Bad Astronomy, a Discover Magazine blog by astronomer Phil Plait that covers bad science and bad science journalism, unveiled a case of what he calls “dangerous” science reporting last weekend in a September 19th Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC AU News) report about H1N1 Flu vaccines.S

I hope this is just another step forward for us all. The world is bigger than it was in Dr. Sagan’s day, and it will take many folks to fill the badly needed role of “spokesmen of science”. I think I speak along with many of the readers of your work when I say we are proud to be fans and supporters. Keep moving forward!

Seriously. The value of this blog is its content; not the form, not the location. A new meteor discovery getting within eyesight of earth (or hitting it!), discovery of amino acids in the Martian ice, a non-natural radio signal at SETI, a protein folding breakthrough; THOSE are big news that warrant a pre-announcement and a half dozen “not yet, soon!” updates.

But that you changed your URL and now the blog is hard to read? Yeah, not so much.

OK, fanboys, go ahead and roast me now.

Looks good and all. I think I only have 2 beefs with it thus far: I don’t care for the font too much (which you’ve addressed), and I don’t know about other people and browsers, but I have no pixel buffer between the left hand side of the page and when the text starts. Needs at least 5 to 10 pixels of empty space. Letters and images beginning flush against the left hand side of my browser (Firefox) just… doesn’t look right.

Otherwise, congratulations on the move to Discover.

Love it love it love it.

Andyway, if you change it to somewhere else, put purple font over blue background, used childish font or anything else, I would continue reading.

Congrats Phil! You still have a loyal Mexican fan hehe.

“The folks at Discover were warm, friendly, and open to ideas on how to best make sure this move would go smoothly. ”

I wonder how much money they gave…

I would guess $180,000 per year.

Hmm with a percentage of add revs. off the page? 25% add revs.

A few people (or maybe one person in several places on the Web) have complained that Discover magazine has “gone downhill” as of late with respect to the quality of their reporting on scientific issues. I don’t know. I haven’t read Discover in years. But, here’s to you lending your scientific integrity to Discover. Maybe their outreach to the science writers such as yourself is a sign they are interested in maintaining their credibility. We’ll all be keeping an eye on them

PZ Meyers already let the cat out of the bag by posting a link to the main blog page of the Discover magazine site (and there you were), but cool none the less.

I just hope this stays the same old BABlog, now in orange and paying.

While I have a less than enthusiastic view of Discover magazine -
I used to call it Scientific American Lite, until SciAm became
rather “lite” itself – if you are happy with this arrangement
and are able to continue writing freely, then things should be
okay.

But do we have to look at that big DISCOVER logo every time?

And if you ever hear them say “Resistence is futile” – RUN!
