"About an hour before kick-off we went out to take a look at the ground and there were maybe 40,000 fans already there in the stadium, and the feeling was hostile."

"He kicked in the door, cornered her and said he was going to kill her. A gun fell out, maybe out of his shorts — and they both lunged for it."
"What it means is you have to cover a bit more ground with your kicking and the ones that make a mistake coming to the (small) SCG try to change their game plan. It is very hard to change your game plan in a week. We think we've got a game plan that stands up on all grounds."
"I tried leaving. He wouldn't let me leave. He threw me down to the ground and started to kick me, and that's when my driver busted through the door."
"It's a distinct kicking motion. It was kicked in, and I'm sure we'll get an apology from the league on it. We've had reviews that lasted five minutes. That took two seconds and the guy kicked it in? Come on, I don't understand how a video judge here can make that type of call when it's that distinct."

"The Bachelorette" sees Ali heading to the hometowns and a not-that-surprising elimination. Also — taxidermy and a creepy freezer! God bless fathers, right?
We jump right into hometown dates on the show, so let's do that here too!
Roberto's Hometown Date, Tampa, FL
They kick things off with a visit to his college baseball field for a little … time to play with balls? Get to second base? A little "Paradise by the Dashboard Light?" Heh heh. Ali clearly is not a softball player, but she's a decently sporty girl. It's very cute. He then gives her his baseball card, which is admittedly awesome. He played for her hometown team during his minor league time, so that's a cool coincidence.
With the family, Ali meets dad Roberto Sr, mom Olga, brother Peter, sister Olga and sister-in-law Kristen. Roberto Sr. is convinced that his son is clearly good enough for anyone, but he wants to make sure Ali is good enough for his son. He talks to her and gets concerned that she's maybe too career driven. I think she wins him over? But it's hard to tell.
Roberto then tells his mom that he'll probably propose if given the chance and asks for his mom's blessing, which she gives him. Olga just wants him to be happy. Yay mom! The family the shows off their dancing skills and that's amazing. What a fun time!
Chris's Hometown Date, Cape Cod, MA
Aww, cutie dog! Seriously, could I love Chris MORE? I could not. You know what else I could not love more? Ali's boots. Want. They walk along the beach with his dog and it's just so beautiful and picturesque and foggy and romantic. Lovely.
Chris interviews about how his mom got to meet his brothers' wives and she won't get to meet his wife. I can sympathize in that I feel that way about my grandparents, which is not at all the same level of sadness, but it makes me get all teary-eyed anyway. That's so hard.
They sit on the porch like a cute married couple and it's just very comfortable. Finally his dad Ed comes home with the brothers Mark and Erik and wives Megan and Sarah. I am totally smitten with the family, who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Pick Chris! CHRIS!
The spread of seafood is also amazing — mmmm, oysters. The bracelets come up and there's a nice moment with the sisters-in-law and the family motto of "love is the only reality." Ed then tells the story of meeting his wife Margie at a bar. She knew on the spot that she was going to marry him. Awww.
Later Ed talks with Ali and just can't say enough about Chris. Meanwhile, his brothers and sisters-in-law seem to really like her but they are worried about him because of the nature of the show. Later, Ed and Chris talk about his mom and not getting to introduce his wife to her, but Ed says that on one hand that's true, but on the other she's up there helping orchestrate all this. Aww, tears again! Team Chris!
Before they leave, he shows her his tower (I don't exactly know what that is or where it came from, but it's super cool). And they hug and smooch. Awww. Am I the only one who thinks Chris looks like a really good kisser? Oh yeah.
Kirk's Hometown Date, Green Bay, WI
So they jump right in to the family time because Kirk has two households. And they are barely there a few minutes (if the editing is to be believed) before his dad takes Ali down to his Lair of Taxidermy. Yeah, that would make me uncomfortable too. He also has a freezer down there where he keeps
human heads animals parts. And other frozen treats. Heh heh.
I love the accents, just btw. I keep waiting for Kirk's dad to call Ali a "hoser." Snerk. Kirk and his family seem super-sweet, especially that adorable sister of his, but I just don't see it with Kirk or his family. There is a cute montage of soccer, though. Ali looks much more at home with the soccer ball than the baseball.
