Recently I wrote about the vampire squid. And I argued that I really didn’t have to look any further for a more flashy, eye-grabbing title. Recently named it one of the top 10 new species of 2010. Many of your pet store variety fishes are in this group of carps and carp-like fishes. Just the male has these fangs. It is completely unknown. So, the...

Earth and the other planets we know and love are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. These super massive black holes are probably formed by merging smaller black holes. Smaller black holes ar...

Global warming, climate change, rising sea-level…oh my. Some believe it is real, some believe it is a myth. Regardless of what you believe, it seems we hear about it constantly these days. You cannot escape it. Our kids’ kids? So, it is wonderfully reassuring to read a story where we find we can still make a d...

I don't know all the answers. I don't even know all the questions. But, together we can try to figure them out. Science is for everyone. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Ever wonder why there is a plethora of pigeons frequenting most downtown areas and not a bunch of smaller, nicer, or prettier birds? Why study bird brains?

The old adage, you get what you pay for, still applies here, and if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The s...
