Culturing Science – biology as relevant to us earthly beings. Developing a scientific worldview: why it’s hard and what we can do. While performing monotonous, brainless tasks at work, I’ve begun the habit of listening to podcasts. And let my friends tell you: have I been listening to WNYC’s Radiolab. About the theory of relativity and how, well, time is relative. Jad asks the question: “What do you with this information? Text cannot do Radiolab justice; listen to the 2-minute clip below:. When I look at...

AzaraBeauty: augustus 2010
http://azarabeauty.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Dinsdag 31 augustus 2010. Gister brak dan toch die dag aan. Na /- 2 maanden van niks doen en genieten van het vrij zijn, moest ik gisteren weer aan de bak. Zoals sommige van jullie misschien wel weten zit ik op een dansacademie. Dit betekent dat ik nooit in de banken zit te leren, maar altijd in een studio sta te dansen. En gister was het dus weer zover. De eerste dag. Op een eerste dag neem ik graag wat langer de tijd 's ochtends (eerste indruk is belangrijk toch? Op naar mijn EOTD van gister:. Als je e...

Inevitability and Oil, Pt. 1: the inherent risk for accidents in complex technology | Culturing Science - biology as relevant to us earthly beings
https://culturingscience.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/inevitability-and-oil-pt-1
Culturing Science – biology as relevant to us earthly beings. Inevitability and Oil, Pt. 1: the inherent risk for accidents in complex technology. When I read updates on blogs or the news about the BP oil spill, my expression is generally very serious: furrowed brow, pursed lips which I’m probably chewing in alternation with gnawing a nail. But last week I laughed out loud, a true LOL, a brash guffaw. (“What? 8221; my labmates inquired.). I had read this New York Times article. When talking about risk th...

A radical source of antibiotic resistance… | Mental Indigestion
https://mentalindigestion.net/2010/02/14/a-radical-source-of-antibiotic-resistance
A radical source of antibiotic resistance…. A FEW years ago, a Boston University team headed by Jim Collins published findings that suggested the means by which bactericidal antibiotics result in cell death. Rather than the cause being the cellular target of the drug, the team showed it was the secondary effects of stimulating the production of hydroxyl radicals, a reactive oxygen species. There was also some question of whether it was adequately demonstrated that the oxidative stress was a. Strains were...
