Far North Science Blog Added

The advancement of science and the public sharing and vetting of scientific information are progressive values. The restriction of scientific information, the privatization of and limited access to scientific research, the suppression of climate change information and attempts to foist Lysenkoesque models like Intelligent Design and so-called scientific creationism on all of us are faux conservative values.

Nothing makes Judy and me happier than that our daughter will soon graduate from the Huxley School at Western Washington University with a degree in Environmental Science, or that our son has decided to transfer from UAA to Humboldt State College in California, to study Oceanography.

Through following the links to articles at Alaska Report by Doug O'Harra, I've discovered the science blog, Far North Science. It is a collective effort. Most of the articles apply to our Alaska environment, and often, to rapid changes occurring here, due to climate change.

I've added Far North Science to the Progressive Alaska Blogs category here, which continues to grow.
