The Wait A Second! blog recently wrote about a new sexual harassment case in the Second Circuit. The case, Kaytor v. Electric Boat Corp.,is unique because it involves not only sex, but threats of violence and what is more amazing is that the case was once dismissed.

From Ed Yong: It’s a classic David and Goliath story, except there are 90,000 Davids and they all have stings. On the African plains, the whistling-thorn acacia tree protects itself against the mightiest of savannah animals – elephants – by recruiting some of the tiniest – ants

Every so often, we hear or read someone who asks, “If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we do X?” But it’s not so clear that we could still do it if we wanted to: The Apollo and Gemini programs aren’t truly lost. There are still one or two Saturn V rockets lying around, and there are plenty of parts from the spacecraft capsules still available.

I recently posted questions on mathoverflow about chessboard complexes and on TCSexchange about Markov chains on 3-colorings of cycles. There’s actually a (tenuous) connection between the two problems, which I wanted to explain here. The chessboard complex is an abstract simplicial complex formed from an m × n grid of points by making an edge between every two points that are on two different rows and columns, a triangle for every three points that are on three different rows and columns, a …

When William McDonough and other pioneers of the sustainable architecture movement first envisioned the concept of living, breathing buildings, it’s safe to say that they probably didn’t have structures teeming with actual living, breathing bacteria in mind. But don’t tell that to Henk Jonkers of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. What he and his colleagues have developed—a self-fixing bacteria-concrete hybrid—may do more to propel sustainable architecture into the mainstream …

Any Trekker (or Trekkie) knows that the warp drives in Federation starships are powered by dilithium-moderated matter/antimatter reactions. When matter and antimatter come into contact: BOOM! There’s a huge release of energy and the Enterprise leaps ahead at incredible speeds. Of course that’s all sci-fi, right? What fewer Trekkers, and the public in general, realize is that antimatter is not solely the purview of science fiction: it actually exists in the real Universe–it’s not just a common…

A grandfather and granddaughter travelled and made their living performing balancing acts. They asked a wise man what was the best way to safeguard and care for each other.

Refining something from nature that is rustic and organically decorative, into a piece of furniture or home decor is a high form of eco-flattery. While it can hardly be called a trend, using twigs can liven up any decor. Using found natural objects brings the natural world and the interior world closer

Incremental innovation and process improvements have always come from those closest to the problem. It’s the basis of kaizen, a system where employees continually improve manufacturing processes. It’s also a founding principle of Six Sigma — tap employees’ relentless, incremental quality improvements.

A couple of months ago, I pointed out that any post-recession recasting of processes, practices, and positions must include changes to the CEO’s role, and suggested that the time had come for chief executive officers to transform themselves into chief enabling officers. Some of you agreed, others didn’t, and still others offered new ideas. Bernard Tsang, Mohammed Rehman, Mat Maynor, and Deven Pravin Shah , among others, added fresh reasons for bringing about change, while Mohit Jindal wondered if change should be paced out.

There’s something that has puzzled me about the recent stem cell decision that led to an injunction that prevents the NIH from spending any funds on research involving human embryonic stem cells. I’ve read the decision (pdf), and it appears to be incredibly broad and damaging to NIH funding in general. I could understand an injunction based on a finding that the policy violated federal law: I think that’s stupid, but I get it.

Across the ~3 billion or so base pairs in the human genome there’s a fair amount of variation. That variation can be partitioned into different classes, somewhat artificial constructions of human categorization systems, but nevertheless mapping on to real demographic or life history events of particular importance. Some of the variation is specific to populations, while some of it is specific to a set of populations, and, there is also variation which we find only within families
