09.09.2007 Science Week in Review
September 9th, 2007- Sad news from the field of non-human cognitive studies as Alex the Grey Parrot is Dead at 31.
- Stephen Hawking fans rejoice! Our oh-so-brilliant Simpsons character, who has also done some stuff with space or physics or something, has written a Kid’s Cosmology Book. No release date yet, but I’ve got it tagged onto my Amazon wish list. (See also: Lego Stephen Hawking)
- D’oh! “A 20-year government effort to restore the population of an endangered native trout in Colorado has made little progress because biologists have been stocking some of the waterways with the wrong fish“
- Is it really actually veritably honest-to-goodnessly indeedily going to in fact happen? The image of the New Mexico Spaceport Design gives me hope for the space-tourism industry.
- Can one person changing their behaviors really make a difference? Not really. Mike Tidwell explains How Florescent Lights and Hybrids are Hurting the Environment
- A Woman visits her own heart at the Welcome Collection in London.
- Half of Americans are of below average intelligence, which explains why two-thirds say they would believe their faith over empirical evidence when the two conflict. Well, that’s my explanation for it anyway.
- The deep seas are getting wired with cameras, fiber optics, and other instruments as part of a NASA-scale Mission to Explore the Oceans.
- NASA’s all-time most rewarding mission continues it’s slow, agonizing death as Hubble telescope loses another gyroscope.
- I’m still partial to remote-desktopping into work, but apparently IvanAnywhere Robot gives a programmer 1,350 kilometers away from work a more interactive presence with his distant coworkers.

Thanks for the catch, it’s linked now. : )
