Another heated journal club

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them. Sir William Bragg (1862 - 1942)
There are so many opinions and not enough facts, I'm already concluding about "science." However, the whole process is teaching me to look at things differently. Not just at what is wrong with something, but what is right about it. There may be nuggets in everything we see even if it looks like dirt! But I think we all need to remember what we are really doing and ask ourselves, is the answer I get from the question I ask really what I wanted to know?

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

I'm starting to wonder...what did they teach you during your masters degree? It doesn't sound like you took anything like the "philosophy of science" course that I had to take, and judging from an earlier post you didn't get to teach undergrads? Glad I got out of Utah when I did!

Sounds like you are having an awesome time there. I'm thinking of applying for a job in Boston =)
