In which I continue, unavoidably, to procrastinate...

My work and my preparations for my trip to New York continue to consume my waking hours, and this blog is unlikely to be back in full swing until the first week of July.

In lieu of a proper post, I offer instead this brief, not terribly deep, but still quite interesting article about junk science and misconceptions in Rachel Carson's landmark environmental tract "Silent Spring". Thought-provoking reading for politicians/enviros.
