For another project, I ended up with a bookmark list of blogs addressing the current Nesbit and Mooney inspired discussion of Framing Science.
The posts I’ve written on the topic are in the side bar to the right –>
Since I had this bookmark list anyway, I thought I’d post it for others to use. If you are going to cut and paste this, beware of the HTML … it’s a bit messy.