At Kirk's mom house, she meets his grandma, mom and sister. What a bunch of hearty blonde German Wisconsin folk. Love it. Grandma keeps saying "cheesy potatoes" and cracking me up. Grandmas rule. The women in Kirk's life seem to really like Ali, so it wins me over a bit on him moving forward. But I'm still not sure about Kirk.
Frank's Hometown Date, Chicago, IL
Frank and Ali take a boat ride on the Chicago river. I've been on one of those — can you say booze cruise? Hells yeah. Ali makes a "future in-laws joke" and Frank about swallows his tongue with a hesitant, "Yeah!" Snerk. Don't panic, Frankie.
He then is too much in his head, worrying about whether things are real and stuff. Is this just a big set-up for the dramatic confrontation coming in Tahiti that they've been teasing in the previews? Hmmm. My "Bachelorette" spidey sense is tingling.
When Ali meets the fam, Frank's mom says that she feels like dinner is just any old dinner they're having after Ali's been around for years. Awww. Frank's sister Becky is more hesitant. They agree that Frank is emotional and scared and why it seems like he's half a second away from a total meltdown. It seems to go pretty well, with Ali saying that she thinks there's a real possibility of her ending up with Frank at the end.
Chris Harrison blahblah time
Ali and Chris have to rehash all the things we just saw. I mean, what is she going to say? "I didn't really like so-and-so, so I'm not giving this-guy a rose." Please. Move it along.
But you know what I love? Ali's pink rose dress. Very nice. She does say she feels stronger about some of the guys now then she did about Jake when she took him home to meet her family and she cries thinking about sending someone home. Awww.
Rose Ceremony
Ali can barely speak during the ceremony, she obviously doesn't want to hurt anyone and doesn't want anyone to think that it had nothing to do with their families. I have to confess, even if you hadn't fallen for one or more of them, it would still be hard to cut somebody after meeting their families and seeing how they are together.
The roses go to Roberto, Chris and Frank. Kirk looks pretty crushed. Awww, poor guy. They say their goodbyes and Ali is really sad but kind of reiterates my sentiments in that they just weren't good together. Kirk takes it like a man and is very gracious and nice.
Next week — Tahiti! And Frank-o-drama.
What do you think, guys? Was Kirk the right guy to go home?

Robert Carsen directs the ENO in a production of Handel's opera that charts the love affair between Jupiter and Semele. With
Rosemary Joshua and John Mark Ainsley.
"This is the kind of production Semele might have designed for herself. It's cool, it's chic, it's straight from the pages of Vogue magazine, circa Cecil Beaton's heyday," stated Edward Seckerson. "Carsen's staging is deftly pointed and Handel's music is a continuous feast. Go, and enjoy," gushed the Financial Times. "The Coliseum has done Handel, and Congreve's libretto, proud," pronounced The Times. "Fresh, funny but never in the least bit camp or vulgar," trumpeted the Daily Mail. But The Daily Telegraph had reservations: "This
Semele is a smart piece of window-dressing: it may pull crowds, but it won't tug hearts."
A kind of mythological High Society, Carsen's stylish production will entertain and enthrall.
Semele is at the Coliseum until 28 May. Call 0171-632 8300. It will be broadcast live simultaneously on BBC2 and Radio 3, 7pm, 15 May.

This spiced chutney is great as a condiment to roasts and sautés, but don't stop there. For an aromatic side dish, stir a couple of tablespoons into any cooked whole grain, such as brown rice, spelt, or barley. Or use a little to spice up homemade chicken salad. For the best taste, use fresh blackberries; fresh rhubarb can be hard to find, so use frozen.

When Every Face is Strange
Every quarter, UC Irvine engineering professor John Garman has to get to know a slew of new students.
It's never been easy. In fact, it can be terrifying.
Not because he has too many students, but because he has a condition that prevents him from recognizing people's faces.
It's called face blindness, or prosopagnosia.
He can recognize anything else – just not faces.
"I can point out any car in the parking lot, and I can tell you the year, make and model and something else about it," said Garman, director of the Engineering Design in Industry Program.
Garman said he was born without the ability to recognize faces but discovered it was a specific condition only about eight months ago from watching a "60 Minutes" segment on people who were "face blind."
He had always figured he was bad with names. "I just thought I was socially awkward."
