Readers will have noticed that I tend to focus on the issues of real-world impact and applied relevance of drug abuse science on this blog. This focus on public health crops up in my discussions of career issues related to seeking funding for scientific endeavors from the National Institutes of Health. When I talk about science outreach and science communication, well, there I go again.
Well I happened to run across some guy taped criticizing this perspective:

AP calls it for Obama!
June 3, 2008
The AP is reporting that Barack Obama has clinched enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday after a grueling marathon, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.
It is a great day for our country and our world.
Blogrolling: Clashing Culture
June 3, 2008
Looking for a more meaty and even tempered discussion of the interaction of science with religion? Thomas Robey of Hope for Pandora and The Differential has launched a new group blog called Clashing Culture. Mike Haubrich of Tangled Up in Blue Guy has joined him and they are seeking new participants. The mission?
…a pilot blogging project where scientists and laymen, Christians and atheists can hold conversations about topics where science and religion converge. Sound like an interesting challenge? … My goal is to develop a venue where the authors respect one another but are comfortable laying out their full arguments and critiques.
Thomas jumps hard after the roll-out with a repost of his take on the scarlet A of the Out Campaign.
I like what Thomas has to say at Hope for Pandora and The Differential, so I expect I’ll find plenty of thoughtful blogging here as well.
