Respectful Insolence is a running compendium of science and history (and more!) written by one of my favorite online writers, Orak. Orak is the nom de plume of the resident insolence hurler, a research oncologist who writes on sketchy medicine, holocaust denial, Dr. Who, and a host of science topics all with a careful spattering of snarky wit and reasoned skepticism. I’ve slowly increased my blogroll to encompass as many topics as possible (for ideas as well as knowledge), but I also owe Respectful Insolence a more personal shout-out since it was one of my early inspirations to become a ‘blog writer,’ if I indeed have any claim to that title. It’s well worth reading.
For an example of a relatively recent, science-oriented article that I particular enjoyed: Drug Testing!