As a professor, he's compensated by keeping notebooks of his students' names and brief descriptions next to each name, such as "hair parted on side," "messy hair," "glasses, short hair" and "Christopher changed his hair."
If someone changes their appearance, that messes up his system. It's especially challenging when he meets students out of context – without their projects or outside the classroom.
"When someone walks up to me outside of class, and I say, 'I don't know who you are' ... It's hard to do that. It hurts people's feelings," he said. "They think you don't care about them."
Now that he's aware of his condition, he begins each new class showing them the "60 Minutes" video.
"He did that because he didn't want to offend any of us," said one of Garman's students, Ananya Habtemariam, who had never heard of face blindness.
Not a lot is known about face blindness. "I'm 43 going on 44 and had never heard of it," Garman said.
It's been seriously researched only for the past 10 years, said Marlene Behrmann, professor of cognitive neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "A lot of people are working really hard to characterize the disorder," she said.
The available research – studies conducted in Germany, India and the U.S. – estimates 2 percent of the population of the world has face blindness, which is considerable, Behrmann said.
People can be born with it or it can be brought on by an event such as a stroke or head trauma, according to Prosopagnosia Research Centers at Harvard University and University College London.
Most of the documented cases are of people who have had damage to their brain later in life.
Researchers are still trying to determine the cause of face blindness, and at this point there is no known cure or treatment available, experts say.
Carnegie Mellon's research hypothesizes that people who are face blind have a connectivity problem in certain regions of the brain. The team has shown that humans have a specific system in their brains to identify faces and that the system works differently in people with face blindness, Behrmann said.
Brad Pitt recently told Esquire magazine that he might be face blind. Others who have been diagnosed with the condition include Chuck Close, an artist who was featured in the "60 Minutes" segment, and neurologist Oliver Sacks, who has written extensively about being face blind.
Sacks has been the face of face blindness. He, like Garman, struggled with face blindness his entire life but didn't discover it until he was middle-aged.
It might sound like something that's relatively easy to deal with, but consider this: In the "60 Minutes" segment, host Lesley Stahl didn't recognize her daughter in a photo that was turned upside down. By inverting photos, it gives people an idea of what it's like to be face blind.
People who can't perceive faces find it difficult to recognize family members or people they see every day. Imagine trying to distinguish individuals among a group of students whose grades are based on attendance and participation.
"I need to know who they are every time they're there," Garman said.
"I just got seven French students visiting for the summer. It's terrifying," he said.
"I was in the hallway, and I met two of them that looked different: One was female, one was very tall." But the other five looked the same to him.
Garman said it's tough for dating and in larger settings, such as church. "People think you're an arrogant, egotistical jerk."
He recalls a childhood of noting people's sizes, height and weight, and focusing on particular body parts, such as ears and eyes, in order to recognize them.
He also tunes into voices.
When he was young, the condition led him to be introverted, he said. He's not that way anymore. He's friendly and outgoing.
Now, Garman wants to start a club on campus for others who may be face blind.
"Can you imagine what our meetings would be like? 'Hi, have I met you? Hi, have I met you?'" he said, mocking himself.
He needs at least three people in all to start a club, per UC Irvine rules.
Despite his challenges in recognizing people, he appears to have rapport with his students, who have even tried to help him.
Five of his students took a group photo and labeled it with their names. "The problem is I can't tell these three apart in the picture either," he said, referring to three of the students who are Asian and wear glasses.
When all five students are in class, he can compare them against each other to figure out who they are.
Behrmann said people who are face blind often do a lot of problem-solving to figure out faces.
"It's probably why I've been a successful engineer," said Garman, who worked 12 years in the private sector before teaching.
"There's this piece of me that's missing, so I made up for it with what I do well," he said.

Pretty expensive for a 1 night, no amenities stay.
I'm an incredibly high strung guy who demands a lot of myself, so I always know when I travel Alaska that I need to be more present to the amazing geography and lower my standards on the room I'll barely spend any time in while enjoying the outdoors. I travel to Anchorage one a quarter and have noticed that the Starvrating system isn't quite the same as the lower 48 states. With that said I was incredibly impressed with this hotel for its masterful balance of Alaska heritage (complete with animals) and modern hotel amenities. No need to lower any standards, but rather super clean rooms with modern furnishings and space efficient room layout. Staff was chipper, helpful, and really jovial. Nothing notable... However, I had an odd experience. I hydrate a lot on trips and typically go through a gallon a day. One night I ran out of water and I searched the hotel for bottled water, but there were zero options. Every single vending machine in the hotel was stocked full of soda and multiple brands of energy drinks. I ended up driving to a nearby gas station for some H2o. Not a big deal...
accomodations room to hot and front desk wouldn't provide a copy of receipt upon check out.
