Junk Science and the Scientific Method

I recently ran across this website:
JunkScience.com, All the Junk That's Fit to Debunk

I highly recommend their short course. If you are looking for a good synopsis of the scientific method, they have a nice subsection on it.

Agree with the site or not, I do believe that too many people publishing articles have forgotten some of the basics discussed. It should be required reading for anyone doing research or writing about research.

Help from the craziest places

I am going to add a new line of posts (well, we will see how long I keep it up), that is one of technology I use. My thought is that when I find a cool technology that works in laryngeal research or in the technology I use in my work, I will post up a link.

My laptop, which is about 2 years old, recently had the left 'SHIFT' key start acting odd. It still works but it just doesn't pop up the same. As I use it a lot, it has become quite annoying. I tried the cleaning the keyboard technique of compressed air hoping it was just a piece of dirt or something but that didn't work. Anyway, I got on line and found this great site for fixing laptop keyboards:

specifically this next link which talks about repairing laptop keyboards:

That is it. Fix your own keyboard.
