Urban growers go high-tech to feed city dwellers - (USA)
Terry Fujimoto sees the future of agriculture in the exposed roots of the leafy greens he and his students grow in thin streams of water at a campus greenhouse. The program run by the California State Polytechnic University agriculture professor is part of a growing effort to use hydroponics — a method of cultivating plants in water instead of soil — to bring farming into cities, where consumers are concentrated. Because hydroponic farming requires less water and less land than traditional

Why does Impact Factor persist most strongly in smaller countries - (USA)
The other night, at the meeting of the Science Communicators of North Carolina, the highlight of the event was a Skype conversation with Chris Brodie who is currently in Norway on a Fulbright, trying to help the scientists and science journalists there become more effective in communicating Norwegian science to their constituents and internationally. Some of the things Chris said were surprising, others not as much. In my mind, I was comparing what he said to what I learned back in April when

Nowtopia: A new politics of work - (USA)
Nowtopia is a book about a new politics of work. It profiles tinkerers, inventors, and improvisational spirits who bring an artistic approach to important tasks that are ignored or undervalued by market society. Rooted in practices that have been emerging over the past few decades, Nowtopia’s exploration of work locates an important thread of self-emancipatory class politics beyond the traditional arena of wage-labor.

Technology in Early Years - (USA)
I, an only child, was brought to life October 28, 1925, by my mom, Ceil Kay. No one in my family had ever even thought about a career in technology or, for that matter, math or science. What headed me that way? I was exposed to the technology of the day with little understanding of how it had evolved or where it was heading. Only in hindsight can I evaluate the evolution of technology and realize how it affected society and me, a little boy in that era. When I was four years old, Dad and Mom an

Chinese Statistical Reporting. Form Letters Run Amok - (USA)
For anyone looking for statistics in China, a trip to the local library can be a fruitful adventure where volumes of the National Bureau of Statistics guides sit. I myself was introduced to these guides 5 years ago when researching 20 2nd tier cities. Day after day I was pouring through the tomes (some in English, others in Chinese) and extracted data points that would go into the model. It was an eye numbing experience to say the least, but an eye opener in the sense of I began to see just h

Steve Case is at the same time a very personal man and one whose ambitions have carried him into a very public spotlight, some times more often than he would like. The softly spoken 51-year-old will probably be best remembered for his role in the catastrophic failure of AOL Time Warner, the company which he chaired during the much maligned “dot com” era. Indeed, to this day, ramifications of what was intended to be a media conglomerate megadeal, but which turned into an unmitigated disaster, rev
