- At the Guardian's Political Science blog James Wilsdon (@JamesWilsdon) and I have a piece up responding to George Monbiot's over-the-top attack on newly appointed UK Chief Scientific Adviser Mark Walport. The conversation continues in the comments and on Twitter.
- At the Lowy Interpreter I provide a rejoinder to the last few defenders of the EU ETS. I suspect that its defenders will long outlast the program itself. My post is a response to a response to an earlier post of mine (got that?).
- Today I gave a talk on science advice to government at the UK ESRC Genomics Network Conference. The talk is summarized here and you can see a picture below.
- Over at The Least Thing, the best sports governance blog you'll find linked from here, I have a discussion of the newly released FIFA ISL report. If you think governance of science and technology has problems, then visit sports to feel much better!
- Later this week, or perhaps early next, look for my latest column in Bridges which focuses on some lessons of the Reinhart and Rogoff austerity debacle.
- Boulder has a winter storm warning up and a forecast of possibly the coldest temperatures ever recorded for May (!). And yet, despite record snowfall since April 1 approaching 5 feet (!), to the anger of BVSD students throughout the district, not a snow day yet in 2013;-)
