Hello all- I have always been a science enthusiast in many topics. I once spent an entire summer college course in the Paleo Lab of Rancho Lebrean discoveries at the Page Museum Los Angeles co. Loved every minute of it. My background is in Air Traffic Control, Wx, aviation and automated transportation (positive control PTS) system development and roll out. I worked at the places many might refer to as "area 51", although I never heard them referred to by that when I was there. Retired Veteran. Special interests in weather, witnessed many weather and climatic related airplane and systems tests in special labs and airspace. Have seen many quite interesting things along the way.
I've read "science news" since it was a small weekly paper, and I hope the expanded reading and exposure of these sites can help broaden the space where people can get exposed to scientific thought and scientific reason and see what constitutes a "fact" and why it does so. (Through links). As well as provide an example of what a (scientific) debate over a set of facts looks like. Its ok to disagree.
