It’s almost Science Week, a time to celebrate the choice of humans present and past to prefer thought to tradition, evidence to superstition, skepticism to fiat – to make explicit and take delight in the better world it’s brought us. In the words of one modern appreciator, science rules.

To spread the spirit of it, join me in posting about anything science-related – an image, video, story – on Wednesday, February 12. If they’re “public,” I’ll share them. I’ll be posting seven, one per day.

This will be my final science week on Facebook, though it remains my favourite annual occasion. I hope you’ll join me in a deep breath, a look around, and a nod at our fortune.
