Papaya trees bask in the evening light on a Hawaiian farm. Enabling crops to resist diseases through genetic modification was a key reason for the survival of Hawaii's papaya industry. Image:Eugene Kim,CC BY 2.0 Which is more disruptive to a plant: genetic engineering (GE) or conventional br...
would become more clear if one compares this experimental praxis with other measurement tools, such as, among others, the scanning electron microscope (SEM), which was invented in the early 1930s or with X-ray diffraction (XRD) which was used for the first time in 1912 (Luger1992, p. ...
I can see this happening kinda thing, but with Oryx and Crake, it’s much more about genetic engineering and engineering of food and stuff, so it’s stuff I’m already interested in. I’m really interested in the way that we eat and the way that the scientific partnership between food...
COMMISSION MEMBER ASTRONAUT SALLY RIDE: The engineers’ main problem was that they felt their temperature data was inconclusive and they were worried about it, but they didn’t have the data to quantify what problems the temperature could cause. And that was [the basis for] their recommendation ...
The human race has methodically improved crop plants through selective breeding for many thousands of years, but genetic engineering allows that time-consuming process to be accelerated and exotic traits from unrelated species to be introduced. But not everyone agrees this represents progress. The root...
Frank was stunned to discover that she had held onto his letter all these years as he did hers. “Don’t make me cry, please,” Frank exclaimed, overcome with emotion. He tightly held her hand. “Honest to God, I love you so much.” ...

No, what we found was that if you install a lot of unreliable wind, you are forced to install essentially the same amount of gas generation that can be spun up fast. So the real cost of your wind electricity is almost double due to back up costs. Then if you are reliant on gas gen...
Google said it was “disappointed’’ with Facebook’s behavior.It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won’t get it back. Basically,Facebook’s position with major IT companies is this:if you want access to all the inf...
THE TAKE HOME: This blog is a written account of a two hour live webinar I gave to members in Sept of 2016. Most of them felt this information was so important that they voted 89% to publish this info for public consumption. I will remind you all thes
