Russia’s Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute has confirmed that its drilling team has indeed penetrated to the sub-glacial Lake Vostok. Researchers have spent two decades drilling through over 3,700 metres of Antartic ice to reach the lake, which is believed to have been sealed off from the world for 15 million years. Although the drillers were expected to reach the lake this year, the team’s leader was still unable to confirm the success as recently as yesterday (‘‘Too soon’ to confirm suc...  show all text

Boisjoly was the engineer who boisterously warned about problems with the Challenger's elastic seals. That he couldn't do anything about the launch haunted him and turned him into a crusader for ethics in engineering. Boisjoly died at age 73.

However, I was specifically told by my chair that I need a Nature or Science paper to make my tenure packet bulletproof, so you shouldn’t underestimate the tenure argument.

Peer review.  It is a critical part of scientific research and scientific progress.  Without it, science as a field might look like Fox News Stories or postings on Jenny McCarthy's web site, where ideas people have are given gravitas regardless of how ludicrous they are.  But somehow, many in the public and press, and many many scientists alas, have deep misconceptions about peer review.
