| | The science behind the anthrax investigation | | 2008-08-21 20:09:58 | | Most people did not know that the work in Ray Goehner's materials characterization department at Sandia National Laboratories was contributing important information to the FBI's investigation of letters containing bacillus anthracis, the spores that cause the disease anthrax. The spores were mailed in the fall of 2001 to several news media offices and to two U.S. senators. Five people were killed.

| | Ten Ways to Teach Children Science | | 2008-08-17 06:01:49 | | Education experts worry that American children are falling behind in science and math skills. But parents can instill an interest in science by capitalizing on children’s natural curiosity. Science isn’t a complicated, difficult subject – it is all around us. Here are ten ways to find science in everyday life and share science with your children.1) Astronomy. Look up in the sky – there it is. Stars may be out of reach to little ones on the ground, but learning about them isn’t. Use the Internet, or find books that show the constellations, then spend a warm summer evening star gazing. If you have a planetarium in your neighborhood, pay a visit. If not, go to Nasa.gov to find photos, video and lots more. 2) Zoology. Animals are everywhere! Go for a nature walk and see what you find. A trip to the pet store can also be informative. Visit the zoo for a close-up look at animals, and check beforehand to see when you and your child can enjoy a lecture or feeding time. 3) En | | By: Educational & Fun Toys | | |
| | Do Reason, Logic And Science Destroy The Foundations Of Christianity? | | 2008-08-15 11:10:00 | | Everywhere you go on the internet, and I mean EVERYWHERE, there are debates going on about Christianity. There are thousands upon thousands of "intellectuals", atheists, skeptics, philosophers and other self-appointed "experts" who constantly claim that faith and reason are mutually exclusive, and that those who are skeptical of the Christian faith are the ones who have the intellectual high ground.Now when skeptics attack most religions, they DO have the intellectual high ground. For when one closely examines such "faiths" as Islam or Hinduism one does find that logic, reason and real, hard evidence are directly contradictory to these belief systems.However, Christianity is the one faith that is different. It is our assertion that there is no conflict between Christianity and the truth.If you look into it, Christianity has a MOUNTAIN of evidence. Those who have really studied these things know the truth.Dr. Simon Greenleaf (Harvard University - one of the greatest professors of Law in | | By: Shattered Paradigm | | |

| Stimulate Your Children Brain with Science Toys | | 2008-08-14 23:20:23 | | If you are good parents and you are so caring about what your children are playing at home and in their schools too, you must be concerned about types of toys that are suitable for your children brain development.
I myself are very worried about the toys of my kids at home and in hist kindergarten too. It is easy to control all types of games and toys at home but a bit hard to do that at his school. However, I conducted a meeting among parents of these children with kindergarten management board to discuss and raise funds to buy new toys and games for our children. These toys are a bit more expensive than the previous ones but they have been rated the best selling toys in my country for several years.
These toys are sorted in different categories to match preference of boys and girls and contribution is enough to cover all of these toys and games. Further, the parents association also decided to order 60% of them are science toys that would really stimulate our kids' brain developmen | | By: Blogging for Blogs | | |

| | Science Fiction: Sometimes it's wrong. | | 2008-08-02 19:00:00 | | Browsing through today, I discovered a very interesting website that discusses the errors within science fiction, particularly in TV and movies. Some of these errors are, quite frankly, rather stupid on the part of the creators. Such as:In the Star Trek Voyager episode "The Fight", Voyager encounters a Negative Space Wedgie that is "2 light years across". They start "11,000 km" away from it and yet, the whole phenomenon is visible on the viewscreen. As the Agony Booth review of this episode points out, this is exactly like "putting your nose on the ground, and still being able to see the whole landscape from horizon to horizon" except...you know...even worse. The thing also looks about as big as Voyager when it engulfs it, which might make slightly more sense (for a given value of "sense") since Voyager is apparently the size of a planet.Yup, that's Star Trek. There are even a few related to literature. Such as: The original Dune series was set 10,000 years (human history goes back | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| | The Science of Flirting | | 2008-07-26 17:20:00 | | There's something so intrinsic about flirting that even in a relationship it is hard not resist. Simply looking at some of my friends, for instance, one might wonder why he continues to flirt when with (or at the very least, dating) someone. Turns out, the intrinsicness comes from our genes and the ways in which our bodies function...Why We Flirt: The Science of SexBy: Brie CadmanIt’s so natural, we barely even notice we do it. Tilting a head to expose the neck, smiling or laughing at something that really wasn’t funny, moving closer to the person making unfunny jokes, mimicking their actions. Our body language is perhaps the most subtle expression of what we’re really thinking and feeling, and is a crucial component of the courting dance known as flirting.Though cheesy pick-up lines abound, a lot is conveyed even before words are uttered.

