Beware brain scientists bearing gifts (gee-whiz journalists too…) - (USA)
Knowing what not to report is just as important for journalists as knowing what to write. We’re inundated with handouts about some pioneering new scientific research or insightful new book. Should we write about it? It’s refreshing to hear experts who can dazzle you with their work but warn against falling for any hype about it. This “let’s not overdo it” approach has been a recurrent theme in the Neuroscience Boot Camp I’m attending at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. (P

Caine reveals Italian Job ending - (USA)
The mystery of The Italian Job's cliff-hanger has been resolved after almost 40 years by Sir Michael Caine. The 1969 film ends with a gang of gold thieves hanging over a ravine in a bus. Every step they take towards the loot threatens to tip them into the abyss. "Hang on lads, I've got a great idea," says Sir Michael's character, Charlie Croker... and then the credits roll. The star says he would have saved them by "switching on the engine", burning off petrol until it righted itself

Archive: Funding Science 16/03/08 - (USA)
I've been thinking a lot about science funding lately, not least because of several blog posts by Kate, Drug Monkey and Dr. Free-Ride. I was wondering if there are ever specific philosophies of science funding by government (in a similar way to there being various political philosophies about the size of government, tax, welfare and the like). I can think of several approaches to answering the question 'how should we fund science'. By definition science would include all research done by scienti

SHORT FICTION: Paying It Forward - (USA)
by Michael A. Burstein Analog, September 2003 Nominee, 2004 Hugo Award for Best Short Story I’m dying. No one knows it yet. Having never married, I have no family to mourn my passing. I do have my fans, who would probably turn out in droves to say farewell if I had chosen to let them know in advance. But in the twilight of my time, I want to face this final passage alone. Of course, I’m not completely alone. I still have my mentor, Carl Lambclear. I’ll email him tonight, and he’ll email m

LOCKOUT • by Robert Hamill - (USA)
Larry shivered as he ran across the boulevard that separated the neighborhoods. His green windbreaker had been enough earlier in the sun, but not with the temperature dropping to the low 50s. His watch blinked 10:08. Damn! His school night curfew was 10. Sheldon’s galcit rocket was so cool–eighteen inches long, aluminum body, steel fins, annealed nozzle–that Larry forgot he was three miles from home and not just across the street at Jimmy’s house. Sheldon planned a big launch Saturday, on the

She is going to do her very best to tell you everything you need to know about writing a chemistry research paper, but you should forgive any lackluster attitude, as she also failed organic chemistry miserably back in high school. That is what literature lovers do: they fail out of chemistry. Bearing that in mind, however, chemistry is an intrigu

Yellowstone Supervolcano and the President - (USA)
I majored in geology in college. Never did anything with it beyond that (didn’t want to move to Houston or Riyadh or become an academic) but it helped to satisfy some childhood rock-collecting obsessions, allowed me to be outdoors a lot and smash things with hammers and I got to hang out with some very cool people, several of whom are still good friends. Beyond the 101 level, the discipline is definitely not ‘rocks for jocks’. It forces one to think through complex, multi-dimensional* proble
