Are Essential Oils Essential?
When it comes to food, the colors you see in plants provide powerful information. They often signal the rich nutrient density of the plant. When you look at a blueberry and see that color, you see delphinidin-3-galactoside. When you look at a carrot and see that color, you see beta carotene. Our eyes are adapted to notice the critical nutrients in food. The flavor molecules that we taste and seek after in plants are often important molecules for our health. That’s why our tongue is adapted to taste them.
The color in food can also be a sign that the plant is dangerous, like a poisonous berry. It’s meant to alert us...

A Different Look at After-Tax Income Inequality
Every presidential candidate promises to “reduce income inequality” by raising tax rates on the rich and increasing transfer payments (including tax credits and in-kind benefits) for the middle class. Yet the widely-usedflawed data from Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saezexcludeboth taxes and transfers. Income measures that exclude taxes and transfers cannot tell us whether taxes or transfers are high or low, and cannot be directly affected by higher taxes on some or higher transfers to others (because such policies are ignored in the data).A simple table adapted from the 2017 Consumer Expenditure Survey, from the Bu...

A year of mothing
It’s a year to the day since I first got bitten by the mothing bug, as it were. Initially, it was all about seeing what turned up at the scientific trap and trying to get a photo or two of anything interesting. I did keep a record of new species and I think had logged and photographed approximately 130 of the 2600 or so species we see in the British Isles by the end of the long, hot summer of 2018 and into the winter.
Canary-shouldered Thorn, first one of 2019 for me
I kept on lighting up until well into December in the vain hope of spotting some of the late autumn and early winter moths with marvellous names such as...

Everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.
Many of my friends in the Reality Based Community are very puzzled by the adulation given by what seems to be an irreducible 39% of Americans to a man who is a massive failure as a businessman, who squandered a fortune given to him by his father only to be given another one; who squandered the second fortune and turned to supporting himself by laundering money for Russian gangsters and appearing on Nonreality TV as a fictitious version of himself; who is a racist who launched his political career promoting the racist lie that Barack Obama was not born in the United States; a serial sexual predator; an ignoramus; a patholog...

CTs, MRIs, Ultrasounds: Differences, Risk & Benefits
What is a CT Scan?
A machine whirs in an arc around a patient, snapping a rapid-fire series of x-rays from different angles. These x-ray snapshots are combined by a computer to produce virtual cross-section images of the body. These are called CT scans, which stands for computed tomography (computer-generated cross-sectional images).
CT Scans Compared to Ultrasounds and MRIs
When the CT scan was first introduced in the 1970s it caused something of a revolution in medicine, allowing doctors to see the inner structure of the body in a way that had been previously hidden – without surgery. Parents often wonder which is more...

Opportunity Zones: Big Win for Landowners
The Republican Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 created 8,700 “opportunity zones” across the country, which receive special capital gains tax breaks. O Zones have divided our cities and towns into winner and loser zones, while encouraging political corruption.O Zones are supposed to alleviate poverty, but the main beneficiaries are likely to be certain landowners within the politically chosen zones. When governments alter the profitability of parcels of land through taxes and regulations, changes in expected future returns are capitalized into current land prices. Markets are forward looking.News articles have highlighted...

1973: The Year John Kenneth Galbraith Made Socialism Mainstream
I started writing about economic issues in 1971, first inReason thenNational Review. One of my most serious early articles –and certainly the most unread– was a 2800-word critique of John Kenneth Galbraith inThe Intercollegiate Review, posing as a book review with the mildly disrespectful title “Irrelevant Anachronism. ” Ken Galbraith and I met years later, when he was invited to comment about my presentation at a1987 debate at Harvard [recorded by C-Span] about “The Disappearing Middle Class” on a panel with Lester Thurow, Barry Bluestone and Frank Levy. In Paul Krugman ’s ill-tempered 1994 book,Pe...

To moth or not to moth? That is the question
I had a discussion recently with a former moth-er who disposed of her trap after having an ethical pang of conscience about all the moths she had been disturbing over the years. She suggested that there are hundreds of thousands of people trapping all over the country and that we’re interfering with reproduction cycles by doing so. I felt her opinion was at best misguided.
My immediate thought was that that number was way off. I know two other people in this village of 7000 or so who trap regularly, as do I, but this is quite a sciencey village, close to Cambridge, so could be exceptional. There’d have to be 3-...
