleam to it....
ReplyDeletePlus it's, you know, empirical.
ReplyDeleteIt's not widely known, but Prof Steve is a multiple PhD - in biochemistry, genetics, developmental biology, paleo, and of course in philosophy and history of science. Oh, and also information theory. He's been called the "Isaac Walton of Information theory" by his publishers.
