Mnuchin, facing calls for resignation, defends Trump - Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Saturday defended President Donald Trump and called out his critics amid growing condemnation of the president's response to racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend. "I don’t believe the allegations against the president are accurate," Mnuchin said in a statement. "I believe that having highly talented men and women in our country surrounding the president in his administration sho...

This week in science: both siderism - It’s weeks like this that I’m glad my bailiwick focuses on science and technology. There’s plenty of both-siderism in science, or poly-siderism for that matter that’s a big part of science; it’s arguably the whole point. To offer up ideas for debate and experiment, regroup, reformulate, and repeat. But perhaps spineless politicians and furious pundits could learn something from how that scientific process unfolds and converges to a conclusion. There com...

Herb paris (Paris quadrifolia)

Svartskog, Norway

This is such a unique species in that it has a preference for symmetry, as its most prominent feature is not its eye-catching flower which is barely noticeable.

I has 4 prominent leaves, and the inflorescence usually also has 4 sepals, and 4 petals.

Yet the most valuable of all comes in one. One flower. One fruit.

The autumn is around the corner, and several species are now with yellow, orange and red foliage, while this one simply has foliage that withers. This makes the fruit rather attractive, but you have to know where to look, and to sit on your knees to appreciate it, as it is a plant that does not ask for a lot of attention by intense colors and growing in prominent places.

Genetic enhancement will be many times more powerful than steroids

"Clinical trials of CRISPR gene editing, when they start this year (2017), will edit existing cells in adults using an injection of a viral vector. It seems likely that CRISPR, or some improved version of it, will be established to be both safe and effective in the near future. Professor Stephen Hsu provides an analysis of the potential improvement from genetic editing compared to steroids..."

The Fermi Bubbles

"A team of scientists from Russia and China has developed a model explaining the nature of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs) in our galaxy. These CRs have energies exceeding those produced by supernova explosions by one or two orders of magnitude. The model focuses mainly on the recent discovery of giant structures called Fermi bubbles.

One of the key problems in the theory of the origin of cosmic rays, which consist of high-energy protons and atomic nuclei, is their acceleration mechanism. The issue was addressed by Vitaly Ginzburg and Sergei Syrovatsky in the 1960s when they suggested that CRs are generated during supernova (SN) explosions in the galaxy. A specific mechanism of charged particle acceleration by SN shock waves was proposed by Germogen Krymsky and others in 1977. Due to the limited lifetime of the shocks, it is estimated that the maximum energy of the accelerated particles cannot exceed 1014-1015 eV.

Explaining the nature of particles with energies above 1015 eV is key. A major breakthrough in researching the acceleration processes of such particles came when the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope detected two gigantic structures emitting radiation in the gamma-ray band in the central area of the galaxy in November 2010. The structures are elongated and symmetrically located in the galactic plane perpendicular to its center, extending 50,000 light-years, or roughly half of the diameter of the Milky Way disk. These structures became known as Fermi bubbles. Later, the Planck telescope team discovered their emission in the microwave band."

KJ McDaniels is moving to his fourth NBA team in as many seasons after agreeing to deal with the Toronto Raptors. ASM Sports, McDaniels' representatives, confirmed he and the Raptors reached a deal, and ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the contract will be for one year. A second-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014, McDaniels struggled to contribute in a meaningful way for the Sixers and Houston Rockets over his first two-and-a-half years. After the Rockets traded him to the Brooklyn Nets in February, McDaniels played the best basketball of his pro career.

Sir Fred Hoyle died on August 20, 2001 at age 86 (born 24 Jun 1915).

English astronomer and mathematician who is best known as the foremost proponent and defender of the steady-state theory of the universe. This theory holds both that the universe is expanding and that matter is being continuously created to keep the mean density of matter in space constant. He became Britain's best-known astronomer in 1950 with his broadcast lectures on The Nature of the Universe, and he recalled derisively coining the term “Big Bang” in the last of those talks. Although over time, belief in a “steady state” universe as Hoyle had proposed was shared by fewer and fewer scientists because of new discoveries, Hoyle never accepted the now most popular “Big Bang” theory for the origin of the universe.

Sometimes, life gets you down.

2017 has been a hard year, the last few weeks especially. I've also been battling a bit of depression lately, and have learned that I can turn to art, specifically my art, to help. Art can be extremely therapeutic. I write all about it in my latest piece for Toy Photographers. Check it out here:
