Contraceptive pill not to blame for feminized fish – Despite claims that excreted contraceptive hormones are causing endocrine disruption in aquatic animals evidence suggests that this is not the case. Dark Energy, Dark Matter – What is the difference between dark energy and dark matter? NASA explains…even though they don't know what either is. Two sides to every story – even the Lord of the Rings – What if we were to look at Tolkien's epic from Mordor's perspective? Gandalf is a war-monger intent on crushing the scientific and technological initiative of Mordor and its southern allies because scie...

Scientists have figured, through charting stars and galaxy clusters, that the universe is expanding. Space itself is widening and getting larger and larger. This goes against the expectation, which would be that the Continue reading Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and The Great Mystery (Source: Cancer, life, and me) Cancer, life, and me blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4545162 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:00:36 +0100 4545162 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4203183&cid=t_242912_107_f&fid=36672&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FSciencebaseScienceBlog%2F%7E3%2FrxNokmfSDr4%2Fsix-science-books-for-the-holiday-season.html subjects as diverse as molecular biology pioneer Sydney Brenner, the question of antimatter, how scientists can better explain their research to non-scientists, a history of the chemical elements, scientific feuds and how innovators exploit business and technology trends. Minitrends – Minitrends are emerging trends that promise to become significantly important within 2-5 years, but are not generally recognized. Unlike megatrends or microtrends, Minitrends are of a scope and importance to offer attractive opportunities to individuals and businesses of all sizes. The one that caught my eye is mention of nanotechnology and how it could be used in water purification and to make "fake" bone (I think they mean "artificial")! Scientific Feuds – Most science his...

I picture all those who study celestial mechanics (a type of mathematician that studies how planets and stars and comets go around and around and around and…) to be dressed in their own special coveralls, first names embroidered on patches above their hearts, and sprinkled with stardust. Or comet-dust or dark matter, if you have no overly-romantic bent. Now there I go again… what did I mean to say? Good morning! I am off to enjoy my tea. Morning tea, just brewing in the Bauhaus glass pot Comet and Earth to Have Rare Close Encounter (space.com) How Halley&... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4036882 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:39:00 +0100 4036882 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2441690&cid=t_242912_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F05%2F28%2Fself-esteem-in-recession-six-steps-to-recovery%2F Seven Steps To Accept A Compliment With Grace. Why is a compliment almost as hard to take as criticism? When I was a kid my well-intentioned Mom taught me to discredit compliments. “Oh, no, I’m not pretty, clever, smart, nice…” To do otherwise would be conceited, a cardinal sin to a young Catholic girl. Q: What’s the result of too much compliment denial? A) A starving, shriveled self-esteem dying for some good nurturing, B) A great big gap is left in your self-esteem (where the compliment would go) that is filled with bad, abusive junk, C) You risk annoying your relatives and friends who just want you to see what they see, or, (you guessed it) D) All of the above. If we refuse to let people tell us how fabulous we are where does that leave us? It leaves us wi...
