Lunta on tänä talvena saatu monen mielestä jo ihan liiaksi asti. Mutta mitä jos lumi ei olisikaan pakollinen paha, vaan ihana, ilmainen ja luova rakennusmateriaali? Lumesta ja jäästä syntyi mitä hienoimpia rakennelmia Itä-Suomen yliopiston Senni-hankkeen koulutuksessa, jossa pohdittiin, miten lumirakentamista voitaisiin hyödyntää esimerkiksi vanhusten tai mielenterveyskuntoutujien kuntoutuksessa.

Tutkija Larisa Leisiöstä kielitieteilijöille olisi käyttöä nykyisessä kielipoliittisessa keskustelussa, koska Suomi monikulttuuristuu huimaa vauhtia. Opiskelija Tero Harjunen on samaa mieltä. Simona Koudinovan varhaisimmat mielikuvat tieteestä ja tutkimuksesta sijoittuvat lapsuuteen. Hänen plasmaa ja nanoteknologiaa tutkinut pappansa onnistui tuolloin sytyttämään tytön palavan innostuksen luonnontieteisiin. Jäisen Antarktiksen meteorologiaa Ilmastossa, kuten maailmantaloudessakin, kaikki on kytköksissä toisiinsa.
The Hottest Research of 2011 ScienceWatch offers its annual survey of the foregoing year's hottest research, featuring the scientists whose recent papers were highly cited on a consistent basis, and presenting the papers published during 2011 that were most cited by year's end. Among the featured scientists, geneticist Eric Lander makes the list for yet another year. And the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe continues to spawn blockbuster papers. Our Special Topics analysis of supersymmetry research over the last decade has demonstrated that Professor Mirjam Cvetic of the University of Pennsylvania is a highly cited author in the field.

Filed under: Tech Top 5 great apps that will run great on the iPad 2 and iPhone by Admin on Jan 4th, 2012 The iPad 2 and iPhone 4S are the new mainstays on the mobile market, both of them dominating in sales in both the tablet and smartphone niches, and thanks to Apple’s marketing and great developer tools, the iTunes market is filled with apps for the iOS operating system. The iPad 2 and iPhone 4S got dual core processors and a few other hardware upgrades (like a camera on the iPad 2), so here are a few apps you should try in order to get the most...
Next Big Future
MIT's David Hardt is working to move microfluidics from the lab to the factory. Hardt heads the Center for Polymer Microfabrication — a multidisciplinary research group funded by the Singapore-MIT Alliance — which is designing manufacturing processes for microfluidics from the ground up. The group is analyzing the behavior of polymers under factory conditions, building new tools and machines to make polymer-based chips at production levels, and designing quality-control processes to check a chip’s integrity at submicron scales — all while minimizing the cost of manufacturing.
Just reposting a comment that was left by "Braking Future" during my haitus... It sure looks pretty bleak around here these days. By the looks of it transhumanism is near dead, certainly very deep into the rehash territory, a mere zombie of what it was 10-20 years ago. What went wrong? Probably nothing.

Nutrition & Metabolism publishes content focused on the integration of nutrition, exercise physiology, clinical investigations, and molecular and cellular biochemistry of metabolism. The areas of interest of Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in obesity, diabetes, lipidemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology that have an underlying basis in metabolism. Likewise, we seek submission of manuscripts on the biochemistry of metabolism, cell signaling, molecular and cellular biology of nutrients, nutrient gene interactions and other areas that have implications for human nutrition and medicine.

How do social animals, from insects to humans, limit the spread of disease by deploying community-level responses to pathogens? This primer , describing research by Sylvia Cremer and colleagues , highlights active immunization of healthy ants by infected ants as one intriguing example. You can also listen to the accompanying PLoS Podcast , featuring an interview with the authors. This education article describes a fun, interactive exercise, in which students simulate an infectious disease outbreak among themselves that conceptually integrates two historically distinct fields in epidemiology.

Social insect soldiers not only protect the colony from insect invasions; some also secrete strong antifungal compounds to kill microscopic enemies.A few years ago, Erich Jarvis decided it was time to sequence the genome of his parrots. Jarvis is a neuroscientist at Duke University who studies why songbirds and humans can learn vocal patterns, while most animals cannot. More…