I was completely offended when the staff photocopied my driver's license and also took my credit card. I was told they do that (photo copy a driver's license) because of some of the actions that have taken place so they need to have this in case something happens - it creeped me out and made me wonder if I should even stay there in the first place! Are the clients so sketchy that everyone is a suspect? They claimed all hotels do that (copy the driver's license) they just don't tell you - I don't believe it - I hadn't had that happen before - I won't stay there again. The rooms were fine - this action is not!
Ubicación del aeropuerto
Buena ubicación. Habitación espaciosa. Las camas son cómodas. Mercado de cerca. Se puede ir andando al centro de la ciudad y parques/senderos.
Nick del personal de recepción era amable, servicial y profesional. Siempre me saludaba con una sonrisa y dispuesto a ayudar. El ascensor era lento y solo funcionaba uno.
amabilidad del personal el baño muy básico y antiguo y los complementos: jabones pobres, albornoz zapatillas ausentes
Hemos reservado una habitación para 3 personas y nos han confirmado una habitación para 3 persnas. Sin embargo hemos encontrado una habitación con una sola cama de 1,50 metros. ¿Eso es espacio para 3 personas?
No heat in the room despite Alaska tempuratures
owner was nice bed not properly made so lumpy & at 2am when we finally got there we just crashed after long train ride, car rental, finding location (sign hidden-thak God I had a Garmin. It says Inn & SUites, but far from it-looks like a Motel 6 (-2). Owner says new beds and some fixing but looks like OLD interior-pink paint etc. old Sorry :(
In-room frig, comfortable beds with 3 pillows for each double bed, roomy, close to downtown and airport with a car, large fan in the room. It had a neat appearance with bedspreads tucked in at the corners. Looks a little better in person than the photo. It had all clean surfaces except for some dirt on bathroom floor in the corners. But all else looked neat & clean. I still felt comfortable staying here.
The staff was wonderful and while the facility is dated, it was clean and smelled clean. Compared to other area hotels, the price was good and location was quiet.
Location, nice lounge and the rooms are kepy up well. Nothing at all.
clean, staff friendly and helpful, nice little restaurant/bar on location, conveniently located
The quietness. I slept like a baby. Checking in took forever.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Swimming pool Bed bugs! Bed is gross af! Probably didn't change it... The following morning a had this red swollen marks all over may body.
Clean quiet rooms with comfortable beds and lobby coffee service
Clean and friendly No
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location and price are nice Well a couple minor things: 1. Not that I really needed it but my in room phone did not work. I had to use my cell to call the front desk. 2. The morning maintence crew was not working on the morning I was to check out. So the spa was not open
Super clean, close to airport, nice bar and very good restaurant.
Service and location Nothing everything was good
near the airport location No everything was good
The hotel associates lacked customer service! The breakfast lines were horrible, and also bad hostess service. *also they need conditioner(shampoo). I would never stay there again.
Great central location Wifi is slow. Beds are uncomfortable.
Good customer service No vents in bathroom. Could be updated
The room is good and there is no infestation like other cheap anchorage downtown hotels. The staff is super rude and they should be fired. The price is not a good deal for just one night if you pay over $60/night your getting ripped off. The internet is super slow I got a fast internet speeds from a 3g connection on my cell phone. The breakfast is cold and nothing is cooked. Pretty lame hotel that doesn't offer good amenities. Would suggest getting a room at a different hotel that has a better staff,good breakfast, and fast internet.
The bath room design is a plus, since they put the water sink and shower room separately so people can do those things at the same time
Clean environment. Free breakfast. Calm location. There were no locks for the toilet or the bathroom. Apparently this is the case in all rooms (!). We stayed in a 2-bed room with other family members including children. No locks don't make sense at all. I'd not pick this hotel again just for this reason if I'm going with family again.
Beautiful modern design, the set up of the room was very efficient The room wasn't entirely perfect. We were missing sofa bed cushions and a coffee maker. Otherwise, it was great!
