Ever since my very first pet fish (two swordtails and tiger barbs in a large jar&#8230; no they did not live long), I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of our finned friends. I admire the freedom that fish have as they [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=younglandis.wordpress.com&#038;blog=9508237&#038;post=2204&#038;subd=younglandis&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a workshop today on communicating science to government audiences, my colleague talked about the importance of avoiding technical measurements when talking to lay audiences. That is, avoiding sentences like &#8220;this needle is 50 microns in diameter&#8221; or &#8220;this fossil whale is 20 meters in length&#8221;. The measurement simply isn&#8217;t as amazing as you think it is, [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=younglandis.wordpress.com&#038;blog=9508237&#038;post=2197&#038;subd=younglandis&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Consider this recent interview by Stephen Colbert with Matthew Guerrieri, a classical music critic and contributor to the Boston Globe.
