Just a plug for a somewhat decent book - as long as you have an open mind that is- I think fundie theists might not like it :D

couple of interesting titbits

Encoding of memories

Creativity and schizophrenia

Mods- would it be too cheeky of me to ask that any bullshit posted by Cal about the above articles please be removed to the bingo thread so that this thread remains unpolluted?

Psychodiva, in ref to the article on schizophrenia: is there any correlation b/w schizophrenia and math skills? It seems like I have heard somewhere of engineers developing this disease in a higher proportion than the normal population.

I haven't seen any research on it lately but i doubt there is a clear correlation - there may be an anecdotal and assumed one only

Eva 11-12-2010 06:50 PM

anecdotal and assumed are enough for cal.

Are you kidding? He is happy with stuff that clearly contradicts him, as long as he can pick out some key words, arrange them out of context, read between the lines to figure out what the author is secretly saying, and thereby connect his dots.

nkb 11-16-2010 09:39 AM

Are you telling me that you don't think there's anything mentally wrong with Cal?

psychodiva 11-16-2010 09:46 AM

personality wise yes- actual mental illness- probably not- but I couldn't tell from just the internet

Arsenic- the stuff of life?

Quote:

researchers have coaxed a microbe to build itself with arsenic in the place of phosphorus, an unprecedented substitution of one of the six essential ingredients of life. The bacterium appears to have incorporated a form of arsenic into its cellular machinery, and even its DNA, scientists report online Dec. 2 in Science.

THIS!!!! is worth a listen


Quote:

The blogger and the author of Bad Science, Dr Ben Goldacre, himself a defendant in a lengthy and costly legal case, explores the battle to keep libel out of science and what it might mean for us and the future of medical research if that battle is lost.
