Doug was a guest, a colleague and a good friend, and I will miss his self-effacing ways and his razor-sharp defense of the work of science.
Some of you know he was also the science columnist for my former newspaper, the Berthoud Recorder. Here is a two-part series on the preservation of Florrisant Fossil beds. You can also find interviews with him on this site on the subjects of the fossil beds and the awesomeness of Charles Darwin.

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
