Obamas Science Czar John Holdren, the one who thinks we need to have population control, a global government and redistribution of wealth, worked for a magazine in 1984 that gave vital US intelligence that helped to the Soviets to help them build a nuke. And yet now this radical soviet sympathizer is in the White House.

Late in 2009 I got together with Richard Dawkins for a chat. Nice chap and some stimulating conversation.
Sorry about the poor audio. The leading reason were that I was primarily in Europe to do research, and when I left the US 2 months before this was not something that was seriously considered (I had VERY little AV kit with me) and that the discussion was all arranged on very short notice. Many thanks to umbulamidlun, smpaudio and stormfieldproduction for help with the audio, it was greatly appreciated.
Richard Dawkins is of course a big name in the defenders of science, publishing several best selling books and started a foundation that bears his name.

The foundation also has a youtube account.

It appears stem cell research is undergoing a peer review process problem much like the one identified in climate research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8490291.stm
Once again, it seems a small clique are trying to control what science is published and it’s disturbingly coincidental that the journal Nature is implicated (like climate science publications and peer review).
What is going on in science these days and how will this affect society?
Not really.
Stem cell research is carried out by a small group of specialists. It would be easy for them to go astray.
Climate research is carried out by thousands of scientists working on aspects of the science independently.
Scientists measuring temperatures are checked on by those measuring Arctic ice, oceanographers measuring sea level, biologists studying species migrations, etc.
It’s a vast interlocking web of data measured by completely different specialists, which makes it essentially self correcting. Not to mention impossible to "fake".
This is the reason why the vast majority of scientists agree. In scientific terms, climate research is ROBUST, very insensitive to errors in any one piece of it.

And fails miserably.
Edit: This video now has enough views for me to become a Youtube partner and make money off of it. So what do I say to that? I say phooey! I refuse to gain a monetary value from something like this.
Now with closed captions, allowing the deaf to see Youtube Poops, or simply for clarity.
Bugs has found himself in a strange situation: everything is going for him! Then, a doctor comes in and asks to give him an examination. Bugs thinks it’s a perfect time to get noice, but the doctor has other plans…
This Youtube Poop is chock full of Homestar Runner jokes. It is no coincidence that H*R has been greatly influenced by the wonderful gags produced at “Termite Terrace”.
Obscurities are always fun to use. Check out Bugs breakdancing to T. Grey, a techno rave-ish song from the obscure N64 game Tetrisphere.
By the way, this video does not reflect any political opinions whatsoever. The fun is all in good nature, so to speak.

This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project, Mag+,
initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on
handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for
digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners
at BERG.
The concept aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which
people have been enjoying for decades: an engaging and unique reading
experience in which high-quality writing and stunning imagery build up
immersive stories.
The concept uses the power of digital media to create a rich and
meaningful experience, while maintaining the relaxed and curated
features of printed magazines. It has been designed for a world in
which interactivity, abundant information and unlimited options could
be perceived as intrusive and overwhelming.
The purpose of publishing this concept video is first and foremost to
spark a discussion around the digital reading experience in general,
and digital reading platforms in particular. Thus, we would be more
than happy to hear what you have to say regarding the concept and
ideas expressed in the video: the magazine reading experience, digital
browsing, text versus images, as well as hear about your own digital
reading experiences and thoughts. We are all ears.
Follow the discussion in the Bonnier R&D Beta Lab: bonnier.com/en/content/digital-magazines-bonnier-mag-prototype
