The bodies of two women have been found beneath a message calling for the release of jailed members of the punk band Pussy Riot, Russian investigators have said.
The deaths have prompted anger among Kremlin supporters, who have warned that the musicians were encouraging dangerous radicalism. But supporters of the band, three of whose members were given prison sentences earlier this month, immediately cast doubt on claims that the murders were the work of a Pussy Riot fan. One Russian investigator cautioned that the killer was possibly trying to mislead police by drawing attention to supporters of the punk provocateurs.
Investigators said the two victims – a 76-year-old and a 38-year-old woman – were killed in the city of Kazan at the weekend. Pussy Riot: Final Verdict, Friday 17 August at The Royal Court Theatre. PUSSY RIOT: FINAL VERDICT Royal Court Theatre Friday 17 August at 11am The Royal Court Theatre in London will join a global day of protest in solidarity with Moscow’s feminist punk band Pussy Riot on Friday 17 August at 11am before the final verdict is delivered at 12pm (3pm Moscow time).
The families and defence lawyers of the three women, who have been held in custody for five months after being arrested for an impromptu anti-Putin protest in Moscow’s main cathedral, have asked people around the world to unite on 17 August to support the cause. In response to this, the testimonies of the three arrested members of the collective; Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich will be brought alive by actors in a rehearsed reading in the Royal Court’s café bar. Labour MP Kerry McCarthy will reflect on her experiences of being present in the courtroom during the trial and playwright E.V Crowe will give a short introduction.
Playwright E.V Crowe said: Bad Science : les impostures des pseudosciences. Bad Science n'est pas sorti récemment mais le bouquin de Ben Goldacre (médecin et chroniqueur au Guardian) est un excellent livre, très bien écrit (en anglais), qui présente ce qui est et ce qui n'est pas une démarche scientifique.
Goldacre y débusque les arnaques de la pseudoscience tout en expliquant comment appliquer la méthode scientifique, particulièrement quand il s'agit de médecine. Si je n'avais qu'un livre scientifique à conseiller, Bad Science serait celui-ci. 5 Best (and Worst) Places in the U.S. To Find a Tech Job.

12 reasons not to get a PhD. ONF : 10 choses à garder à l’esprit pour la production multimédia. The To D'oh! List: Limiting and Learning from Your Mistakes. I agree, this seems like a great idea and I'm already thinking of ways to implement this for myself, using your system as a base.
The subject of mistakes has also always been interesting to me, particularly for that fear we all have "as if recognizing them was an acknowledgement of fundamental, irreversible flaws. " It took me a while to learn that making a mistake was not the reflection of a flaw in my character as a person, but rather just proof that I'm HUMAN and like all others I make MISTAKES. Science Blogs – definition, and a history. I have been asked recently to write an article, somewhat along the lines of this one but longer, and with a somewhat different angle, asking a little bit different questions: What makes a science blog?
Who were the first science bloggers and how long ago? How many science blogs are there? How does one differentiate between science blogs and pseudo-science, non-science and nonsense blogs? The goal of the article is to try to delineate what is and what isn’t a science blog, what are the overlaps between the Venn diagram of science blogging and some other circles, and what out of all that material should be archived and preserved forever under the heading of “Science Blogging”.
We’ve had these kinds of discussions for years now… but I’ll give it my best shot. Le rythme: une géométrie fractale qui rend la musique agréable.
