I would think the poison from a puffer fish would produce a little more zombie like characteristics.

Today's wide field lens eyepieces are much better than the old pinholes IMO

Agreed - the most educational science show aimed at the masses, with Nova Science Now a close second. I worry though what will fill the void when they leave? So far spinoffs like Smashlab and such have been garbage.

And then on 2 p.m., on the History Channel, the first episode of Food Fight! will premier.

Its gonna be great!

Came across this website a little while back, which I've found very informative on content as well as methods.

A video about chromosome 2 and human ancestry that may be helpful...

I'm fully aware that people run there mouths and publish there papers.

Peer review is at the heart of modern science – there is a little more to do with it than scientists “running their mouths”. If you cannot accept this basic concept for whatever reasons, you may be on the wrong forums.

Sorry my friend, but I don´t understand this affirmation. Are you suggesting that somewhere in time (200.000 years ago), there was a human being capable to reproduce itself, without the participation of a partner of the opposite sex , and its offspring continued reproducing through the rest of time, without the mixing of its genetic pool with the rest of the human beings that existed at a given time ? (kind of a way out of proportion inbreeding).

 

It doesn´t make sense.

Thanks, I will make sure to heat up a gram or so prior.

I have a quick question that I hope some of you all may be able to help with – every year I do the gummy bear molten potassium chlorate demo to illustrate Cellular Respiration. However after speaking with another science teacher in the area he told me I probably shouldn’t do this demo due to the high risk of impurities in the potassium chlorate – which could lead to disastrous results. Do any of you have any experience with this, or maybe elaborate more on the risks? Thanks

Greetings! I am new to this forum as visible by my posting on this thread. I have been teaching biology here in Kansas for five years now and have a deep passion for science education.
