Allow me to pull back the curtain. Scientist #1 is writing a paper and wants to add a reference in the introduction. They do a quick PubMed search and select one from a prestigious journal that looks applicable without reading the paper. Or even worse they do a Google…
I set out to learn about GMOs about four years ago when I was a new mom and trying to navigate through all the noise about “what’s best for your child”. As a human molecular geneticist, I decided to read the scientific literature on my…

On December 31st, 2016, we added another leap second. The leap second seems to make sense just like leap years but it’s very different.
To put it simply, there is absolutely no need for leap seconds and there is absolutely no excuse for saying that…
Below is a list of the books I managed to power through in 2016, and below that is a list of the books I’ve either just bought or am currently reading. Yes, it’s all a little out of control, but hey…
Like something out of a sci-fi flick, sonic tractor beams are capable of making small objects float in thin air using sound waves. As awesome as this concept in science and engineering may be, getting your hands on one isn’t so easy. Well, at least until…
Young engineers cook up ideas for making mornings merrier
2016 was a good year for science and a great one for space. Here are ten of the best space stories from last year.

[Everyone], somewhere deep inside, believes that God exists.
I used to believe that the opposite must be true — surely every believer must have moments of doubt, where their faith falters. My theory might not be true, and I am quite sure this one is just as misguided.
When it comes to thinking about ideas, truth is overrepresented, especially in the academic mind. The sub-fundamental question for an idea or a model is not whether it is accurate, but rather how does it enable me to enact positive utility? Consider this mandate: seek not “truth”…
Tere uut aastat. See kõlab küll veidralt, aga vahel on ise lihtsam midagi kirjutada, kui kellegi teise kirjutisele viidata. Teinekord vajame me kõik midagi inimlikumat ja reaalsemat, kui vaid järjekordset uuringut või artiklit kelleltki, kes elab ookeani taga ning kelle sõnad…
Hi Dan,
I call bs that you believe a brain couldn’t believe a world without a Creator. Are you being serious? Or is it rhetoric?
I think you are right to believe that a self-identifying atheist could be convinced that there is a possibility for something beyond physicality. But as an agnostic, I’ll…
Ultimately, we all follow some collection of beliefs. Rejecting God and claiming that we are merely the result of billions of years of chaotic biology is still a collection of beliefs. You could even label that collection, “God.” God is no more explainable than the primordial…

I’m in complete agreement with you. Admittance to “not knowing” is something the ego seems to hate, and many people (if not most) find it far more comfortable to have an answer of some kind, even if it’s built on a shaky foundation. The complexity of everything, while graspable to a degree by us mere…

A recent research team has found a new approach to shut down CRISPR-Cas9 that addresses potential problems with CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing methods. The team used phage proteins, allowing more precise gene editing and giving the researchers the ability to…
If you’re a physician, a nutritionist, or have studied biology, you’re probably aware that our bodies contain an immense…
Order in the universe does in no way mean there is a creator instilling this order. Just because somethings existence or appearance can’t be explained doesn’t mean there is a God.
The fact remains that if you are only relying on your 5 senses then believing in a God will always be difficult. Most Atheists I know want to…

You are ‘Ori’ to me in a most respected & affectionate image of a personage who has been stirring, moving & satisfying my core in our Medium contacts as many others have similarly experienced without doubt. Your width & depth of spiritual vastness on top of biomedical endeavor & knowledge in combination of your clean, graceful appearance exuding the…
I don’t like being rejected. Nobody does. However, after receiving worse than expected BMAT results and consequently a letter of rejection from one of the universities where you planned to spend the upcoming 6 years of your life will hit you hard. Or at least I…

Thank you.
What happens if you take your father, your father’s father, your father’s father’s father, and just keep going? As you start reading this article, let’s list some questions you haven’t asked yourself in a while:
· Why do I exist?
“Rejecting the ego means we are rejecting a part of ourselves.”
Excellent one.
I learn there are 4 parts to us. The first is our physical body. Next is our mind — the seat of our emotions. The third our intellect — the power of discrimination. The fourth is the eternal truth, which is packed in us…

Vera Rubin was an American astronomer and a pioneer in the study of dark matter. She died on Christmas Day, December 25, 2016.
Planet Earth at its surface spins at a speed of 1000 miles an hour spanning~24000 miles in 24 hours.
Planet Earth is also hurling itself forward around the sun at ~67000 miles an hour.