I picked the hotel because of its location, I needed to be near the Alaska native medical center but found that the room was so clean and perfect. One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. The staff was super friendly! There wasn't much to like! I wish they had more of a set schedule for shuttle service. And the morning I needed a shuttle to the airport the driver hadn't shown up to work but that's an isolated incident.
Location, cleanliness The cafe staff were really nice but something was wrong with the food there.
Location, Cleanliness and Facilities Air conditioning was not working and I was asked to open windows and sleep. After multiple calls they sent me a fan. They told me they will fix it next day and it is the same problem. They made me move next day to a different room. I was on vacation and expected little more from Marriot
Close location to airport Limited food options
The bathroom didn't have a fan. That made me sad. The TV wasn't facing the bed either. Wtf is up with that.
We were supposed to get to Anchorage at 12:00 noon. Our flight was bumped, and we didn't get in until 12:00 midnight. Our luggage didn't make our plane either. We got to the hotel after midnight, the staff was excellent! They were able to give us tooth brushes, toothpaste, shaving cream and razor. I can't tell you how nice that was when you have nothing more than the clothes on your back! Thanks Marriott. I'll be staying with you again. Todd Greer, Wildomar CA
Nice place, and I travel a lot. Great shuttle service. Nice and helpful people at the front desk, thanks.
Location was good and it had a free shuttle to and from the airport. Bed was very comfortable and had plenty of pillows. TV was located in and odd spot so when we pulled it out to watch it while laying in bed the cable cord came undone. Bathroom didn't have a fan either so it go steamy in there right away. Shower was very spacious.
No reward points given because it was booked online with who they call third party.
Embassy Suites is one of my favorite hotels, and the Anchorage location is no exception. The rooms are clean and quiet. The shuttle was a lifesaver. The fitness room was excellent, as was the pool. On this trip we really relied on the laundry facilities and were pleased there were enough washers/dryers so there wasn't a wait to use them or it was very little. Since we traveled in the summer, we also relied on the blackout shades. It was a phenominal experience!
New decor. Wonderful staff, especially the short-order breakfast cook. Would have liked to see the edges of the carpet in the hallways cleaned. Did mention this, and they were going to address it.
Clean and safe. Perfect central location. Walking distance to TGI Fridays. Golden Coral and Starbucks. Friendly staff and large hot tub.
clean and close to the airport I could hear the motors of the elevator running all night, very noisy. Police were in at 4:00 am pulling a tenant out of their room. It took an hour to do so which made it impossible to get any sleep.
Hot tub fantastic but facilities could use and upgrade on paint and ceiling. Acoustics are wonderful in there great design to minimize sound.
the beds the remodel
Clean room, friendly, personal staff. great location. Noisy A/C. Price too high in light of property. Price jacked up for summer guests. What about us who are Honors people? Most Garden Inns have a cocktail hour and snacks for business travelers, but not this one.
The young lady that checked us in was very good at her job but she had a lot to do. Only one person at the front desk. We waited 20 minutes to check in, people behind us waited a lot longer.
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. No pay-per-view movies
Lovely hotel, beautiful room
Attractive decor Not enough towels and supplies
Everything. Staff was very accommodating. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and very spacious. Not a lot of options at breakfast.
The breakfast is not very good. Substandard for the price.
Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Excellent breakfast. Very clean rooms had nice shampoo, soap and lotions provided. Great location, close to a mall for shopping or entertainment.
I loved the tub and bed
The breakfast and coffee were great. The thin walls, rumbling cars, and aggressive hotel guests with laundry problems.
My husband really enjoyed the breakfast! Everything was clean. Overpriced for the accommodations! No exhaust fan in bathroom!
Location is great for shopping and downtown restaurants. Bath was in need of updating. Very limited parking lot. First floor check-in area was cramped, cluttered and needed updating.
The king bed was comfy, and the balcony was neat (though I'd get more use from it in the summer months...thought for next time). I found the amenities more lacking than I'd expected. I was pretty sure I saw cable TV listed, but the remote control's guide feature didn't work, and there weren't many channels. There was no mini-fridge; I thought those were pretty much standard in any hotel above "motor lodge" class. The toiletries (shampoo, body wash, etc) came out of dispensers). There were only a few cheap plastic cups in the room...so cheap that two of them were cracked and unusable before I even got them out of the plastic wrapper. I also expected parking to be included; instead, it was an extra 12 bucks. That's not awful, but for $100 a night you should be able to toss in parking.
