In a post about John Holdren's nomination as presidential science adviser I wrote
I'll try to remember to check the date stamps of posts from now on so that I don't make this mistake again.1
By the way, if you're interested in science and public policy and haven't read Pielke's, The Honest Broker, check it out of your library or buy a copy. I highly recommend it.
John Tierney and Roger Pielke, Jr. think John Holdren was a bad choice for presidential science adviser.While that is clearly true of John Tierney, it is a misrepresentation of Pielke's views. The Pielke post I linked to was posted on 15 August 2008. Roger pointed out the error to me in a very polite e-mail, and he pointed out that Chris Mooney's original post now contains a correction apologizing for the error.

1You can be sure I'll make other mistakes, and I'll probably even make this one again. But at least I won't make it again for awhile.
