		<description><![CDATA[But it&#8217;s not your fault. According to a short but fascinating article in Scientific America, dogs, and almost all other mammals, don&#8217;t like any music. Humans are nearly unique (damn you bats!) in there ability to easily distinguish tones within a twelfth of an octave (and less). Dogs, for instance cannot distinguish within a third [...]]]></description>

Not so! Scientists already know that resveratrol, a chemical found in red wines, already has these effects. The problem with resveratrol in red wine is that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was an astonishing article in the New York Times yesterday. Basically, it&#8217;s about a team of researchers that found the first empirical evidence that supports a hereto-now theoretical explanation of how the brain recalls memories. When remembering something, the brain re-experiences the events being remembered to some extent. The very same neurons that fired [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[George Dyson, a historian who specializes in the history of science, has written a thought-provoking short story entitled Engineers&#8217; Dreams. It&#8217;s simultaneously historical and science fiction that speculates on possibilities imagined since the advent of computing. It&#8217;s a bit technical, but well worth the read. Let me know your thoughts on it. As an added [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;ve produced the world&#8217;s first jar of renewable crude oil.

Then, in the mid-16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus discovered that the Earth is not the center of the universe. Copernicus removed us from our priviledge place in physical creation. We are not the point of [...]]]></description>
