There is plenty of software packages that can perform data and text analysis — which one are used by scientists? The answer strongly depends on discipline, but Excel, SPSS, R and Python dominate.
The Prosaic Mosaic is now a publication on Medium! You can read about other scientists and follow the series here.

This list of fabulous science reads will keep you going strong on your New Year’s resolution to read (more) books this year

The most transformative technologies in human history did not just gradually improve in a linear fashion. They made the previously impossible possible and then rapidly developed in a non-linear fashion. The invention and development of these technologies are non-linearities. Albert Wenger describes…
Shame that this is in here. After I immediately hated the title of the article (nice trap, btw.), for a moment I thought there will be nothing contentious in it.
Unlike points 1–3 and 5, which are all demonstrable facts, this one is speculative and political — merely scientistic. In other words, going beyond what the science…
Our food and how it is grown is experiencing an unprecedented evolution thanks to incredible advances in science. Breakthroughs in biology, data science and its applications have opened up a whole new world of crop…
Have you ever wondered why we believe in…anything at all?
“Perplexa” is her name. No one quite knew where she came from so that was the name she was given. In the year…
To excel in materials science research, you need curiosity about the microscopic…
A simile is like an analogy, metaphorically speaking.
Methamphetamine, also known as “meth,” “crystal meth” or “crank,” is a powerful and addictive stimulant whose psychoactive properties are capable of inducing feelings of false confidence and euphoria when smoked, snorted, eaten or injected. Despite the initial pleasurable…
We’ve all been to tonnes of events before, some good and some not-so-good, but what’s rare are events that allow you to make them what you want them to be. That’s what’s different about Disrupt-Kenya: we want to make our event versatile, allowing you to mould it into what’s going to benefit you…
Obesity, but also impotence and pornography, social contagion and cultural what-the-fucks of all kinds: Hollywood…
Molecular medicine
That was my department’s name when I was pursuing my PhD degree in Kobe. Now I am a fresh graduate pediatrician from a developing country, small and unheard but we have enormous number of people. It means we have a lot of diseases. You name it. We have. Just like our deputy from research and high education…
I’m sorry, but you simply don’t understand what the issue that I’m talking about even is. It’s about the nature of scientific proof.
If you believe Karl Popper, the main philosopher of modern science, you can prove nothing. You can only really disprove claims in science. Statement is in fact truly scientific only if it can…
CLIMATE CHANGE INDICATORS FROM THE EPA SHOW USA EXPERIENCING IDEAL CLIMATE.
The US EPA maintains that the 1930's were the hottest decade ever.
“Heatwaves in the 1930's remain the most severe heatwaves in the US historical record.”
Well, with all due respect, read again. What I said is that while you can scientifically prove things like whether a vaccine works, climate change happens, fluoride protects your teeth, evolution functions, or how long the universe has existed, you cannot scientifically prove whether or not a divine intervention of any kind has ever happened…
Please stop saying that I claim things that I do not claim. If I were saying them, I would have said them. I didn’t say there is a god, or that it’s one god, definitely not any particular one, or that I believe it. Those are all your words, or more specifically, presumptions.
CLIMATE CHANGE INDICATORS:
SNOW & ICE
“Antarctic sea ice extent has increased somewhat over time.” – EPA
Penicillin was one of the world’s first miracle drugs — discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, it enabled doctors to kill the bacteria that transformed tiny cuts into festering wounds, infections necessitating limb amputation…or other types of discomfort.
The disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (converging under…
At US military training facilities, spent shell casings are scattered across proving grounds, many buried several inches below ground. What if they were biodegradable and contained seeds that would sprout into beneficial plants over time? It may sound a bit…
Picture yourself six months ago (if it wasn’t summer for you six months ago, just pretend and go with it). It’s sweltering outside, so off you go to the kitchen with all the good intentions of grabbing yourself a nice…
Supreme mathematics
Some believe math is the only thing true. The numbers don’t lie. Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t. The scientist believe that there is an equation for life. The algebra problem that will cleanly, uniformly, rationally, masterfully put everything in a box. We cracked the code. Soon the scientist think…
Let’s not forget that life itself can cause mass extinctions e.g the great oxygen crisis and man made global warming.
Unfortunately, these laws need to be passed because of people like you.
At this point, you are nothing more than a ruthless parent profiting of booksells and other commercialisations of this topic with no regard for the damage that you inflict on others.
For thousands of years, drug addiction has been affecting millions of people across the globe. Though an addiction to any substances virtually affects every aspect of an individual’s functioning, its long-lasting harmful effects on the brain can be a major cause…
Researchers at Penn State suggest that motor proteins which pause at the ends of microtubules and produce pushing forces can also stimulate their growth. According research using recombinant mouse proteins, the…

When it comes to science and scientists, people commonly think of educated people that have extensive knowledge on the subject. However this week…
Summary: Having grown up with allergies, it has become normal for me to be coughing and itching anytime I got near a dense group of plants. Hence, after spending a while brainstorming, I decided to create Plantergies (Figure B below shows the home page). This can be used to capture and record any allergic…
As we rely more and more on technology in our daily life , our work hour is continuously decreasing so that we can do more other works. These days we find that technology and science both are focusing on robots and drones. Here is something you need to look at ..
