When we give green veggies to kids, the reaction is usually something like this.
At the end of 2016, I took on the role of Chair of the Working Group for Astronomical Software (WGAS) in the American Astronomical Society (AAS), attempting to fill in the unfillable shoes of Frossie Economou. I’m honored to be asked to take on this role, and…

In 1962, The New Yorker magazine published the first of a series of articles by science writer Rachel Carson about the dangerous side effects of pesticides…
Game theory shows the universe won’t end, life isn’t meaningless, and there is a cheaper way to make antimatter.
This article was originally posted on ScienceofPeople.com as How Science of People Does Research.
One of the questions I’m often asked about the Science of People is how we choose what topics we research to write about and create…

Many people will know of the Big Bang Theory, not the TV show, but the giant explosion thought to have created the universe that we currently reside in. Many people will also know that nothing…
We bury our dead and only ever on accident bury the living. But for some plants, burying them alive may be the very thing that saves…

Okay, so the key difference here is that the “global cooling” theory never had a lot of support in the scientific community. It was in fact an obscure theory, which even supporting papers had lots of caveats about and was mostly spread in the press and popularised in public opinion rather than scientific opinion, whereas global warming was a more…
This is part of an on going series of articles documenting my final year undergraduate physics project. The objective of the project is to learn about the physics of tin whistles and create a model that can predict the frequencies for…

There is a relatively famous saying in the physics circles that the work of a theoretical physicist consists in…
Talk by Harro Van Lente at the Joint Research Centre (1st December 2016)
Supernovae are the most energetic processes in the Universe that we have ever witnessed. They are one of the many ways in which stars can end their lives and they are definitely the most spectacular one. When a sun dies in a supernova it really goes out with a bang. A bang you can see from…
Today, I wanted to understand the difference between all of these concepts. Some Internet research helps but provides conflicting opinions, so tomorrow when I have access to my Unity in Action book, I’ll have…
This is a great read, especially considering that I usually think of this question in the reverse direction—will biology help us crack AI? The way our genes operate is practically a coded system, much like an advanced computer in many ways. Think about how microbes or insects operate with a very limited set of objectives and priorities, yet are able…
That there is conspiracy, for me, is not in doubt and the only “theory” is in the crinkly details; I always did like the crinkly bits. It’s easy to take stuff like “reference to pointer to function returning pointer to void” or even “nested loop” for granted once it is familiar. I for one am thankful for all those who took the time to explain things…
Medicilon’s protein scientists have been working on protein expression and purification for many years. We can start your project even you have nothing in hand but the name of your protein. In Medicilon’s laboratories, protein purification is performed in scales from micrograms…

Research and development are key to any innovation in an existing or a new product. And for these to work there has to be constant experimentation to derive the desired results. In the chemical industry…
It’s hard to believe that in 2017 we are still having these discussions. Your description of the issues in Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan clearly define the issue for me: Control. When those in power control the health (or not) of their people, they control the people.
Thank you for this thoughtful, easy to understand article. Sharing.
