		<description><![CDATA[The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) recently posted an article regarding the movement toward Open Science. The movement for sure has gained traction over the years as the debate about openness and scientific discoveries, especially research funded through government agencies that allocate tax payer dollars, escalates. Specifically, the movement is about opening [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=onthestage.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3796419&amp;post=412&amp;subd=onthestage&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In so doing, I often ask questions for which there is no ready answer. For example, scientists and journalists have common and accepted prejudices against each other that are well [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=onthestage.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3796419&amp;post=407&amp;subd=onthestage&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
