Thoughts on, reservations about, science blogging...

I've just had a brief exchange with David Dobbs, who wrote the piece on Williams Syndrome mentioned a few posts back. He has decided to cut back on blogging, and I found his comments on this, and a reaction to comments by Andrew Sullivan, worth passing on. The mindsets of blogging and book writing are very different. (And...the reason I haven't gone beyond very preliminary efforts to do a second version of my "Biology of Mind" book.)
