Joking about Science

2009 July 16

I regret the simple me-too-ism of just posting a link to an article, but this piece over at Project Syndicate is a nice, short reflection on how jokes scientists make (about their own profession) illuminate the two distinct views we hold of science (as relating to truth and utility).  Short, easy to read, and worth the time.

As an aside, doesn’t “Project Syndicate” sound like an effort to produce an open-source organized crime gang?  :)   Crime 2.0, baby!
