Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland
August 31, 2011
Recently, The New York Times published an op-ed calling for curricular changes in K-12 math education: Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a "reform" version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by…

It’s a Quasicrystal! It’s a Topological Insulator! In 1-D!
Is anyone old enough to remember the ad in which two people walking down the street while snacking accidently bump into each other and discover peanut butter on a chocolate bar? Well, it turns out that when physics students run into each other on the street, the result is a quasicrystal with topological properties. The students in question were members of two different labs in two different…
The Coolest Star. Literally.
"It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool." -Bill Watterson Well, at least we can all agree on what's not cool. The Sun. Image credit: NASA, from what looks like the Stereo spacecraft. With a surface temperature of around 6,000 Kelvins, the Sun is one of the hottest objects that we're all familiar with. But when it comes to stars, the Sun is merely a "G-type" star. It…
Throwback Thursday: How Fast Do Stars Run Out Of Fuel? (Synopsis)
“Man loves company — even if it is only that of a small burning candle.” -Georg C. Lichtenberg The Sun, like all stars initially, burns hydrogen fuel into helium through the process of nuclear fusion. But as the Sun ages, as do all stars over a certain mass, it starts burning those heavier elements in its core, going through different phases of its life cycle and eventually ending in a planetary…