The staff at the front desk was very friendly. They just smiled and welcomed us back when we were in and out all night with a big group of friends who also had rooms.
aCean and well-located. Getting up in the dark to catch a plane--not the hotel's fault.
Location, accessibility, value for price, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms False fire alarm later announced as a drill at 5:30 am.
Location Staff was rude and unprofessional, not to us but witnessed towards another guest. Hotel is old, outdated and needs a major remodel.
Being downtown was convenient. I regret getting an upgrade from the 3rd floor to the 12th because I ended up with an uncomfortable bed that sagged so much it felt indented. Having to pay for parking sucked. And my bed was so indented that I could not get comfortable. The pillows are too thick too.
This is one of the most dated rooms O have ever seen in a Hilton. Otherwise lean and well-run, walkable to downtown shops and restaurants.
The lady that checked me in was sweet and the bellmen that helped me in and out were spectacular The room was very tiny! The bathroom was even smaller! There was no ice machine nearby. When I ordered dinner, they were missing particulars from the order but did not tell me that when I ordersd
The location is perfect. We walked everywhere we wanted to go.
The hotel itself had everything we needed and the location was perfect for our needs i.e right next to the train station. the rooms were large and clean. The staff reception was one of the worst I had ever experienced anywhere in the world. We were not greeted for about five minutes despite the fact that they were not busy. We made eye contact with several staff however, they never came to the desk to assist us. One staff member at the counter, was too busy trying to assist a contractor (not a guest) and completely ignored us. When we finally did get service, the staff member did not appreciate that we had waited so long. Then, to add insult to injury, the rooms we had requested (adjoining rooms for our children) were obviously not arranged and it took the manager about ten minutes to sort it out.
The location was great The hotel is very run down and looks to have not been upgraded in awhile. The rooms were dirty and falling apart. Wall paper in the rooms was coming off. There was dirt and dead mosquitos all over. One bed had a plywood backing on the wall to keep it tight. The lock on the door was loose.Paid extra because it was the hilton, but did not get my money worth.
Wish there was a way to know when amenities are closed for service! And the spa has plants growing in it!!! Bummer
The room was great. Windows were dirty but view was great anyway
Comfort, big bath and the view. No small refrigerator for my insulin.
I've had so many great memories here. I prefer this hotel to the Cook as the rooms are slightly larger and the decor doesn't make liberal Alaskans uncomfortable. The rooms are smaller than the hotels in midtown, and the restaurant in the hotel are not as interesting as the other downtown restaurants.
The staff was very helpful. We are Gold members and since the Lounge is now closed on the weekend, we were given a voucher for a free continental breakfast in their restaurant. We were given late checkout, which we needed because we had a late flight from Anchorage. We didn't like that the Lounge was closed on the weekend. It was also a little pricey. They don't have a shuttle from the airport, although it seemed that many other hotels did.
Location, staff most helpful with travel needs. Daily room rate costly
The staff was particularly helpful in getting dinner reservations and if you need it ask at the front desk to borrow an umbrella.
Enjoyed my entire stay. No transportation from airport. Restaurants are very expensive, although the food is good.
The overall facility was great. But the room wasn't the bed was to high. I needed help of a chair to get into bed. Even then it was a struggle. The light was set up for charging my phone but it didn't work. The tv remote didn't work. The friendly staff. The place was very clean.
It was a very clean and quiet place too stay. The breakfast is very good too. Great place to stay.

The Importance of Consilience in Science
Science is not a democracy. A consensus of evidence may be interesting, but technically it may not be significant. The thoughts of a majority of scientists doesn't mean a hill of beans. It's all about the evidence. The science is never settled.
These are refrains that I and other science communicators have been using over and over again when we turn to analysing debates and discussions based on scientific principles. I think we get torn between remaining true to the philosophical principles by which science is conducted and trying to make those principles familiar to an audience that probably does not understand them.
So let me introduce a concept that is all-too-often overlooked in science discussions, that can actually shed some light deep into the mechanisms of science and explain the anatomy of a scientific debate. It's the phonically beautiful term 'consilience'.
