Short Takes Tuesday
Sparkling Science Writing. Have you been following the recent science reporting by Claudia Dreifus? I have. I first looked at her conversations with scientists out of curiosity and affection – I had met Ms. Dreifus more years ago than I care to repeat, but have remained a reader because she’ll really good at explaining to science idiots like me what those people are doing and talking about. Tuesday’s conversation with DNA sequencer Elizabeth Blackburn is here. But don’t stop there. Her previous profile of yeast researcher Susan Lindquist looks both at women in science and yeast as research targets, but the best is her interview with my favorite sex researcher Pepper Schwartz
Keeping Poor People Down. When it comes to the poor, Mayor Bloomberg’s billionaire instinct for starvation wages and unaffordable housing comes through
