In his new book The Moral Landscape , neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris challenges the commonly held view that science has nothing to say about moral issues and that religion is the best authority on meaning, values and a good life. For Sam, the goal of The Moral Landscape is to begin a conversation about how moral truth can be understood in terms of science. Richard Dawkins is known for his persistence in demanding a rational and scientific approach to solving life’s most fundamental questions wherever and whenever it can be applied. So, can science help us to determine how we should live in the 21st century?

It’s that time of year again. The weather is turning from “less hot” to “hot”, the flowers are blooming, the weather is insanely unpredictable and young geeks’ thoughts are focused on one thing. Yup. It’s Con Season again. Which means it’s time to revisit the topic of “how do I get laid at the comic con?” Now, I’ve talked before about how to pick up girls at comic cons and why it can be a bad idea , and to be perfectly clear, I still stand by this.

The Etsy seller puts together laser-etched images of famous scientists for the hanging on, oh, anything. And they’ve also got a set of Women in Science, which includes some incredible ladies.

10 Action Librarians | The Mary Sue
Allow Us To Explain According to Wikipedia , “stereotypes of librarians in popular culture are frequently negative: librarians are portrayed as puritanical, punitive, unattractive, and introverted if female, or timid, unattractive, and effeminate if male.” TVTropes, in fact, lists only two librarian tropes: the Hot Librarian , for a very specific kind of story; and the Scary Librarian (basically the shushing librarian with one notable subversion ). Even J.K.Rowling admitted that she was unable to present a kind librarian in Harry Potter because otherwise all the mysteries would have been solved in a couple of days. And so we thought to ourselves: there are plenty of kick ass librarians in fiction! Like all the time… when they are allowed to be main characters… and aren’t one-scene jokes… um.

A few years ago photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. So to cheer her up, and put a spark back into her life, he turned her into a superhero! He took a series of awesome photographs of her wearing costumes in unusual superhero type posses. "Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn't stop smiling." Frederika isn't only a superhero in these photos, but she was a real hero during World War II.
