Small Brain - Normal Life

As reported in the journal, The Lancet, a man has been found who had a small brain, but a normal life. The article is subscription only so I am not even going to link to it. But it is still noteworthy. There is a fair summary in the online version of href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,495607,00.html">Der Spiegel, and it is even in English. It describes the case of a 44-year-old man employed in a tax office. He was married, father of two, holding down a job, seemingly fine. In 2003 he noticed some weakness in his left leg. He ultimately was seen by Dr…

Rover Finds Evidence Related to Life-Friendly Environments on Mars

Rocks examined by NASA's Spirit Mars Rover hold evidence of a wet, non-acidic ancient environment that may have been favorable for life. Confirming this mineral clue took four years of analysis by several scientists. An outcrop that Spirit examined in late 2005 revealed high concentrations of carbonate, which originates in wet, near-neutral conditions, but dissolves in acid. The ancient water indicated by this find was not acidic. NASA's rovers have found other evidence of formerly wet Martian environments. However the data for those environments indicate conditions that may have been acidic…

Science Blogging Event in London this Thursday

The Royal Institution, in conjunction with Nature Network, is sponsoring a program on science blogging this Thursday (28 February): Blogging science Dr Ben Goldacre, Dr Jennifer Rohn, Ed Yong Thursday 28 February 2008 7.00pm-8.30pm What is it like to work in a lab? What's the latest science news? How can you tell good science from quackery? The answers to all these questions can be found in blogs, and in this event you'll meet the people who are writing them. There are literally tens of millions of blogs online. Some read like personal diaries, while others are built round news or analysis,…

Jay Rosen: Blogs Do Quality Reporting Too

In response to Michael Skube's freewheelingly critical opinion piece about the blogosphere in Sunday's LA Times, the paper has published a response entitled "The journalism that bloggers actually do" by Jay Rosen, NYU journalism professor and PressThink blogger, via its online Blowback feature. For more information on the Skube affair, check out A Blog Around the Clock. I don't have a problem with Skube's assertion that blogs are no substitute for the mainstream media--I agree--but Skube is just so contemptuous and dismissive toward the blogosphere (a phenomenon he doesn't seem particularly…

What to do with Your Negative Results

My advisor received an email from a fairly prominent geneticist regarding some results published by Dobzhansky over fifty years ago. The geneticist had done some back of the envelope calculations and noticed some trends that had been overlooked for a half of a century. We happened to have the animals to replicate the experiments (and I was planning on doing some similar experiments) so my advisor had me perform the crosses. I ended up with a negative result -- I did not see the same trends that Dobzhanksy and colleagues observed. I guess you could say my negative result was a positive…

Mind Control around the world

After a previous post about mind control devices I received an interesting email from Catherine Heywood of the British Mind Control Network. It's a shame that "The British Mind Control Network (BMCN) is an online resource at present but hopes to become so within the next three years" I'm sure there would be some pretty interesting reading on that site to say the least. Get that website up Catherine! In any case, it seems that there is some serious mind control going on in Britain and elsewhere ;) See below the fold for some details - and the document I received. The British are…

Francis Collins, former head of the Human Genome Project, endorses Obama

Francis Collins, the former Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute and lead on the Human Genome Project has just published an opinion piece in the Virginian Pilot endorsing Barack Obama. Unfortunately the Pilot does not post their guest opinion pieces online, but a good friend in Virginia scanned a copy in for me. It is not a great quality scan, but it is good enough to read. What is striking to me about it is not just that a rather apolitical scientist of his stature came out to endorse Obama, but that he did it in a Virginia paper with far less profile than he could have…

I'm moving to Discover

Update your bookmarks: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp And RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/GeneExpressionBlog If you have a weblog that links to ScienceBlogs GNXP, I would appreciate you update the link for the sake of PageRank. There isn't much to say about the move. There wasn't one big precipitating reason, a variety of reasons coalesced to make this the right thing to do for me. I would like to give a shout out to Erin Johnson, who from what I recall has been the longest serving ScienceBlogs community manager in the history of the website. One bittersweet aspect of leaving the…

"What do you think, sirs?"

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I having something of an affinity for cheesy B-movies. I probably acquired the taste during childhood, when Jaws II, III, IV, and most of the Godzilla series would be playing on any given weekend, and even though I would be hard pressed to give any of the movies more than 2 stars out of 5 I do like turning down the lights, grabbing some popcorn, and sitting down to watch something that I know is going to be nearly painfully bad. There are a few exceptions, a few creature features that stand out from the rest (i.e. Alligator, The Host), but by and…

How tall is that UFO?

You know I wander around the intertubes, right? Who doesn't? Anyway, I saw this collection of strange google Earth images. Yeah, it is kind of dumb, but this one made me think: That article said the image was from TechEBlog, so there is that. I have no idea what this thing is, but it is clearly tall. How tall? Instead of searching online for info about this structure (that wouldn't be any fun), I figured I could do a quick analysis of the shadow. Here we go. First, I need to make some measurements. It turns out that Tracker Video tool for analysis is also quite excellent to use for…

Whitman and Neuroscience

I'll be away from my desk tomorrow, so I thought I'd keep you entertained with a video of me. (Forgive the shameless self-promotion.) In this short video, I'm discussing how Walt Whitman anticipated some truths of modern neuroscience. (I've written a whole book on this subject, which will come out this fall.) To be honest, I have yet to watch the video. I just find it too painfully embarrassing*. For those who just want the knowledge without suffering through my voice and nervous bodily tics, here's a short summary of the talk cribbed from my book: Whitman was the first poet to write poems in…

The Spiritual Brain

I tried. I really, honestly, sincerely tried. I've been struggling with this book, The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul(amzn/b&n/abe/pwll), by Mario Beauregard and Denyse O'Leary, for the past week and a half, and I've finally decided it's not worth the effort. It's just about completely unreadable. The writing is aggravating. It is constantly broken up with strings of quotes — 3, 4, 5, or 6 at a time — that are just plopped out there to speak for themselves, and often the authors don't even bother to address the points brought up in the quotes. It's…

Friday Recipe: Real Fried Rice

One of the staples of chinese cooking is fried rice. Unfortunately, what we get in American restaurants when we order fried rice is dreadful stuff. The real thing is absolutely wonderful - and very different from the American version. The trick to getting the texture of the dish right is to use leftover rice. Freshly cooked rice won't work; you need it to dry out bit. So cook some other chinese dish one night, make an extra 2 cups of rice, and then leave it in the fridge overnight. If you can, take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before you're going to cook, to get it to room…

It's Not Like the Suffragists At All

Yesterday, PZ and Amanda both argued that a model for the acceptance of atheists should be the suffragist movement. I think that's the wrong model: the appropriate model is the mainstreaming of Jews into American society. Overall, despite an incident in Delaware, Jews have entered mainstream society quite well: if polls are to be believed, we are less likely to be discriminated against electorally than evangelicals (although maybe that's just a respect for our innate business acumen). But around sixty to seventy years ago, that wasn't the case. Jews were routinely discriminated against,…

Big Sh-tpile Was Not Complicated or Unpredicted

In fact, it didn't even require much in the way of theory. As financial reform legislation moves its way through the legislative process, we're going to hear a lot of claims along the line of "No one could have predicted this." Which makes me wonder if we're going to militarily occupy Wall Street for a decade too. Of course, this is bullshit, and economist Dean Baker calls out this ersatz 'consensus': Yeah, it's all really really complicated. Except it isn't. Nationwide house prices had diverged from a 100-year long trend, increasing by more than 70 percent in real terms. There was no…

Do We Need An Anti-Creationist Think-Tank?

Two years (January 28, 2005) have passed, but I am still not sure what the correct answer to this question is: --------------------------------------- ( Image: Sexism and Creationism , thanks All-Knowing Orac) Previously, I have made a comparison between the challenges facing the reality-based community in politics and the challenges facing the reality-based community in science (some of it perhaps related to the underlying idea of the image above). Not everyone appeared to have liked it, as this guy who is "a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan" wrote this in response. I…

Please learn from my mistake

Quick trip to California, and between life, the neighbours dogs, and a late connection I was drive to the ultimate in desperation... I bought one of the "snack boxes" on United Airlines. The "healthy" one. Judging by the state of the contents, I was the only customer dumb enough to actually buy one this month. Though it had not quite hit the expiry date, I checked. Anyway, you expect the crackers to be stale, but the rest was basically a tin of cat food and a jar of baby food. Suspicously mouldy looking baby food. Ok, the mini-toblerone was ok, hard to go wrong there. You have been warned.…

Weekend Diversion: Rorschach In Real Life!

