Proteomics are the next step after genomics and transcriptomics to study…
Many people who haven’t encountered a detailed treatment of infinite sequences such as might be contained in an introductory calculus course may not immediately understand why this is the case. Indeed quite a few very heated internet arguments have been had on…
When we speak about technology, we often talk about it as separate from nature, as if we can…
How will you celebrate with Dash, Dot, and Cue?
An A,B,C book
In honor of Psyche mission’s PMSR, our first big review, I post here all the year’s tweets on NASA acronyms.
A is for ABC (Agency Baseline Cost, total NASA is allocating, including all reserves) #NASAcronyms…
On May 9, an all-day symposium will celebrate the career of Portonovo Ayyaswamy, Asa Whitney Professor of Dynamical Engineering in the department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM), who will retire this year. The symposium will…
We live in a society where outputs and opportunities are highly unequally distributed. Of course, that comes in many different forms: wealth inequality, income inequality, educational inequality, housing inequality, cultural inequality, etc. All of…
Camille Seaman Narratively TED Talks
Often the idea of detachment is misunderstood in terms of not seeking anything at all, even in one’s physical existence. Many would feel that i do not get affected by anything happening around and perhaps i am detached to futility of physical…
Winston surmised: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried.” If that is the case, why not try some new forms? Compare our plight to that of a bridge builder, who can only make bridges out of mud, straw, or gravel. The poor bridge…
Emergent gravity and the dark universe
Space, time and gravity do not exist on a microscopic scale. New insights in theoretical physics would appear to lead to this surprising conclusion. On a macroscopic scale, these everyday phenomena arise from microscopic physics as ‘emergent’ effects. Last week, physicist Erik Verlinde…
Becoming an astronomer is damn HARD.
My buddy Fred Shirley is studying physics right now, two years through a four year integrated master’s program.
He’s about to have a meltdown from the stress and difficulty of it, and he’s brilliant and hard working.
It’s unfair to club all sciences together. The survey had a minority of physicists, chemists, and engineers combined — fields where the researches are generally most confident of the reproducibility of their research, even by other teams (as broken down in the survey). The problem definitely looms large in medicine and biological sciences and a…
Hello, and welcome to O-Fish-ial Fun Fact Thursday.
MARCHING FOR SCIENCE?
By Don C. Reed
I was trying very hard NOT to go to the April 14th March for Science, in Oakland, California.
I had no real excuse to miss the event. I had already visited Roman (my paralyzed son) in the morning, plus my stem cell writing was done for…
The plant-based source of proteins not only help in increasing protein content but also help in reducing weight. As they are lower in calories, cost-effective and tasty too. So for vegetarian protein deficiency is not a big problem now as you can easily overcome this by…
“ We, as the unique creation of GOD”
Though I applaud the message of this posting, I take issue with the quoted statement. In my view, it is presumptive to claim we are the creation of an unsubstantiated, purportedly omnipresent, omnipatent, illusionary construct of human imagination. A contrivance of metaphysical origin.
“Darwin Was Wrong About Dating”
It is interesting that you chose those words. Are you sure you know the full science behind gender? Or are you following the simplified high school Punnett square model that has been known to have flaws for a century? Science has shown that gender is complicated, messy, and hormones play a much bigger part in different parts of development than we…
