This may be the most acute Sapir-Whorf example I know of, that calling a “green” traffic light “green” was enough to make me ignore what my own eyes were telling me for my entire life. Green traffic lights are a beautiful indescribable turquoise, the most intense turquoise you’ve ever seen.

You’ll feel crazy once you see it, and want to run around telling everyone. Green traffic lights not only aren’t green, but they’re also exquisitely beautiful. My commute home the afternoon I learned about this was transcendent. I felt like my life suddenly had an entirely new sensation. How could I never have noticed? Green traffic lights are anti-memetic because you only stare at a traffic light when it’s red.</blockquote>]]></description>

In the second and third, it pretty much always has been as well, though here it becomes more important to recognize the “disunity of science” and that it’s not just a question of Science(!) being political but of particular bits of science (whether it’s AIDS research or nuclear physics or the economics of climate change). And here, it’s possible that some bits of science were not political (or less political) in some sense at some point in time. That is, there may have periods of time where certain kinds of science had very little impact on the allocation of resources and power in society, and/or were not front and center in the debates of explicitly political institutions and actors.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>characterizing this as “pandemic revenge,” because “as far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.” Can you expand on that?
I’ve spent a lot of time studying the infrastructure of climate-change denial. I interviewed the then-head of the Heartland Institute, Joseph Bast — a University of Chicago trained economist — back in 2011 about why he’d decided to make climate change denial the main mission. He said that they realized that if the science was true, that anything would be justified by way of regulation. Very, very robust regulation. And so, he said, “We took another look at the science.”  

I thought, “Oh, that’s an extraordinarily honest thing to say.” It was very motivated reasoning. If the science is true, everything that they do at the Heartland Institute — which is argue for more deregulation of markets and more privatization — would be in jeopardy.  
I’ve been seeing parallels in the backlash against Covid public-health measures. Something extraordinary happened in the United States. In the name of saving the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society — the elderly, the disabled, immunocompromised — shopping malls were closed, factories too. Not for very long, but the first move was to lock down. 
The decision was made to put lives ahead of markets. And I’m not sure I ever thought I would live to see that.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>It's orange, it's sticky, and it's probably the last thing you want to talk about in polite conversation. Yet earwax is increasingly attracting the attention of scientists, who want to use it to learn more about diseases and conditions like cancer, heart disease, and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. 

The proper name for the gloopy stuff is cerumen, and it's a mix of secretions from two types of glands that line the outer ear canal; the ceruminous and sebaceous glands. The resulting goo is mixed with hair, dead skin flakes, and other bodily debris until it reaches the waxy consistency we all know and try our best not to think about. 

Once formed in the ear canal, the substance is transported by a kind of conveyer belt mechanism, clinging on to skin cells as they travel from the inside of the ear to the outside – which they do at a speed of approximately one 20th of a millimetre every day.</blockquote>]]></description>

But glass has a density of around 2500 kilograms per cubic meter, and crystalline silicon dioxide (quartz) is around 2650. Silica gel, on the other hand, is more like 700 kilograms per cubic meter.

In the western and tropical Pacific, the tuna fishery went from minuscule to the world’s largest (in terms of total catch) within a decade of recognizing that tuna school around large collections of driftwood—and then seeking out this bait. In the late 1990s, Spanish fishers in the eastern Atlantic even began to enhance natural driftwood with artificial logs to attract more tuna</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>It is a familiar story: a small group of animals living in a wooded grassland begin, against all odds, to populate Earth. At first, they occupy a specific ecological place in the landscape, kept in check by other species. Then something changes. The animals find a way to travel to new places. They learn to cope with unpredictability. They adapt to new kinds of food and shelter. They are clever. And they are aggressive.

In the new places, the old limits are missing. As their population grows and their reach expands, the animals lay claim to more territories, reshaping the relationships in each new landscape by eliminating some species and nurturing others. Over time, they create the largest animal societies, in terms of numbers of individuals, that the planet has ever known. And at the borders of those societies, they fight the most destructive within-species conflicts, in terms of individual fatalities, that the planet has ever known.

This might sound like our story: the story of a hominin species, living in tropical Africa a few million years ago, becoming global. Instead, it is the story of a group of ant species, living in Central and South America a few hundred years ago, who spread across the planet by weaving themselves into European networks of exploration, trade, colonisation and war – some even stowed away on the 16th-century Spanish galleons that carried silver across the Pacific from Acapulco to Manila. During the past four centuries, these animals have globalised their societies alongside our own.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Does lightning strike from the sky down, or the ground up?
The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts. Objects on the ground generally have a positive charge under a typical thunderstorm. (The charge that builds up in a small area of the Earth’s surface and the objects on it is determined by the net charge above it since the Earth’s surface is relatively conductive and can move charge in response to the thunderstorm.) Since opposites attract, an upward streamer is sent out from the object about to be struck. When these two paths meet, a return stroke zips back up to the sky. It is the return stroke that produces the visible flash, but it all happens so fast - in a few thousandths of a second - so the human eye doesn't see the actual formation of the stroke. Natural lightning can also trigger upward discharges from tall towers, like broadcast antennas. For more information on cloud-to-ground (and other types of lightning) visit the Severe Weather 101: Lightning Types page.</blockquote>]]></description>

Molecules by Theodore Gray is the extraordinary sequel to The Elements, the bestselling book and app. It continues the story of the elements to show how they are assembled into the rich diversity of compounds, chemicals, molecules, rocks, and stuff that make up our world.