"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me! " -Rorschach, from Watchmen One of the best graphic novels I've ever read is Watchmen, created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins. (Decent movie, too.) One of the things that struck me most about it is how fatalistic and, in many ways, hopeless it all seems. To set the mood this week, I give you Ben Harper's melancholic song, Widow Of A Living Man.With a slew of well-developed, major characters, a case can be made for any number of them as either the most heroic or villainous; in my case…

Almost Free Computer, Coding, Game Programming Books

Have a look at the list of books, below. Would you like a subset, or all, of these books, in electronic format, for very cheap? There is a way to do that. Note: This is time sensitive, the offer running for just about two weeks and it started yesterday. I've reviewed several of these books on this blog, and have recommended them. I'm going through Python Crash Course right now, and we've found the various kids programming books to be helpful, for instance. I've not looked at the grey hat or black hat books, but I'm sure they are fine. The publisher, No Starch Press, has created one of…

Dan Wells, John Cleaver Series [Library of Babel]

I've heard a bunch of good things about Dan Wells's John Cleaver series (a trilogy at the moment, consisting of I Am Not a Serial Killer, Mr. Monster, and I Don't Want to Kill You, but the ending of the last leaves an opening for more, should he want to write more), but I somehow didn't expect them to be quite as strongly in the Young Adult category as they are. It's a bold call, but it actually works pretty well. The set-up here is that the first-person narrator of the series, John Wayne Cleaver, is a sociopath with all the usual traits of a serial killer in the making: pyromania, frequent…

My Dad's Favorite Story

While I'm reminiscing about my father, I just have to tell this story. This may be the single funniest thing my father has ever said or done, and it's even funnier if you know him. My father has a very dry sense of humor, but he's not a guy who tells a lot of jokes or generally tries to make people laugh. I was a little boy when this happened, but didn't know about it at the time. I heard the story from Greg Bird, one of my dad's closest friends since my childhood. They met when Greg bought a home in our neighborhood, which had recently been destroyed by a flood (this was in 1975). This home…

Boskone in Brief

Kate and I spent the weekend in Boston for the science fiction convention Boskone, which we've been going to every year for the past several years. I'm not going to do a detailed recap of everything that was said on every panel that I went to, mostly because I don't keep notes. Also, that would probably drive away all the readers who weren't actually there. The highlight of the con was probably in the socializing, anyway-- dinner at Legal Test Kitchen with Debra Doyle and James Macdonald and Yoon Ha Lee, hanging out outside the con suite with Jordin and Mary Kay Kare, hanging out in the hotel…

Casual Fridays: Do grocery stores give us the right mix of nuts?

Last week we asked our readers what their favorite types of mixed nuts were. Does the mixture that comes in the can actually approximate real-world preferences, or are the nut-packagers just giving us the cheapest nuts, with no allowances for our actual likes and dislikes? We received over 600 responses. Readers rated seven types of nuts typically found in jars of mixed nuts on a scale 0 (don't like at all) to 5 (like very much). This morning I bought two cans of nuts from the grocery store and Nora carefully sorted, counted, and measured the contents of each can. Here are the contents of the…

Thank You to our DonorsChoose contributors!

The DonorsChoose challenge is over - and given the terrible economy and the distraction of the election, I feel very fortunate to have gotten over $2,000 in donations toward some incredibly creative science/art projects. Here's some of the feedback I've gotten from the teachers: I am so excited about this project and am very grateful for your generosity. I really appreciate all that you have done to make learning interactive and a unique experience for my students. The chance to express themselves through art will hopefully open their eyes to new possibilities as well as enable them to begin…

Does the World Really Need Another Blog Anthology?

In addition to helping judge this year's Open Laboratory science blogging anthology, I'm also the production editor (i.e., typesetting jockey). So as I go through, reading the entries in much greater detail than I ever would otherwise, I'm noticing a couple of things: All of the pieces are either about biology, or professional "life in science" stuff. Geology is represented this year by Kim's piece and my own, and is actually in good shape relative to physics and chemistry. But that's not saying much - the volume as a whole is very life-centric. Some of the pieces, um, I'm not sure what the…

My new toy: the GÃ¶mbÃ¶c

I'm not really one for collecting things. The fact that I move around a lot twinned with the pathetic size of British homes, doesn't square well with building up much of anything. I finally dumped all my CDs last summer; I give away my books when I'm done with them. Plus, I always felt that collecting things was for people with more money than they knew what to do with. Nevertheless, my current bedroom is as anonymous as a hotel room, and so I thought I should do what every self-repecting gentleman scholar did in times gone by: build myself a cabinet of curiosities. As the name suggests…

