How NASA Got a ‘ UFO Czar ’ —And Why it Matters
The real czars may be long gone, but for decades, the White House has been doing a good job of keeping the role—or at least the honorific—alive, appointing a director to oversee a particular task or issue, and bestowing the title along with it.

Only NASA didn’t use either one of those terms. [time-brightcove...

Firefighters Fear the Toxic Chemicals in Their Gear Could Be Causing Cancer
BOSTON (AP) — Boston firefighter Daniel Ranahan had heard about colleagues getting cancer but he was stunned when doctors discovered a tumor in his chest. He was only 30 and had been in the Boston Fire Department less than a decade.

But in January NSF had assured Shero that her team would be deployed in October for a full 4 months, and by June she had packed up and shipped out some $200,000 in equipment and supplies. So Shero, a tenure-track assistant scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, was stun...
