		<description><![CDATA[The "climategate" brouhaha that was ignited in November reveals that scientists aren't always adept at helping the public understand the scientific process. While scientists pursue the great questions of the day, they fail to solve the related problem of informing the world of how their investigations work. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mitroff.net&blog=3176464&post=136&subd=imitroff&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People and organizations are perfectly capable of making the most outrageous missteps. But, how does a person, organization, or society know that it is committing an error? My latest book, co-authored with Abraham Silvers, delves into how organizations and interest groups lure us into solving the "wrong problems" with intricate, but inaccurate, solutions. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mitroff.net&blog=3176464&post=107&subd=imitroff&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In all the finger-pointing, one party has escaped with less attention than deserved – business schools. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mitroff.net&blog=3176464&post=71&subd=imitroff&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The current presidential race shows that men and women are still imprisoned in roles that are as old as the Bible. Women leaders are either (1) “’lesser’ or ‘deficient’ men,” (2) “super-women,” and thus, better than men, or (3) “mythical beings who are larger than life itself, and therefore, like the gods, beyond either sex.”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mitroff.net&blog=3176464&post=24&subd=imitroff&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know what it is to be poor and face the never-ending struggle to work oneself out of poverty. Because of my brains and hard work, I was able to attend U.C. Berkeley and get an education. I cannot understand the attitude of those who want to lower taxes for the wealthy. I would gladly pay more taxes to help others get the same opportunities that I received.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mitroff.net&blog=3176464&post=23&subd=imitroff&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
