Street Smarts Marketing & Promotions, saying, “Often those who attribute someone’s success to luck are those who may not be willing to look deeper to see what went into laying a foundation that keeps revenues coming in for so many of us who do have sustainable businesses.

Living the Scientific Life, saying, “Embargoes do not serve the best interests of science or scientists because they deny access to embargoed literature to those people — science blog writers — who are most likely to invest the greatest amount of time and energy into writing the story accurately and in an engaging way for the public. Since a fair number of science blog writers are scientists themselves, they have the knowledge to present these stories to the public and they also have a vested interest in making sure the science is being reported clearly and accurately. Even if embargoes are a necessary evil — and I remain unconvinced that they are — how they’re applied and dealt with is certainly not uniform, and pretending otherwise is just plain disingenuous.”