Consilience means to use several different lines of inquiry that converge on the same or similar conclusions. The more independent investigations you have that reach the same result, the more confidence you can have that the conclusion is correct. Moreover, if one independent investigation produces a result that is at odds with the consilience of several other investigations, that is an indication that the error is probably in the methods of the adherent investigation, not in the conclusions of the consilience.
Let's take an example to unpack this concept, an example where I first came across the term and it is a beautiful case of consilience at work. Charles Darwin's On Origin Of Species is a masterpiece of consilience. Each chapter is a separate line of investigation and, within each chapter there are numerous examples, investigations and experiments that all join together to reach the same conclusion: that life changes through time and that life has evolved on Earth. Take apart On Origin Of Species case by case and no single piece of evidence that Darwin mustered conclusively demonstrates that evolution is true. But add those cases back together and the consilience is clear: evidence from artificial breeding, palaeontology, comparative morphology and a host of other independent lines of investigation combine to confirm the same inescapable conclusion.
That was 1859. Since then yet more investigations have been added to the consilience for evolution. What's more, these investigations within the biological and geological sciences have been joined with others from physics and chemistry as well as completely new areas of science such as genetics, radiometric dating and molecular biology. Each independent line of investigation builds the consilience that the world and the universe are extremely old and that life has evolved through unfathomable durations of time here on our home planet.
So, when a new line of investigation comes along claiming evidence and conclusions contrary to evolution, how can that be accommodated within the consilience? How does it relate to so many independent strains conjoined by a similar conclusion at odds with the newcomer? Can one piece of evidence overthrow such a huge body of work?
Such is the thinking of those pesky creationists who regularly come up with "Ah-Ha!" and "Gotcha!" factoids that apparently overturn, not just evolution, but the whole consilience of science. Without exception, every single case that has been brought forward over the years does not hold up to scrutiny: the contrary result is in error and thus not really in conflict with the consilience. Depressingly, most of the 'examples' that the creationists put forward have been discredited time and time again but they are always willing to try their hand at foisting discredited material on a new, naive audience.
The same can be said of the Climate Change debate. While it has been pointed out many times that this is not an even debate and that the vast majority of climate scientists are in one camp (for example here and here) this by itself is not particularly helpful: science is not a democracy. But what has been underplayed is that the consilience of evidence for anthropogenic climate change is particularly strong. The IPCC reports are a consilience of hundreds of independent lines of evidence all converging on the same or similar conclusions. Supplement that body of work with complementary investigations outside the reports and the consilience builds; we have more confidence that their conclusions are correct. This is then magnified because of the consilience between the investigations within climate science research and the findings of the rest of science. They all point to the same conclusions about how the world works and the climate science is comfortably nested within all the other scientific disciplines.
While researching this article, I found out that the term 'consilience' and its basic principles were coined by the polymath William Whewell (1794-1866). He was a truly remarkable man partly because of the breadth of his work taking in philosophy, theology, physics, mineralogy, mathematics, poetry, astronomy, economics, mechanics and others. He also coined many other words besides 'consilience' that have entered the scientific and general lexicon. He came up with the word 'scientist' as well as 'physicist', 'catastrophism' and 'uniformitarianism' and went on to suggest to Michael Faraday words such as 'ion', 'anode', 'cathode' and 'dielectric'. Among his many notable associations: while he was a don at Cambridge, he met a young student, Charles Darwin, and later recommended him for the position of secretary for the Geological Society of London. In honour of their enduring friendship, Darwin quoted Whewell on the frontispiece of On Origin Of Species:
"But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this—we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of general laws."
And thus was born the origin of the great consilience of human endeavour that we call 'science'.

20 thoughts on "The Importance of Consilience in Science"
Often it is hard to get through to people. Many have fixed ideas and look for things that support those ideas while avoiding anything that contradicts them. Some people say science is just another faith thing, with its adherents also picking only those facts that support their 'belief'.
So how to get through to people? This article suggests 'consillience'. Would the two middle syllables dominate? Is there a plainer word in use? Consensus is no good, even for consensus of evidence, because it sounds too democratic, and as the article points out, science is not democratic. The majority opinion can too easily be wrong, and so often has been.
Is there a better word? I can't think of one so will leave the question open.
