Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) That is fantastic. I love things like that. Reminds me of when I was in Physics club and the physics open houses we would have, except we had more freezing things in liquid Nitrogen as opposed to melting things in water. *passes it along to my old physics professor* edit: silly typos Edited February 25, 2011 by orderedchaos Share this post Link to post

Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Gene therapy produces HIV-resistant T-cells. In the study, six men with HIV had their blood filtered to remove a small percentage of their T-cells. The gene-snipping compound was added in the lab, and about one-fourth of the cells were successfully modified. The cells were mixed with growth factors to make them multiply and then infused back into the patients. Three men received about 2.5 billion modified cells. Three others received about 5 billion. Three months later, five men had three times the number of modified cells expected. As much as 6 percent of their total T-cells appear to be the new type — resistant to HIV, Lalezari said. Pretty awesome man. /understatement of the year Edited February 28, 2011 by AngelKitty Share this post Link to post

Posted March 1, 2011 I am now officially hunting for Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I found Stephen Hawkings Universe series.... If you have Netflix, I know it's on there (and they even have it for streaming!) Otherwise, I don't know. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 1, 2011 This one is my favorite! "A Glorious Dawn" is great, but I think my favorite is "The Case for Mars". As a side note, why do almost all scientists have really nice speaking voices? (Every one I've ever heard, with the exception of Stephen Hawking, but that's not his real voice.)

Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Signs of 'alien life' found in meteorites It has yet to be peer reviewed and was published in an "online" paper so yeah I'll wait awhile for it to be proofed before I make a judgement. Edited March 7, 2011 by Kaynight Share this post Link to post
Posted March 7, 2011 Signs of 'alien life' found in meteorites It has yet to be peer reviewed and was published in an "online" paper so yeah I'll wait awhile for it to be proofed before I make a judgement. I think it is very narrow minded to believe earth harbours the only examples of life in the universe. As to whether this is the proof or not? I can only await further peer review. +1 Share this post Link to post

Posted March 7, 2011 Westboro Baptist Church. Also, http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/03...over_bacter.php :< You're still hating on them, Rhea? They're trolls; they don't deserve to be hated. Not because, you know, they're good or anything, but because it's like hating on a mosquito (no insult to mosquitoes intended). There's just no point. Also, there's like only 100 of them (in 2007, there were 71). In a world fast approaching 7 billion humans, let alone everything else. And it is a world that is filled with bizarre and beautiful and wonderful things. Don't waste it by hating. /peprant Aww. :< I was sort of hoping that was true, just because, well, damn cool idea if nothing else. Also patently ridiculous pulp-scifi, but still.

Posted March 17, 2011 We are now one step closer to the robot apocalypse. Actually, I think more than one. It's major-league cool, but kinda scary at the same time. Share this post Link to post
