Reminds me of the poem by Matsu Basho: Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old; seek what they sort.

Brilliant. Race will likely always remain an important cultural concept (for many important reasons) - but this is a compelling demonstration of its fragile foundations.

I'll respectively disagree that it provides a list of medicines. It provides a list of 'Chemical agents', their ideal form and dose. My point is the over generalisation of these lists. Behind each chemical is an actual produc

While I support the WHO and its efforts to provide standardised information - this attempt fall too short to be useful. It would not have taken much to provide a little more meta-data for this to be far more useful. In the UK we have a SNOM

No one can force someone to take a vaccine - but the government can prevent people - or segments of the population - from taking it. By preventing one group taking it, due to health concerns, it may increase the spread of the disease in oth

While this issue is too rare to alter the current vaccine strategy - it does raise an interesting ethical question. What should we do if, for a specific segment of the population, the vaccine poses a greater risk than contracting the virus?

Very good article. I think there is an important distinction between acute and chronic disease, with respect to how much time you have to consider the choices you need to make - while you retain the capacity to make them. In the UK there is

Thank you for posting - I found this video fascinating. Made me think about the law in the UK. Interestingly when arrested here we are told : “You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questio

My thoughts exactly! I read 'On Bullshit' a while back and it struck me as an hilarious thesis attacking the social sciences in general. There is some type of recursive irony going on here.

There are lots of popular tropes of how our brain works and I'd agree with this author that they are oversimplified and generally incorrect - I'd add the left brain right brain divide to the list. However the author appears to be

The first thing I'd say is that while this must be stressful there is no point worrying about what you can't control. It follows then that you must feel that changing your current situation (or the politics surrounding it) is not

A very smart strategic move from Amazon. It will be very interesting to see how traditional retail pharmacy responds. It should also help drive the adoption of interoperability standards.

So - am way out of my depth here and I agree with the comment above - but I had imagined, given the fashion aspect you could consider something similar to the ear cuff design e.g: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PO5tT-NZ-zI/U

This article seems to define a polymath as someone who is an expert in one domain and has opinions in other domains - those opinions being given greater value because of their other expertise. However - I'd argue that a polymath is som

I think this is a great idea. But why just aim this as women? There are a lot of 'out there' earring designs you could consider that might make your product both technically simpler and more gender neutral.

Separating what you want to achieve from how. A simple idea that has massively changed my life. I’m sure I was told/read it lots before but the ‘a-ha’ moment only came when I had to work it out for myself.
