The following program is for anyone interested in the world around them.
The history, the future, the inner workings of complicated things…
This is a place for the curious, the clever, and the ever-restless mind.
A sanctuary of reason
A walled garden of delightful thoughts
An ivory tower of intellectually intrepid thinking
From here, you can see it all…
Above the clouds, below the ground
Everything in between and
Everything beyond
Eliminating the unreal
To reveal the real
The actual
The true
and verifiable
The ultimate mirror of existence
reflected off the unbiased surface of the scientific method
It is time once again to talk about everything that is going on
This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!
Life & SATURN
Life may or may not be possible in the oceans of Titan, but a deep learning approach to looking at life called SATURN might help us understand more about genes & species evolution.
Also, the “All of Us” program reported new analyses of 245,000 genomes and the addition of new genetic markers, specifically increasing our genomic and health-related data for historically underrepresented groups
Bogs, Boats, and Beatings
life in ancient Denmark
Bulls & Balls
Genes from infertile bulls could help treat infertility in men. Meanwhile, researchers elsewhere are growing mouse testes in a dish.
ADHD
The out-of-Africa theory
Propagandist AI
Surprising to no one, a study finds that AI can be used for propaganda purposes.
