A sciencey blog for the curious ape. January 5, 2013 in fun. It’s been almost a year since I last posted. Oh, how time has escaped me. I’ll be updating this blog more often now. Could I make it up to you if I showed beautiful photos of Oahu and Kauai? Well then… we’ve struck a deal. Perhaps the most intriguing and resplendent tree specimen in Oahu. A coastline cemented in my memory. Hanalei Bay, settling into the afternoon. Waimea Canyon in Kauai, drenched in dryness and mist. The Na Pali coast. ThatR...

From Gravity to Genes: How Science Explains and Shapes Our Lives. VHS – Hemorrhagic Fish in the Great Lakes. Raising Interest in Science. December 16, 2011. An article was published last month on artofthestem.com that was titled “Five Reasons Why Your Child Won’t Be a Scientist.”. So why don’t students like science? What makes them turn away from science and other STEM topics? And why do some of us actually enjoy learning about science? So what if kids don’t have an in-house scientist? 3 Science has lost...

From Gravity to Genes: How Science Explains and Shapes Our Lives. How Fireflies Help Us Understand Cancer. Raising Interest in Science →. VHS – Hemorrhagic Fish in the Great Lakes. November 4, 2011. VHS is not a human pathogen and dies quickly at human body temperature. However, the virus can cause large fish kills and change the dynamics of fisheries. In Denmark, the disease caused deaths in rainbow trout farms leading to losses near $60 million US dollars annually in the early 1990s. Or other DNR sites.

June 15, 2011. During a recent marathon of Andrew Zimmern’s “Bizarre Foods” episodes, I found myself intrigued by his oft-repeated claim that insects could be our answer to a world-wide food shortage and the expensive practice of raising livestock. Zimmern and an insect feast. Insects are a different story, though.

How Fireflies Help Us Understand Cancer. August 23, 2011. I’m back with the promised follow-up to the firefly post. But before I get to fireflies and luciferase, I have to start with cancer cells and metabolism. So how are fireflies and cancer cells related? I promise it will all come together in the end.
