I'm trying out a new feature on my blog. I follow Science Blog, which features a lot of press releases about science, medicine, and engineering that can spark ideas for science fiction writers. Sometimes they also publish articles that give insight into human nature. Here are some links to articles from this week that I thought were especially interesting:
Seaweed as a source of biofuel
Resetting the biological clock
Power and corruption are good for society (power gives law enforcers invective to do their jobs)
Sweet degradable plastics
People's views of justice affects how they view victims of tragedy
Steps toward biological computers
Link between diet and onset of mental illness
How to take a molecule's temperature
Is this interesting? Overwhelming? Too technical? Something you'd like me to keep doing? Let me know what you think!
Have a good weekend, everyone!
Ooh, I like! I'd love to see this feature keep going. Thanks for the links!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Awesome info you've put at our fingertips. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteShallee and PK, I'm glad you like this feature!
ReplyDeleteMaybe just take one link and discuss it.
ReplyDeleteMaria, that's what I do in my Science of Science Fiction posts. I know it's been a while since I've analyzed a news article that way, but I have to find an article that resonates with me for that type of discussion. I'm planning to do both Science of Science Fiction and this new feature.
ReplyDeleteI say keep em going. I love all this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like this feature! (Of course, I love science. :)
