Living vs. Dying - Deirdre Saoirse Moen talks more about some of my recent posts.
Doing Gender with Wallets and Purses - This is fascinating.
Honoring Female Pioneers in Science - ‘Extraordinary Women in Science and Medicine’ Offers Up Little-Known Details.
Solar lasers, ocean power and volcanoes: unusual energy sources of the future
Fast-Paced Evolution in the Andes - The remarkable ecosystems known as Páramos are home to the fastest evolution on Earth, a new study suggests. (Via Dad.)
Old Dog, New Origin: First Pooches Were European
Quantum memory 'world record' smashed - A fragile quantum memory state has been held stable at room temperature for a "world record" 39 minutes - overcoming a key barrier to ultrafast computers.
The Physics of Peeing, and How to Avoid Splash-Back - Heh. (Via David Goldman.)
Best health care system? Really, John Boehner? - Yes, if you’re privileged, much as I am, this can be the best healthcare system in the world. But that leaves out tens of millions of Americans. Of course, if 30,000 deaths a year is a small price to pay for the safety that guns bring to paranoid conservatives, 40 million uninsured is probably a small price to pay for the healthcare received by willfully ignorant conservatives.
Recent surface warming has probably been underestimated - Filling in data gaps with satellites makes the last few years a little warmer. Man, Al Gore’s minions will stop at nothing for their climate change hoax. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh and the Republican party, otherwise we as a culture might have to pay attention to those liberal “facts” and “data”.