The app includes an important world first: a touch-interactive molecular dynamics simulation that lets you poke and prod hundreds of different molecules, seeing how each one reacts to your touch. Molecules are not static things – they twist, turn, vibrate, and spin in an elaborate and beautiful dance of quantum mechanics.</blockquote>]]></description>

Changes in the Rate of Expansion of the Universe Since Its Beginning 13.8 Billion Years Ago: The more the diagram spreads out horizontally, the faster the change in the velocity of expansion. After a period of very rapid expansion at the beginning, which scientists call inflation and which we will discuss later in this chapter, the expansion began to decelerate. Galaxies were then close together, and their mutual gravitational attraction slowed the expansion. After a few billion years, when galaxies were farther apart, the influence of gravity began to weaken. Dark energy then took over and caused the expansion to accelerate.

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[It’s a scientist’s job to form opinions reluctantly, which makes me feel better about assuming that they’re worth listening to.
I enjoyed these playful names for scientist “diseases” that John Antonakis came up with:
Significosis — an inordinate focus on statistically significant results.
Neophilia — an excessive appreciation for novelty.
Theorrhea — a mania for new theory.
Arigorium — a deficiency of rigor in theoretical and empirical work.
Disjunctivitis — a proclivity to produce large quantities of redundant, trivial, and incoherent works.
When you pick whom to trust, remember to think about competence *and* incentives.]]></description>

Yet, copyrights also raise the cost of accessing existing work – potentially discouraging future innovation.This paper uses an exogenous shift towards weak copyrights(and low access costs) during WWII to examine the potentially adverse effects of copyrights on science. Using two alternative identification strategies, we show that weaker copyrights encouraged the creation of follow-on science, measured by citations.This change is driven by a reduction in access costs, allowing scientists at less affluent institutions to use existing knowledge in new follow-on research.]]></description>

The columns are still considered models of clarity and elegance for introducing fresh and engaging ideas in mathematics in non-technical ways."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["An extensive literature documents the effects of birth order on various individual outcomes, with later-born children faring worse than their siblings. However, the potential mechanisms behind these effects remain poorly understood. This paper leverages US data on pregnancy intention to study the role of unwanted fertility in the observed birth order patterns. We document that children higher in the birth order are much more likely to be unwanted, in the sense that they were conceived at a time when the family was not planning to have additional children. Being an unwanted child is associated with negative life cycle outcomes as it implies a disruption in parental plans for optimal human capital investment. We show that the increasing prevalence of unwantedness across birth order explains a substantial part of the documented birth order effects in education and employment. Consistent with this mechanism, we document no birth order effects in families who have more control over their own fertility."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Watch E. coli bacteria encounter increasing strengths of antibiotics, the medicine that we use to fight infections or infectious diseases. A team led by Harvard Medical School’s Michael Baym set up the video demonstration to observe exactly how bacteria evolve antibiotic resistance. From The Scientist:

For 10 days, the researchers imaged the E. coli every 10 minutes as the microbes expanded across the plate, and saw that the bacteria paused briefly at the boundaries of increasingly stringent antibiotic concentrations until a mutant struck out into the higher-drug territory. By challenging the bacteria with differing doses of antibiotic in the first step of the gradient, the team demonstrated that E. coli evolve higher resistance more quickly if they first encounter an intermediate, rather than a high, concentration of antibiotic…

The scientists were also intrigued to find that many bacteria behind those at the frontier—those that became resistant to antibiotics, but grew more slowly as a result—acquired mutations that further boosted both growth and antibiotic resistance later on. In fact, in a head-to-head race with the bacteria that originally outstripped them, these slow-to-grow bacteria were much more successful by the end of the experiment.]]></description>

Low-background steel is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first atomic bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. With the Trinity test and the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and then subsequent nuclear weapons testing during the early years of the Cold War, background radiation levels increased across the world. Modern steel is contaminated with radionuclides because its production used atmospheric air. Low background steel is so called because it does not suffer from such nuclear contamination. This steel is used in devices that require the highest sensitivity for detecting radionuclides.

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Barnum effect, also called the Forer effect, is the observation that individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people. This effect can provide a partial explanation for the widespread acceptance of some beliefs and practices, such as astrology, fortune telling, graphology, aura reading and some types of personality tests.
A related and more general phenomenon is that of subjective validation.[1] Subjective validation occurs when two unrelated or even random events are perceived to be related because a belief, expectation, or hypothesis demands a relationship. Thus people seek a correspondence between their perception of their personality and the contents of a horoscope."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["animals react differently when gravity's constraints are suddenly removed. Tree frogs, for example, assume a nosedive position. Caecilians, tropical amphibians that resemble worms, go limp, more or less playing dead. Cats assume they're falling, so they'll roll over, and over, and over--they'll just keeping rolling, trying in vain to right themselves. 

Here are some frogs bouncing around space, along with a few tadpoles: 



Snakes, however, are a particularly interesting case, io9 continues. They tend to have one of two reactions: either they attack themselves, or they coil themselves into a tight knot-like bunch. Both of these reactions, researchers think, are responses to the same problem.

In microgravity, snakes lose their sense of proprioception, or the awareness of one's body parts in relation to one another. Once the gravity wheels come off the wagon, snakes no longer seem to know their own bodies from any other physical obstacle they're bouncing up against. They might perceive that obstacle as an enemy, or, if they think it's another snake, they might try to bunch up alongside it, a common reaction in stressed groups of snakes"]]></description>
