This week Canadian public health researchers published the long awaited paper on possible association between vaccination for seasonal influenza the previous flu season and risk of having a medically diagnosed infection with pandemic influenza during the first wave of infections (April to July) just as that season was ending. When preliminary results were first announced there was only vaccine against seasonal flu, which was still being given, and the results were contrary to what we though…

As I pointed out yesterday, World Homeopathy Awareness Week began yesterday. One common question that’s asked about homeopathy goes something like this: If homeopathy is just water, then what’s the harm
For the past year I’ve been having periodic discussions with a friend who has a nice amount of money which he invests (he’s a single male cresting up to his peak earning years after receiving an advanced science degree from an elite institution). He is pessimistic about the long term prospects for the American economy, and believes that the current run of stock market gains are simply a bear market rally. Even when he made his assertion last year I pointed out that if it was a bear market ral…

Today, April 10, is the first day of World Homeopathy Awareness Week (WHAW), or, as I like to call it, World Sympathetic Magic Awareness Week. Now, given my dim view of homeopathy, in which I view it as nothing more than, well, sympathetic magic, you’d think I wouldn’t want people to pay attention to WHAW
I recently received an email from Jordan Cosh, from Profit-Smart Media asking me to do a review for a new product his company is releasing; It’s called “Rogue Marketing” – and while the title is painfully reminiscent of Sarah Palin’s biography, what I found when I opened the book up was little less than mind boggling.

Prepare yourselves, for the biggest annual space geek holiday is nearly upon us — and with 187 parties taking place on all 7 continents this year, there is a high probability that a Yuri’s Night celebration is taking place somewhere near you. If you are new to the idea of Yuri’s Night, it is best described as a worldwide celebration of the first human (Yuri Gagarin) who ventured into space on April 12th, 1961.

I experimented yesterday and did a twist on the traditional mazarins, which are small pastries made of short crust filled with almond paste and then glazed. However I used toasted oat flour and rhubarb instead of normal flour and basic almond paste filling.

The business pages of a few of the big dailies are covering a Nature paper about new developments in memristors—components whose resistance depends on a “memory” of previous currents. Memristors are one of four fundamental circuit elements (the other three, for curious readers, are resistors, capacitors and inductors). Electrical engineers first theorized the existence of memristors in the 1970s, but it took nearly thirty years for Stanley Williams and his team at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Pa…
