This is very cool. Carl Buell, better known by perhaps my favorite nickname of all time, Olduvai George (if you don't get the reference, do a google search on "Leakey" and all will be revealed), has finally gotten around to starting a blog. Carl has been a frequent commenter here at Dispatches. He is by profession an illustrator who does scientific drawings for books and magazines. Indeed, he did all of the illustrations for at least one book by Carl Zimmer and I'm pretty sure it's more than one. He's also a hell of a guy and it's about damn time he joined the blogosphere.
It suddenly occurs to me to wonder, though, whether he is related to Jon Buell, director of the Foundation for Thought and Ethics, and publisher of Of Pandas and People?

I have a whole pile of science-y book reviews on two of my older blogs, here and here. Both of those blogs have now been largely superseded by or merged into this one. So I'm going to be slowly moving the relevant reviews over here. I'll mostly be doing the posts one or two per weekend and I'll…
Jon Buell, the head of the Foundation for Thought and Ethics and publisher of the book Of Pandas and People (Pandas), has written a long essay criticizing Judge Jones' ruling in the Dover case. That's hardly a surprise, of course. The judge ruled against his position, how could he do anything but…
One of my healthier, but alas more expensive habits, is that I walk a mile or so several times a week to my neighborhood shopping area and visit one or another bookstore. I live in a college town, so my neighborhood shopping area has some of the best bookstores anywhere. Not just a university…
Thanks for kind words Ed. I'm glad the name brings you a smile.