Cali Cars and CO2

OK I'm back from the west coast where we visited friends, family and the desert. My laptop has been resurrected and NO MORE RERUNS, I promise. Also I've seen that trackback spam has evolved (well perhaps intelligently evolved is closer to the truth). Northern California was great (although in the past few weeks a bit wet). If I had sum up southern California in a word it would be "car", but in reality L.A. is quite elusive and massive. After parading around LA for a couple of days we saw a great documentary at the Egyptian, called L.A. Plays Itself. It's a tad on the long side, but for…

California Propositions

So we're getting ready for another round of California's dysfunctional government by proposition. The ballot will include a proposal for Louisiana-style open primaries, in which the top two vote-getters proceed to a runoff in November. It doesn't strike me as an intuitively awful idea, as it might make it easier to elect non-wingnuts to the legislature, and perhaps easier for candidates more closely aligned with third parties to get elected in places like San Francisco or Berkeley. In researching the matter, it turns out that the experience in Louisiana and Washington has been weaker…

The Dubious Science of Teacher Coaching: "An Interaction-Based Approach to Enhancing Secondary School Instruction and Student Achievement"

A while back, I Links Dumped Josh Rosenau's Post Firing Bad Teachers Doesn't Create good Teachers, arguing that rather than just firing teachers who need some improvement, schools should look at, well, helping them improve. This produced a bunch of scoffing in a place I can't link to, basically taking the view that people are either good at what they do, or they're not, and if they're not, you just fire them and hire somebody else. I was too busy to respond at the time, but marked that doen as something to come back to. So I was psyched when I saw this paper in Science about a scientific…

OK, I'm convinced. The gold standard is a bad idea.

I mentioned in an earlier post on Ron Paul that one of the policies he advocates that I do support is a return gold standard. I used to think this for two reasons -- both moral rather than economic principles, but after reading a post by Megan McArdle I changed my mind. The two reasons that I fundamentally distrust fiat money are the following: 1) In contrast to a great many people, I consider money a moral good. Honest people trade the value of their labor through the means of money, and in a fiat money system that moral standard is degraded. Money is a far superior means of trade than…

Your Friday Dose of Woo: It's not just homeopathy, it's quantum homeopathy!

While thinking about ways to make the blog better, I wondered if I should emulate some of my colleagues, many of whom have regular features every week, often on Friday. And, since I usually get a little less serious on Fridays anyway (and, because traffic seems to fall off 50% or more anyway regardless of what I post, on the weekends, too), it seemed like a good idea. But I couldn't think of something that ties together the common themes of this blog, yet maintains a suitably Friday-blogging light-hearted feel to it. And then I came across this article: L. R. Milgrom (2006). Towards a New…

Transexual Islam

This week's selection from Islam Online is pretty strange, and involves transexuality and its relationship to Islamic law. Enjoy below the fold.... Question: I have a very strange question. I'am 5 months ago turned to Islam alhamdulillah, I was a non-believer. Now I have a question about my past. There are some answers but they are for a person who is already Muslim. This is the question: I am a female woman in Holland but I was born as a boy, I have the mind and the feelings of a woman here in the Netherlands and also in outer countries they have operations to make this possible. I know…

Double Attack on Cancer

New research at the Institute may offer a sliver of hope for treating “triple-negative” breast cancer. “Triple-negative” refers to the fact that the breast cancer cells are missing the three different receptors targeted by the currently available drugs, for instance Herceptin and steroid hormone blockers. This type of cancer also tends to be fairly aggressive, and the risk of early recurrence is higher than for other types of breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer cells do have other receptors – particularly EGFR, a growth factor receptor that would seem to be a good target for…

Library People at ScienceOnline 2011 (Updated)

Yes, ScienceOnline 2011 is coming up next week already! My how time flies. Just as I did last year and in the tradition of Bora's introductions of the various attendees for the upcoming ScienceOnline 2011 conference, I thought I'd once again list all the library people that are attending. I'm not going to try and introduce each of the library people in any detail, I'll leave that to Bora. I'll just get a list of all of us together in one place. Over the years, there's been a solid tradition of librarians and library people attending Science Online and this year looks to be no exception.…

Around the Web: 21 recent reports relevant to higher education, libraries and librarianship

I'm always interested in the present and future of libraries and higher education. There's a steady stream of reports from various organizations that are broadly relevant to the (mostly academic) library biz but they can be tough to keep track of. I thought I'd aggregate some of those here. Of course I've very likely missed a few, so suggestions are welcome in the comments. I've done a few similar posts recently here and here.

