Environmental Groups are Flirting with Extinction7 March 2014, 8:46 pm
This April 22, Earth Day turns 44. The green movement is not aging well. Like today's U.S. Republican Party, it has a diversity problem and speaks primarily to a narrow, graying demographic slice of the United States.
In 2009, Francis Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said to the New York Times:
Our groups are not as diverse as we’d like, but every one of the major groups has diversity as a top priority.There’s great commitment to making the environmental...

Mars Meteorites May Originate From Single Giant Crater7 March 2014, 7:37 pm
A big impact on Mars 3 million years ago may have been the source of most of the Martian rocks that have landed here on Earth, scientists claim in a new study. The findings, if correct, mean the surface of Mars is 200 million years older than previously thought.
There are about 150 Martian rock specimens in the hands of scientists today. A specific subset of these rocks, called shergottites, have sparked debate amongst meteorite experts over their age.
Most research concludes shergotti...

Einstein's Lost Theory Describes a Universe Without a Big Bang7 March 2014, 4:32 pm
In 1917, a year after Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity was published---but still two years before he would become the international celebrity we know---Einstein chose to tackle the entire universe. For anyone else, this might seem an exceedingly ambitious task---but this was Einstein.
Einstein began by applying his field equations of gravitation to what he considered to be the entire universe. The field equations were the mathematical essence of his general theory of relativ...

Will Cosmos Work?7 March 2014, 4:30 pm
If you’re interested in science and own a TV, you will probably be watching the reboot of Cosmos this Sunday. You also probably know that the show will be updated with new science since Carl Sagan’s original series, that it features astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and that its premiere will be “the biggest roll-out in television history," if you believe major backer of the show, Seth MacFarlane. You may have read profiles, news pieces, interviews, or even seen a preview of the show. Bu...

Pandas v. Horses Fight Goes to Pandas (For Now)7 March 2014, 4:10 pm
It was a battle fought in the mountains of southwestern China, where patchy forests sustain the last shreds of the wild giant panda population. All at once, intruders began marching in and helping themselves to the pandas' food. The incursion happened far from most human eyes, and the pandas that witnessed it likely didn't know what to think. It's not often that one sees a horse in a bamboo forest.
In these woods, the Wolong National Nature Reserve is an important refuge for pandas. Abou...

Flashback Friday: Scientists confirm that crowded parking lots turn people into jerks.7 March 2014, 1:00 pm
I've always suspected that crowded parking lots bring out the worst in people ... and now we have the data to back it up. These brave scientists took to the streets (well, parking lots) and measured how long people took to leave their parking spaces. The drivers took longer if another car was waiting for the space, and longer still if honked at, revealing a territorial tendency. And if they were yelled at to hurry up? Well, those experiments are still in progress.
Territorial defense in parki...

Scientists from NASA and the European Space Agency announced today that the Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the fragmentation of an asteroid, designated P/2013 R2, into 10 separate chunks, each with its own glowing comet-like dust tail. The four largest chunks are about 400 meters in diameter, wh...

Rapid Treatment Clears Second Baby of HIV6 March 2014, 7:33 pm

At an AIDS conference in Boston, doctors announced Wednesday that a second baby, now 9 months old, from Long Beach, Calif., was cleared of HIV after receiving the same aggressive form of treatment just four hours after birth.
