By mikethemadbiologist on November 15, 2010.

Just another Manic Monday. Links for you. Science:

Time Warp: Recent right-wing rejections of Einstein's theory of relativity echo Nazi dismissals of what they called 'Jewish Physics' (they're not attacking science, they're just trying to defend their culture space)
Juiced
Serious Fun With Numbers: We're drowning in data, but few reporters know how to use them (you could also hire some scientists who know how to do this. Just saying)
What It's Like to Live in a Science Museum for a Month

Other:

Jewish Leaders Take Beck to Task for Creepy Soros Accusation: Scurrilous, Grotesque, Monstrous
Moral heuristics, public policy, and self-defeating tribalism
But it's just an hour!
I Finally Got a Kindle and I Love It but I Am Scared of Fascism
War Criminal Now a Republican Congressman (what is this 'torture' thing you speak of? We certainly don't do that)

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…

Weekend Diversion: Sleeping in the Stars (Synopsis)
“The probability of success is difficult to estimate; but if we never search the chance of success is zero.” -Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison Although, for many various reasons, most of us may find the prospect of journeying into deep space beyond our physical grasp, that doesn't means we can't journey there in our imaginations. Have a listen to Catie Curtis sing her fanciful, escapist song…
Science and art in action: a machine that poos
What you see here is a sample of artificially produced feces. More specifically, it's material produced from an artistic feat of engineering. The creation of a machine that can step for step mimic the digestive process. In other words: you put food in one end... and well, you get sh*t coming out the other. Anyway, called the "Cloaca," this is probably Wim Delvoye's most famous art…
Ringing in Kepler's Year
Happy new year! While we're thinking about years, why don't we think about one of the first guys to explore the physical reason behind the year? This nattily dressed gentleman is Johannes Kepler, who worked out three basic mathematical laws of planetary motion around the year 1605. He did so from scratch, purely based on phenomenological examination of astronomical data. Newton wouldn't…