These are some interesting thoughts about the nature of evidence about which I both agree and disagree. I particularly agree with the point that science edges closer to truth when similar conclusions are reached by independent observations by different methods. But you overlook how in professional practice science advances in academia and government funded research when you say the opinions of a majority of scientists don't amount to a hill of beans. Peer review is the norm for publishing and for awarding grant funding. The process of communicating science and composing compelling arguments that convince fellow scientists is at least as important as the data itself.
You're right of course, Martin, I think the article makes that point – only badly.
95% of scientists agreeing with something is not (necessarily the same thing) as 95% of peer reviewed papers agreeing on something.
Scientists *can* act like sheep sometimes and accept the herd mentality but I think that's less commonplace that it used to be.
The problem, it seems to be, is that people can't differentiate between a telegenic moron with an agenda and a qualified person… And usually side with the attractive idiot.
A thoughtful and useful article
Hi Paul
Nice piece! And I hope in some ways one that will defuse arguments. It's not all or nothing, it's about the building of knowledge over time and by many people.
And it's great to see a fascinating person such as Whewell brought into conversations. He did not support Darwin's evolution, but he (I think) predated Darwin in rethinking the place of wastage in nature, i.e. that not all seeds and so on come to fruition. He made this argument (anonymously, though people soon figured it out) as part of the extra terrestrial life debate going on in the 1850s. The standard view was that ETs must exist otherwise what were all those planets and stars doing out there (the waste of it all!). Whewell used science to make an argument against ETs (though his goals were more religious in nature). Michael Crowe has a fascinating section on Whewell's role in one of the chapters of his second volume of The Extra Terrestrial Life Debate.
"The thoughts of a majority of scientists doesn't mean a hill of beans. It's all about the evidence." Well, that is nonsense unless you think scientists are idiots. Who sifts the evidence and interprets it? A measurement is empty of meaning until someone with expertise interprets it. If we limit ourselves to 'scientists with appropriate expertise' then if we have any confidence in the scientific method we would expect that the majority of these scientists will be able to sift the evidence and each will come to their own conclusion and if their expertise and ability mean anything the most common conclusion will be the most likely to approach the 'truth' (whatever that is) most closely. The problem with the article is that scientific consensus is not the same as political consensus, it is not reached through the same mechanisms, ideally, and should not be thought of in the same way. Scientific consensus is achieved by accumulation of evidence, intellectual argument, discussion, and testing of theory. Political consensus is a morass of opinion and compromise. Consiliance might be important, but consensus is not irrelevant.
Further, this whole idea that "The thoughts of a majority of scientists doesn't mean a hill of beans. It's all about the evidence" plays _into_ the hands of the nutjobs. It is a small jump from that statement to arguing that your favorite crackpot is the only person out there who knows the truth, that there is some conspiracy of the majority and only some elite band of creative thinkers know the truth. I hear this all the time from climate change deniers. This is mitigated by the insistence on converging lines of evidence, and clearly what we need is consiliance and consensus.
Thanks Paul. Your piece sent me to the bookshelf to look for EO Wilson's great work 'Consilience' and dust it off.
The debate is in the process leading to confirm or deny a proposal. When the scientific method is applied properly, regardless of the discipline: biology, geology, physics or astronomy, it allows us to approach the factual reality. As for imagination and dreams, it's definitely a great spring for fiction writers, and everyone agrees that what is produced is rather the world as we want it to be, not necessarily as it is.

Fantasy made in Sicily
A 20-year-old Sicilian takes the director's seat
The debut film by Giovanni Marzagalli (or, "John Real") is a tale of tormented adolescence
An unusual cinematographic buzz has
sparked the interest of Catania. It's not for the
nth blockbuster in strict Sicilian dialect, it's for
Look Behind the Shadows. While respecting it's Italian
traditions, the film also veers toward Hollywood style drama. The
distribution is scheduled for this month. "Over four hundred people
attended the première, but not I. My fellow citizens occupied even
the seats that were reserved for myself and the other actors. In
any case, it was a victory, and it's all good," recalls
Giovanni Marzagalli, a.k.a. John Real. "Many
dedicated actors turned down the project because they mistrusted
the idea itself, me as a director, the production, Catania, and
Sicily. I have donated my art to my homeland, and in the end found
America in my backyard."
Antonio Privitera, from Vogue Italia, March (n. 715), p. 146
