In a paper I published last year along with several Skeptical Science colleagues and oceanography expert John Church (who edited a new book that John Abraham reviewed last week), we examined the warming of the entire global climate (oceans, atmosphere, land, and ice).
In May 2013, my Skeptical Science colleagues and I published a paper showing that of peer-reviewed climate publications over the past 20 years that take a position on the cause of global warming, 97percentt agree that humans are responsible.
My Princeton political science colleagues Nolan McCarty and Howard Rosenthal, together with Keith Poole at the University of Houston, have done a statistical analysis showing that the voting behavior of a congressman is much better predicted by his party affiliation today than it was 25 years ago.

I was concerned about the kind of reaction I would receive, but in every case my science colleagues were enthusiastic, and surprisingly some even shared a confidence that they were also planning a new career outside science.
So a biomedical team from Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India, began exploring their potential, in cooperation with materials science colleagues at the university and at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials in Balapur, India.
