Oh so true….
Yeah …
There are a number of good science reporters out there … but this pretty much nails it. The problem with science journalism is that often, science journalists have nothing to do with it. It’s some beat reporter who hasn’t taken biology since 11th grade who has to drop off 800 words to the editor in three hours. So they re-write a press release and slap a flashy headline on it.
Or they post something from Science Daily, which is not a news site, but rather a press release posting site. If you need suggestions on where to get good science news, check out my links page.
Don’t miss PHD Comics’ take on the science news cycle, and my post about “how to read a science news article”.
Here’s the thing. I obviously want to focus more time and effort on getting a DISTINCTION for my H3 and GOLD for my olympiads rather than waste my precious time on a fucked up cca that doesn’t appreciate or recognise any of my contributions. So yeah there you have it. Choose a fucker as vp and i’ll give you hell for a year, because (DUHHH) it’s more likely for me to excel in my other endeavours than the cca doing well in syf. Well, cos the conductor is so screwed up.

My ultimate goal this year is to publish a respectable paper in a renown journal like Elsevier :D Yay I love my H3 NAV research project :)
