I know, with all of the tech out there some of you might be thinking, “Why a smart vibrator?”…

An important piece of the puzzle being investigated in this blog is the possibility of quantum information processing in the brain. Matthew Fisher at UCSB has had some ideas on solid epistemological ground over the past few years, and there’s a great write-up in Quanta…
Science is my superpower. I discovered this early on as a child, when I found I could solve life’s mysteries by…
It has been known for decades by the scientists that there is an organ in the nasal cavity which is called as vomeronasal organ or VNO, it detects trace amounts of chemical which are airborne called pheromones. The researchers are focused on this rather small organ inside the…

If the answer is “not much,” don’t worry. We didn’t know much either until recently. Then Elysium Health joined b8ta stores last month with a revolutionary supplement for your cells. Backed by scientists and covered by TIME magazine…
The book is called “The Divine Matrix: Bridging time, space, miracles, and belief” by Gregg Braden, or better put, this guy:
You can’t extrapolate like this. You have to account for body surface area, and even then it’s a very poor approximation (given non-linear pharmacodynamics and inter species variability, etc). You also need an uncertainty factor from the NOAEL, at least a log fold. A better extrapolation would be:
In fact twice today.
(1) The Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological model predicts that galaxies have lots of CDM at their centers. This prediction is routinely contradicted empirically. Here is the latest evidence for falsification
Oh absolutely. I tried to keep it short and simple because explaining pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors is pretty tough, so they’re just included in the 100x safety factor that I talked about. The actual FDA recommendation is either a 6.2 multiplier to move from rat to human with a factor of 10 safety margin — i.e. divide by 62 — or just…
Upcoming Citizen Science Day celebrates and recruits everyday people who support large-scale and local research around the world
A friend generously lent me her copy of Bob Jones University’s (BJU) life science textbook. This notoriously conservative university takes a dim view of science, reflected in their, uhm, science textbook. What will we find there? All you find…
This post originally was published on another blog of mine in 2008! I’ve combined the initial…
