Just to remind everyone. This is the original site of the blog, A Man With A PhD, written by Richard Gayle. I started this back in 2002. I've had a couple of breaks in there but I now published 3 other blogs on various topics.
I've been blogging or its equivalent since 1997. One of my earlier blogs was voted third best medical blog by Forbes in 2003. So I have been at this for a while and am currently working to increase my readership. Please follow what is happening at my other blogs.

Can the Texas BoE walk and deny evolution at the same time?:
[Via Bad Astronomy]
What does it say about your Board of Education when ad executives for a chewing gum company understand evolution better than you do?
... or a beer company, for that matter. Of course, that's a European beer... and evidently beer was invented before the Universe itself was.
Tip o' bacterium's flagellum to ...
[More] What makes this so ironic is that, while it is true that the ads display an understanding of evolution that is Promethean compared to the Texas BoE, they still display some misunderstandings of the pace and character of evolution.

Alan Goes to Town Hall:
[Via The Daily Score blog - Sightline Daily]
On Wednesday Sightline's fearless leader Alan Durning will be speaking at Seattle Town Hall with the CEO of Cascadia Region Green Building Council, Jason McLennan. The title of the seminar is "Exploring energy and design: smart solutions for the built environment." Here's a blurb:
As the prospect of global economic crisis hits home, there is hope. The work being done to combat climate change through smart community design, green building and energy research gives communities the opportunity to respond to economic crisis with common sense solutions. This seminar will highlight work being done right here in our backyard, and explain what needs to be done in the future to ensure the sustainability of our region.

The Most Compelling Leadership Vision:
[Via HarvardBusiness.org]
A distinguished woman rose to speak in the front of a room of 40 fellow employees during a Total Leadership workshop I was conducting earlier this week at a large pharmaceutical company's headquarters.
"Joyous laughter [~] this is the sound I hear throughout the home I have built and now maintain for mentally ill women in Puerto Rico. They are surrounded by people who love and care for them. They are enjoying life."
Juana, let's call her, was telling the brief (one-minute) story of her personal leadership vision; a description of the impact you're having on your world and the legacy you're creating 15 years from now. When Juana sat down, one of her close colleagues said, "I've known you so long yet I never knew about this part of who you are. Wow!" I couldn't help but ask Juana how I could support her pursuit of her vision. All of us were moved, and felt inclined to contribute. People will not follow a leader if it is only to the leader's benefit. We are social animals, using networks of interactions for live our lives. The most invigorating visions are those that lead people to a better place. Not to one that simply makes the leader wealthy.
