Last Friday my daughter and I enjoyed a lovely Indian cooking class with Rinku Bhattacharya, a special blogger friend and excellent cooking teacher. She took us through the paces to prepare a complete Indian meal consisting of garlic cumin rice, saag paneer ( creamy spinach wth cubed Indian cheese), naan and tomato cardamom chicken curry. Her downstairs cooking class kitchen was soon filled with the aromas of heavenly Indian spices. Rinku clearly explained each step as we chopped, pureed and kneaded our way along

The search for the genetic underpinnings of autism spectrum disorder has just yielded a new set of clues. In the largest study to date, the Autism Genome Project consortium reports that people with autism have more copy number variants – segments of DNA that have been either duplicated or deleted – in their genes. The results, published today in Nature, could eventually be used to develop quick diagnostic tests

A bit of background information: this is a meeting I am really happy to be part of, and even more so honored to be a co-organizer. One of my main scientific interests is the prediction of the function of genes and proteins of unknown function.

If there were life on the Saturnian moon of Titan, the thinking goes, it would have to inhabit pools of methane or ethane at a cool -300 degrees Fahrenheit, and without the aid of water. While scientists don’t know just what that life would look like, they can predict what effects such tiny microbes would have on Titan’s atmosphere. That’s why researchers from the Cassini mission are excited now: They’ve found signatures that match those expectations

Over at Inside Higher Ed they have a news report on complaints about the content of required reading for students entering college. This comes from the National Association of Scholars, a group dedicated to complaining that multiculturalism is corrupting our precious bodily fluids pushing aside the shared heritage of Western civilization, so most of it is pretty predictable. I was surprised by one thing in their list of commonly assigned books this year, though: What are the freshmen reading…

All my favorite TV shows with one exception are off the air and I’d be bored during the day if it weren’t for the Food Network anyway, but there’s a few shows that have started to tide me over until fall. What did people do in the days before cable?