Wanted: high school students to play a lunar geology computer game

tags: moon, lunar geology, NASA, astronomy, computer games, learning through computer games NASA researchers are learning how to design video games and they're looking for high school students to help. They want students between the ages of 13-18 to play an online computer game about lunar geology and they want high school teachers to help recruit the students. What's in it for the students? Players are guided through Selene by the director of the Center for Educational Technologies, Chuck Wood, an internationally known lunar geologist who writes a monthly column on the moon for Sky and…

ScienceOnline2010 - introducing the participants

As you know you can see everyone who's registered for the conference, but I highlight 4-6 participants every day as this may be an easier way for you to digest the list. You can also look at the Program so see who is doing what. Jean-Claude Bradley is a professor of Chemistry at Drexel University. He runs the Open Notebook Science wiki for his lab, blogs on Useful Chemistry and tweets. He is one of two people who will not just attend for the fourth time, but also present for the fourth time. At the next conference, Jean-Claude will give an Ignite-style talk "Games in Open Science Education…

Friday Blog Roundup

Bloggers are thinking about food: Elizabeth Cooney at White Coat Notes reports on a study in Boston and Philadelphia that finds food prices outstripping food stamps. Robert McClure at Dateline Earth points us to a new report that suggests giving fishermen property rights may help imperiled fish stocks. Jennifer Jacquet at Shifting Baselines argues for eliminating harmful fishing subsidies as a way to encourage more small-scale fisheries, which are less destructive than their large-scale counterparts. Ezra Klein responds to Big Cornâs commercials defending high-fructose corn syrup. Tom…

Science Blogging Conference update

As you are probably aware, behind the scenes we are busily working on the organization of the 2nd Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is almost all set up - all that is missing are maps and information about travel, directions, etc. (and the dinner wiki) which will be there by the end of August. We will open the registration on September 1st, but you can always e-mail me with questions or to tell me about your intentions to register. The program is slowly taking shape (go look - we have already lined up some phenomenal people to lead discussions), though I guess there will still be many…

My Picks from ScienceDaily

Tiny Crow Camera Spies On Clever Birds: A new technique developed by Oxford University zoologists enables researchers to 'hitch a ride' with wild birds and witness their natural and undisturbed behaviour. The scientists developed miniaturised video cameras with integrated radio-tags that can be carried by wild, free-flying birds. Using this new 'video-tracking' technology, they spied on the behaviour of New Caledonian crows, a species renowned for its sophisticated use of tools, recording behaviours never seen before.

Harry Potter Separation Anxiety: It Appears We All Have It

I thought I was the only one going through Harry Potter Separation Anxiety (HPSA, the newest disorder to be listed in the DSM), but JK Rowling apparently is, also. "It has been the worst break-up of my life -- far worse than splitting up with any man," claimed Rowling, who divorced from her first husband, Jorge Arantes, a Portuguese TV journalist, in 1993, shortly after their daughter, Jessica, was born. Despite her sadness over the end of…

Teaching the Late Iron Age in Visby

I type these words in a seafood restaurant at the main square of Visby on the island of Gotland. I haven't been here for almost a decade. Today I had the rare pleasure of teaching undergrads. My old grad-school buddy Gunilla Runesson at Visby University College gave me four hours to talk about the Late Iron Age elite, which is what occupied most of my working hours from 1994 until last fall. So I got up at 06:15 this morning, rode a tiny propeller plane across the sea and did three hours on settlements and one hour on graves. Very nice students! Afterwards I walked through the Medieval city…

Book writing not rewarding, on average

From http://www.philcooke.com/book_publishing via mt's shared posts: Here's the reality of the book industry: in 2004, 950,000 titles out of the 1.2 million tracked by Nielsen Bookscan sold fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. Only 25,000 sold more than 5,000 copies. The average book in America sells about 500 copies" (Publishers Weekly, July 17, 2006). And average sales have since fallen much more. According to BookScan, which tracks most bookstore, online, and other retail sales of books, only 299 million books were sold in 2008 in the U.S. in all adult…

"Talking Dogs and Galileian Blogs" at Vanderbilt, Thursday 3/26/15

I mentioned last week that I'm giving a talk at Vanderbilt tomorrow, but as they went to the trouble of writing a press release, the least I can do is share it: It’s clear that this year’s Forman lecturer at Vanderbilt University, Chad Orzel, will talk about physics to almost anyone. After all, two of his popular science books are How to Teach Physics to Your Dog and How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog. Orzel, an associate professor of physics at Union College in New York and author of the ScienceBlog “Uncertain Principles,” is scheduled to speak on campus at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 26. As…
