Beautiful time lapse
Found this today

This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011 on El Teide, Spain´s highest mountain."Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

Goodbye to Scienceblogs
September 15, 2011
A few weeks ago, I was notified that if I wished to continue blogging at Scienceblogs/National Geographic, I'd have to agree to new terms. After considering these terms, as well as the decision to ban pseudonymous blogging, I don't feel that the new management and I are on the same page. I have…
SpaceChem!
September 14, 2011
A few months ago I got an email from Zachtronics, creators of the Codex of Alchemical Engineering, about the new indie game called SpaceChem. It was billed as "an obscenely addictive, design-based puzzle game about building machines and fighting monsters in the name of science." What's not to love…
Pseudonymity: Five Reasons the New Scienceblogs/NG Policy is Misguided
September 14, 2011
Recently, Scienceblogs/National Geographic decided it would no longer host pseudonymous science bloggers. As a result, many of my former colleagues have left. I think this decision was wrong. Read on for my reasons. One: simple fairness. Several well-established pseudonymous bloggers had been…
Seeing the invisible? There's an app for that
September 8, 2011
This video from Xperia Studio very effectively conveys how data visualization can both leverage and challenge our conceptions of "reality." The night sky we've seen since childhood, like everything else we see, is just a tiny slice of the spectrum - only what we can perceive with our limited…
Kate MacDowell: bloodless bodies
September 7, 2011
Entangled, 2010 handbuilt porcelain, cone 6 glaze Kate MacDowell sculpts partially dissected frogs, decaying bodies with exposed skeletons, and viscera invaded by tentacles or ants. It's the imagery of nightmares, death metal music videos, or that tunnel scene in the original Willy Wonka (not a…
Helping Vermont

The below story has been circulating online for at least last 10 years. What is interesting is that its creation is not very clear. Some people believe that there was a real scientific experiment, for example by G. R. Stephenson in 1967 on Cultural acquisition of a specific learned response among rhesus monkeys, but as it was not very ethical, the scientists remain anonymous. On the other hand Steve Pennel wrote that it was Albert Einstein’s story in response to the question how the paradigm is formed.
The real background on “The Five Monkeys Experiment” is quite tough to investigate now. What is certain is that the story lives itself in the Internet as well as is used as an example of the creation of the corporate culture in the presentations. Therefore, I would suggest that it is not worth exploring the problem whether there was an experiment or not, although it would be great to know who was behind it, because the beauty of the story lies in its allegory to ourselves. We became reflectiveless, following others patterns without questioning whether it makes sense or not. Simply put, the reply to any question: “Because it always was like that and end of discussion” is easier and does not require any responsibility.
May be after reading the story it is the right time to start using the most precious asset we have – our brain??
