The disappointment
From BBC News, it is believed that the flavanols in chocolate are likely being removed during the manufacturing process. So it’s not a good for you as one would hope.
Brief BioI was born and raised in Kalamazoo MI. I earned my bachelors of science in biology from Western Michigan University. I met and fell in love with a big goof of a man named Cliff. I have a fat lazy cat named Kerby and a dog named Bear. |
Fire
A look at how deadwood beetles helps with the recovery after forest fires. The pile of dung that they product seems to increase soil microbial activity. This adds nutrients to the soil and helps plants regenerate.
With forest fires an increasing in damage to property, there is a need for prescribed fires. There is a course teaches how to create these fires.
Biologist fired for beliefs, suit says
From Boston.com, The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has fired a guy for not working on a project that he was hired for because it dealt with evolution. The courts will decide this.
The thing that I have trouble understanding is these ultra-Christians that spend the time, effort and money to get advance degrees in the sciences. And willfully remain ignorant of the basic science they are studying. To me this seems that they would have no passion for the subject that they are studying. For me when I read about some new thing that they uncovered about bacteria, I become enthralled by the need to get the details of this neat, new discovery. The idea that there is a stunting of curiosity, where the wonder of the universe is shunted aside by dogma, when curiosity should soar boundless, is just wrong.
For me science is magic. From the tiniest bacteria to the spiraling of gases in deepest space, there is a beauty and a beating of the heart that is indescribable. The recent hypothesis about the origin of life is an example. Mica may have acted as cell walls, where advanced organic chemistry could have taken place, leave me breathless.
Between water and rock
From Physorg.com, I’m not entirely sure about this(the article does not make this clear), but I think this research looks at nano-sized particles of iron oxides and the interaction with other metals. It emphasizes how these nanoparticles will effect remediation projects.