A new Carnegie Mellon University study sheds light on the reasons why low-income lottery players eagerly invest in a product that provides poor returns.

| | 10 Scientific Blockbusters that Didn't Follow Science. | | 2008-07-25 03:48:00 | | Movie is still movie. It's more to the purpose as entertainment. If everything must based on logic and scientific fact, the movie would be no more taste. However, here's the articles from Katy Y where she posted in Yahoo Buzz. It's a very interesting post, where she had pointed 10 blockbusters that had ignored science. Here we share...."If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they'd probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn't explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis/Jackie Chan/Will Smith would most likely be in a coma after getting kicked in the head. Some movies, though, put science front and center in the story and more often than not the science proves to be head-slappingly bad. Here are some of the worst offenders. Armageddon.

| | The Science of Santa | | 2008-07-13 14:30:00 | | You know, as silly as this list might be, it's really fascinating that someone did all the math and physics for this. Just this one alone is impressive:3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops t | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |

| | | The Science of Sarcasm | | 2008-06-05 07:08:03 | | From the New York Times:
There was nothing very interesting in Katherine P. Rankin’s
study of sarcasm — at least, nothing worth your important
time. All she did was use an M.R.I. to find the place in the brain
where the ability to detect sarcasm resides. But then, you probably
already knew it was in the right parahippocampal gyrus.
What you may not have realized is that perceiving sarcasm, the
smirking put-down that buries its barb by stating the opposite,
requires a nifty mental trick that lies at the heart of social
relations: figuring out what others are thinking. Those who lose
the ability, whether through a head injury or the frontotemporal
dementias afflicting the patients in Dr. Rankin’s study, just
do not get it when someone says during a hurricane, “Nice
weather we’re having.” | | By: MindMods CogSciTech Biofeedback & Neurofeedbac | | |

| | Dinosaurs Alive at the Science Centre | | 2008-06-01 07:19:02 | | Today we visited the new exhibition at the Science Centre, Singapore. It was the opening day today and I have never seen the museum so busy. In the past I have walked straight up to the ticket counter to purchase tickets, but today I had to queue up for twenty minutes. It is a Sunday and also local school holidays, so I should have been expecting it. Dinosaurs are still able to capture the imagination of both children and adults. Ever since the first dinosaur fossils were found in the early 20th century, the mystery and and mythology of dinosaurs has enthralled people worldwide. In fact, only a tiny percentage of dinosaur species have been discovered, so paleantologists suggest there could be thousands more species to discover.Entrance to the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit is included with your entrance fee, which is just as well as it is quite small. Quite nicely set out though, with most of the models having moving parts and loud growls to bring them to life. There is also a T-Rex replica s | | By: SINGAPORE KIDS PLACES | | |
| | | | Can science and God ever get along? | | 2008-05-27 07:57:00 | | Can science and God ever get along?Shared faith: what string theory and the belief in a divine entity might have in commonTim Hames This Bank Holiday weekend is often referred to as “Whitsun”. In truth, it has not been, except by coincidence, for more than four decades. Whitsun, or the Pentecost, refers to the moment, seven weeks after Easter Sunday, when the Holy Spirit supposedly descended on the Apostles and other followers of Jesus – as set out in Acts, 2. It should, therefore, like Easter, be a variable, rather than a fixed, date in the calendar. In 2008 it would have been celebrated by a day off a fortnight ago. Bank Holidays were set like this until 1967 when the arrangement was replaced by a new Spring Bank Holiday at the end of May. This has not stopped it being referred to as Whitsun, much as some people in London still refer to where they live as Middlesex. It is a strange way to treat the Almighty.

A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love (Hardcover)By Richard Dawkins
Buy new: $24.00 $17.7645 used and new from $2.99
Editorial Reviews Richard Dawkins has an opinion on everything biological, it seems, and in A Devil's Chaplain, everything is biological. Dawkins weighs in on topics as diverse as ape rights, jury trials, religion, and education, all examined through the lens of natural selection and evolution. Although many of these essays have been published elsewhere, this book is something of a greatest-hits compilation, reprinting many of Dawkins' most famous recent compositions. They are well worth re-reading. His 1998 review of Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont's Fashionable Nonsense is as bracing an indictment of academic obscurantism as the book it covered, although the review reveals some of Dawkins' personal biases as well. Several essays are devoted to skillfully debunking religion and mysticism, and these are likely to raise the hackles of even casua | | By: Store Books Cheap | | |

The program combines classroom instruction with outdoor experiences within the Hackensack Watershed.Twenty-eight middle and high school science and social studies teachers will receive sponsorships to participate in the program. Teachers will roll-up their sleeves and explore forested and field habitats as well as freshwater streams and tidal salt marshes with environmental educators and naturalists. The discovery techniques will help teachers understand how they can extend their classrooms to the outdoors and offer students hands-on lessons about geology, watershed dynamics, habitat health, land use and human-ecosystems dependencies.
