Generation Anthropocene Special Announcement (04 June 2013) The producers of Generation Anthropocene – Mike Osborne, Miles Traer, and Leslie Chang – are making a special announcement about the future of this show. We’re going to be expanding the scope of our storytelling as well as the types of material available on our website. The mouse brain detective (28 May 2013) Neuroscientist Nick Weiler discusses powerful new techniques used to map the brain at the molecular scale and how the manipulation of mouse whiskers can teach us how the brain changes as we learn. Nick also takes a moment to explain why the concept of consciousness is best left to the philosophers rather than the neuroscientists… but that won’t stop him from commenting on it too.

The Power of a Noble Woman Excerpts from a lecture by Yogi Bhajan given at KWTC (Women’s Camp), July 2, 1978 To be very honest with you, a woman who is not a noble woman and who does not talk through her radiance, is not a woman. The greatest decoration a woman can have is nobility. She should not only look noble, she should live nobly. Nobility is a virtue and it is a living virtue. Some people think if they know manners, can talk mannerly, and act and pretend to be noble, they are noble.
The Last Word Bathed in heat I had a hot bath one evening and decided not to let all the heat go to waste. So I left the plug in until the water had given up all of its heat to the house. But when is the best time to pull the plug out? Should I wait until the water is the same temperature as the ambient indoors air, or should I keep the extra thermal mass in the bathtub, and then pull the plug when the temperature outside the house is at its lowest? Global Research Environment, Climate Change, News, Eco, Green, Energy - The Ecologist popsci At the nuvera fuel cells lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 25-year-old chemical engineer Darryl Pollica stands in front of a prototype 5-kilowatt fuel cell -- a miniature powerplant that can make most of the electricity needed by a family of four. Its metal skin has been removed to reveal a cubical frame about 5 feet on each side, packed with tanks, valves, and electronics. Conspicuously taped to the outside of the frame is a Nokia cellphone. "That's our mascot," Pollica says. "We want to shrink this," he says, opening his arms as if to embrace the entire assembly, "to this," and he brings them together and points toward the tiny phone. Pollica's boss, Nuvera Chief Operating Officer Jeff Bentley, a 25-year veteran of the difficult effort to create cost-effective fuel cells that are relatively small, is a bit more cautious.

Colorado Animal Abuse Registry Rejected By Lawmakers On Monday, Colorado lawmakers rejected a bill that would have required animal abusers over the age of 18 to register to their address, name and photo for police and public records similar to what is required of sex offenders, according to 9News. 7News reports that Linda Hart an opponent of the bill with the Colorado Federation of Dog Clubs said, "We don't think it serves any purpose. We also feel this bill would be even more restrictive toward the animal offenders than our child abuse laws or drunk drivers. Those people do not have their faces or their home addresses listed on a website online." Lawmakers opposed to the bill were concerned the bill might unfairly stereotype animal abuse offenders while supporters argued that animal abusers are often at a higher risk of committing more serious crimes. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), the first such registry was created in Suffolk County, N.Y. just two years ago.
