What He Said

John Wilkins has managed to shake off his bevy of admiring science blogging groupies long enough to write a post on scientists as historians. I’ll read it later, but now I should be listening to Bill talking about spatial synchrony in extinctions. Anyway, These matters were kicked around a few weeks ago, and naturally I added my ha’peth worth then. John seems to be arguing that scientists are bad historians, which was one of the points I was stumbling towards.
Anyway, go and read, and can you report back, please.
