A growing body of research is adding to the idea that males and females are indeed very different on a neural level and with regard to the central nerbous system. Adding to the recent and all too socio-centered debate that was discussed here (#1317 Egalitarianism, Gender and Diversity).
His Brain, Her Brain
It turns out that male […]
As reported last month and recently mentioned in Nature, there will not likely be any further examination of the thousands of birth defects, cancers and malicious maladies caused by dioxin exposure.
It’s pretty simple really. No research means no proof of foul play and no chance of reparations for Vietnamese plaintiffs against draconian American bio-tech and […]
Vietnam commemorates 30 years since “the American War” ended today. A bitter commemoration for everyone involved even though fireworks and festivities usually try to cover up the fact in modern day Vietnam. In the United States, the lessons learned are all but forgotten and the anniversary is getting a brief and rather uncharismatic coverage. Most […]
According to The Local it doesn’t pay. Only 2% of listeners tune in to P2 apparently. And so some media consultant has suggested that the channel either be transformed into a sports or “pop” music outlet. Abomination!
A reader commented satirically that we should also bulldoze old boring buildings to make room for more “fun” architecture. […]

Dealing with design
The idea of intelligent design is being promoted in schools and universities in the United States and Europe. Rather than ignoring it, scientists need to understand its appeal and help students recognize the alternatives.
Scientists tend to tune out when they hear the words ‘intelligent design’. The […]
From DoD and Defense Tech …
Caption reads: “Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld meets with action hero Spiderman, center, and Captain America at the Pentagon in Washington D.C.”
I have to say I am sort of disappointed with Marvel and the brainwashery that goes on here. It struck me as very odd when they released the […]
How is the Church of Scientology faring these days? After some rather spectacular stories a couple of years ago (mysterious deaths, censorship, negative exposure) I have heard very little. At least in my neck of the woods.
Ship-in-a-Bottle: For me the issue of Scientology exposes not only American society, or the cult itself but religion in […]

Did anyone notice that yesterday was supposed to be the World Intellectual Property Day? No? Well the Bullshit Software Alliance (BSA) continues to harass people. If you look closely at the press release you’ll see that the not so new tactic is to target youngsters with propaganda and intimidation.
Using terms like “being good cyber citizens” […]
I saw a notice in DN this evening claiming that Stockholm had moved one step closer to a ban on Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs). Or “city jeeps” as we prefer to call them. If approved the ban would only be effective within the older city center … but it’s a start. With time it may […]
