We still don't know everything about the biology of bird feathers but we can make flying machines. True AI is not going to happen tomorrow, but I expect it to come within my lifetime. It's easy to get hung up on the complexity of

How many people periodically restart their computer just because they think it might run better afterwards? Maybe it was easier for natural selection to periodically restart the clock than to debug all the molecular pathways so that they re

Elon Musk has earned every tax payer dollar he has received. From what I can tell by reading the news, the man works himself and his companies insanely hard. Perhaps this argument could be made about any other organizations or institutions,

I put the word "chemicals" in quotation marks because, of course, everything is a chemical. I just wanted to point out that we shouldn't pick just one chemical (e.g. BPA) and heap all the blame onto it. As a society, we have

I remember my last visit to Baltimore. I saw a lot of homeless people. I saw a lot of buildings in need of repair. There were people needing work and work needing to be done (fixing buildings). I was left wondering what was preventing the e

Funny, but war sometimes accelerates specific technologies. The atomic age was brought about by WWII. I'm not saying war is good... the advances at one field can come at the expense of scientific research across a broad number of other

Great example of why the peer review system is broke. I've seen first hand how the peer review system works in the United States. Foreign Postdocs studying in the United States are desperate for a Green Card. They peer review as many p
