Someone finally figured out the number of scientists that would have to be either wrong or involved in "the conspiracy" if AGW wasn’t a real phenomenon:

mirroring minds Post Source: roychristopher.com Posted: Nov 29 2008 22:03:47
In researching technological mediation (which many of you know has been my most intense intellectual jones over the past few years), I started looking internally a year and a half or so ago. Internally meaning cognitively, thinking that quite a lot of the process I’m trying to figure out is going on inside our heads. I first read about mirror neurons when David Byrne and Daniel Le......

They bond through genital licking and anal intercourse, which often ends in ejaculation. If a male sheep chooses to not have gay sex, it becomes a social outcast. Ironically, scie...... [Show More]
life of discovery Post Source: feeds.feedburner.com Posted: Nov 28 2008 05:35:48
I love this. My experience as someone who loves science inasmuch as it’s a process of genuine learning and discovery (rather than merely a day job, or a competitio n), w ho never really loved school but spent a few years living in the library, post graduation, working on independent research, I can hardly express how encouraging it is to read this:

Craig Venter, l’uomo che ha legato il suo nome all’impresa di identificare la sequenza del genoma umano, annuncia per l’anno prossimo la creazione del primo organismo artificiale. Il 2009, quindi, potrebbe essere l’anno decisivo per un’impresa che molti considerano azzardata e rischiosa. A chi lo accusa di “giocare ad essere dio”, Venter ha risposto R...... [Show More]

Ein mehr gewzungenes Update aber wenigstens überhaupt was Neues. Die Analogie des Tages - ein persönlicher Blog sei mehr Buch als Zeitung - mag die derzeitige Eintragsflaute erklären.

In high school, I made the decision to pursue a career in a creative industry. The decision was based mostly on gut instinct; although I managed to get pretty decent grades in math and science, neither really arrested my attention the way my artistic hobbies did. I was always aware that the Asian-American community promoted science and technology, but the high accessibility of creative studies at ...... [Show More]
Wherein The Subtle Rudder considers religion.
I took the Belief-O-Matic religion quiz this morning, and it pretty much nailed me (to a Kum-Ba-Yah cross). Here are the faiths that most closely match my beliefs:
1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (98%)
3. Liberal Quakers (92%)
4. Neo-Pagan (88%)
5. Mainline to L...... [Show More]
In this, Seed’s first State of Science, we set out to examine the radical changes within science itself by assessing the evolving role of scientists and the shifting dimensions of scientific practice. We surveyed scientists, academics, and consulted with historians, journal editors, and policy experts alike. We also invited genome pioneer and entrepreneur Craig Venter to lay down his opinion......

The maneuver looked difficult. We were instructed to plant our bo staffs into the floor and use the leverage to perform a swinging double-front kick then, without a break, flow through into a bent-kneed side flip. Never the most athletic person, the first hurdle to overcome upon all such requests was doubt — doubt that I was strong enough, coordinated enough, practiced enough — to pull...... [Show More]
