Category: Science

I used to be a scientist, but I had to give it up. The signs had been sent and only a fool ignores three in a row. No matter, I was still trained as a scientist and appreciate science both for its accomplishments and for its frailties. Here I keep references to science that interests me, perhaps it gives me a story idea, or is something I’ve already used. This is where I comment upon it.

    todropscience: The Narrownose chimaera (Harriotta raleighana), occurs in deep waters of the continental slopes in depths of 380 to 2,600 m in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.  They are oviparous but nothing is known of spawning and reproduction and very few juveniles have been collected. It was filmed swimming 10 m above the seafloor in Hydrographer Canyon, off the coast of Nantucket Island in the US....

    why-animals-do-the-thing: koryos: Dominance Behavior in Canids I didn’t really even WANT to make a post about this. The alpha-beta-omega model of wolf packs is dead in scientific literature, hammered into the ground, so to speak, and it’s been dead for over ten years. So why am I still hearing about it on TV and reading about it in articles?...

  • When scientists hoard data, no one can tell what works

    mostlysignssomeportents: Peer review and replication are critical to the scientific method, but in medical trials, a combination of pharma company intransigence and scientists’ fear of being pilloried for human error means that the raw data that we base life-or-death decisions upon is routinely withheld, meaning that the errors lurk undetected in the data for years – and sometimes forever. In an outstanding article for Buzzfeed, Ben “Bad Pharma” Goldacre tries to untangle the complex web of phenomena that results in trial-data secrecy, while conveying the urgency of independent auditing of that data. Adversarial peer review is the process by which your friends point out your errors and your enemies call you an idiot for making them....

    sci-universe: An untethered miniature origami robot that self-folds, walks, swims, and degrades has been created by a team of the department of informatics, Technische Universitat in Germany and the computer science and artificial intelligence lab at MIT! Unfolded, the robot has a magnet and PVC sandwiched between laser-cut structural layers (polystyrene or paper). When placed on a heating element, the PVC contracts, and where the structural layers have been cut, it creates folds – so this is how the origami part works....

    theolduvaigorge: Alzheimer’s Origins Tied to Rise of Human Intelligence: Factors that drove the evolution of our intellectual capacity are also implicated in the memory disorder by Nala Rogers Alzheimer’s disease may have evolved alongside human intelligence, researchers report in a paper posted this month on BioRxiv. The study finds evidence that 50,000 to 200,000 years ago, natural selection drove changes in six genes involved in brain development. This may have helped to increase the connectivity of neurons, making modern humans smarter as they evolved from their hominin ancestors....

    mostlysignssomeportents: How metadata compromises you “It’s only metadata,” is the catch-all excuse for mass surveillance – after all, if spies aren’t capturing what your message says why should you care if they’re getting who sent it, what its subject line is, where you and the sender are, and everything you do before and after receiving the message? Privacy International’s “Metadata” demolishes the rationalizations for mass surveillance in four short minutes. It’s a beautiful exploration of a vital subject....
