As a first post to the Cloudy Media blog, I thought I would begin with the missions of the website.  I created this blog to:

1.  Highlight and promote good science reporting in the media.

2.  Identify poor science in the media and research and report the facts.

3.  Review books, movies, and tv shows with a spin toward whether it depicts scientific reality.

I hope that this website becomes a resource that anyone can routinely visit for clarity on technical jargon and/or misrepresented science in the general media.  Please feel free to email topics that you find confusing and I will do my best to research and report back to you.  I appreciate your patience while I get this site off the ground.

Thanks,
Heather
