I recently learned about Koji from a Bon Appetit video here. In this video they experimenting with…

美國調查報告已證實坐過冤獄的無辜犯人高達300多名,調查人員分析後,發現近乎四分之三的案例,起因於證人的不實指控。
為何證人會講出從未發生過的事?如果這些指控並非蓄意汙衊,那麼,造成誤判的最大可能就在於:證人的記憶是錯的,但法官卻採信錯的證詞,做出錯的判決。
或許,每個人都有健忘的時候,對某些發生過的事失去印象是正常的,但很顯然,印象模糊並不會成為影響判決的關鍵。
Our DNA seems to have been manipulated in the past by beings that passed themselves off as Gods. In Sumer…

I vividly remember the day my friend and astronomy colleague Dr. Suleiman Baraka called to let me know that his eleven year-old son, Ibrahim, had died from his wounds at a hospital in Cairo, Egypt. He was critically…
If you’re like most people, reading your blood work results from a lab report is like trying to decipher Middle English. You can make out some terms and guess at others, but that’s where your understanding ends.
Welcome to Meet Our Ambassadors — a series that highlights each of the talented PhD students doubling as volunteers who represent Breakout Labs at their research universities and local events.

Studies find that both hard-to-treat depression and alcohol abuse may share inflammation as a common culprit.
I really think so.
Over the last few years, I have happily noticed a shift in the public’s attitude towards science.
From seeing it as useful in society it evolved to something necessary to change society…
We are well into 2018, and — if you are like most of us — your New Year’s resolution to eat exclusively salads with fat-free dressing is long forgotten.
Creativity is about the ability to overturn assumptions. It’s quite an irony, then, that there’s a fundamental and incorrect assumption about creativity itself in culture at large which needs to be challenged if creativity is to be properly understood.
I created a system of categorizing the genetic mixtures with which people exchange feelings and perceive emotions most effectively. The system I engineered generates an unbiased score based on measurable factors, the most important being genetic admixture. First generation persons of two races were ranked most prone to consciously sense what others…
A part of the requirement for the award of a Bachelors degree in Physics in a certain University is the completion of a course on general physics, and a very important question in the exam was to briefly explain the scientificmethod. I could imagine the grim on the face of…

There are probably others in the universe, and certainly other animals besides us here on earth that are aware of existence. Consciousness may or may not be the only way that existence is aware of itself.
We are aware of space, time and matter. We are also aware of the invisible…
Hello, and welcome to O-Fish-ial Fun Fact Thursday.
The sunshine is addition and so are we. Balls of energy held together by forces so mysterious they can only be seen as math. Their consequences keep us grounded, keep us together, keep us moving. The largest mass murder in history happened when we split them apart. Unintuitive at…
Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early-stage pre-implantation embryo.[1][2] Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4–5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50–150 cells. Isolating the embryoblast or inner cell mass (ICM)…

Dear Marta,
My most recent stuff has been about Brexit and the EU, so you may find that less interesting than what attracted you in the first place. My earlier articles may be more interesting, which were about the superorganism question, and spirituality in general. You can find a full list at my website…

Life is an incredible experience. If you think about it you are a combination of building blocks that some how are experiencing itself.
Everything is made up of small building blocks that form to make bigger blocks. From…
