I was a wayward kid who grew up on the literary side of life, treating math and science as if they were pustules from the plague.
So it’s a little strange how I’ve ended up now—someone who dances daily with triple integrals, Fourier transforms, and that crown jewel of mathematics, Euler’s equation. It’s hard to believe I’ve flipped from a virtually congenital math-phobe to a professor of engineering. One day, one of my students asked me how I did it—how I changed my brain. Texas School Triples Recess Time And Sees Immediate Positive Results In Kids. Posted Categories: Education More and more, parents are protesting school policies that allow teachers and administrators to withhold recess to punish student misbehavior.
Common infractions include tardiness, acting out in class and failure to complete homework—everyday childhood behaviors that result in numerous children having to go without recess on any given day. A Texas school started giving children four recess breaks a day, and teachers and parents say the results have been wonderful. Recess is a lot more than just a free break for kids to play after lunch period. That free, unstructured play time allows kids to exercise and helps them focus better when they are in class.

Backyard telescopes and amateur eyes see where “pro” astronomers can’t. The United Kingdom is a terrible place to use a telescope, at least if you consider the weather.
There might be one clear night a week, or worse. Lord of the Ants. Edward Hasbrouck, "The Practical Nomad" Claude Shannon: Tinkerer, Prankster, and Father of Information Theory. Editor’s note: This month marks the centennial of the birth of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer whose groundbreaking work laid out the theoretical foundation for modern digital communications.
To celebrate the occasion, we’re republishing online a memorable profile of Shannon that IEEE Spectrum ran in its April 1992 issue. Written by former Spectrum editor John Horgan, who interviewed Shannon at his home in Winchester, Mass., the profile reveals the many facets of Shannon’s character: While best known as the father of information theory, Shannon was also an inventor, tinkerer, puzzle solver, and prankster. Theconversation. For a long time, medieval medicine has been dismissed as irrelevant.
This time period is popularly referred to as the “Dark Ages,” which erroneously suggests that it was unenlightened by science or reason. However, some medievalists and scientists are now looking back to history for clues to inform the search for new antibiotics. The evolution of antibiotic-resistant microbes means that it is always necessary to find new drugs to battle microbes that are no longer treatable with current antibiotics. But progress in finding new antibiotics is slow. The drug discovery pipeline is currently stalled. James Randi: Scientists Fooled by a Match Box Trick. Alexander Grothendieck, the secret genius of mathematics.
This is an English translation of a post written in French by my father Gérard Lebrun.
The pages numbers refer to the original text of Grothendieck’s work Récoltes et Semailles (“Crops and Seeds”). I was intrigued by the unusual path of Grothendieck, the recently deceased mathematician genius who, after twenty years of work that garnered him the 1966 Field Medal (the Nobel Prize for mathematicians) brutally severed all links with the mathematical community and lived for 45 years in seclusion and solitude, devoting himself to meditation, the search for meaning, and introspection. I tried to understand. Doctors have decades of experience fighting “fake news.” Here’s how they win.
Zinn Education Project. 207. STEPHEN KING: The desk. Think about this: Stephen King has been releasing one, sometimes two books a year pretty much every year since his first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974.
That’s 43 freakin’ years of consistent output! He’s become such a mainstay of our culture that it’s easy to take his genius for granted. King’s been writing since he was 7 years-old, when he would copy and rearrange the stories out of his favourite comic books. Impressed by her son’s talent, King’s mother urged him to write an original story. He began submitting short stories to horror and sci-fi magazines at age 12 and would use a nail hammered into the wall above his typewriter to hold all his rejection letters. “Good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun.
I ate 40 teaspoons of sugar a day. This is what happened. • Did banning sugar turn my kids into sweet little angels?
Two months into this rigorous ‘wooing’ process, I began to notice the changes. People commented on my improved skin and eye brightness, I noticed that I had lost a few layers of my hibernation suit and the biggest surprise was the affect on my mental state. I felt calmer and more balanced and present throughout the day. Jump cut to three years later, and my girlfriend and I had bonded so well that not only had we purchased our first couch from IKEA, but we didn’t even argue when assembling it (love’s true test).
I had also directed my first short film, won a large competition in Australia with it, and had been approached by a production company to make a first feature film. Damon ate 40 teaspoons of hidden sugars a day from commonly percieved 'healthy' foods (THAT SUGAR FILM) Collection: DOCUMERICA Project by the Environmental Protection Agency. What I learned as a hired consultant to autodidact physicists. It began after I started as a teaching assistant at the department of physics.
The first note was a classic – it proved Albert Einstein wrong. The second one solved the problem of quantum mechanics by dividing several equations through zero, a feat that supposedly explained non-determinism. The next correspondent offered a Theory of Everything, and complained that the academic mainstream was ignoring his insights. I work in theoretical physics, specifically quantum gravity. NASA just made all the scientific research it funds available for free. NASA just announced that any published research funded by the space agency will now be available at no cost, launching a new public web portal that anybody can access. The free online archive comes in response to a new NASA policy, which requires that any NASA-funded research articles in peer-reviewed journals be publicly accessible within one year of publication. “At NASA, we are celebrating this opportunity to extend access to our extensive portfolio of scientific and technical publications,” said NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman.
“Through open access and innovation we invite the global community to join us in exploring Earth, air, and space.” Cool Science Classics for Summer Reading, Part 1 - Scientific American Blog Network.
