1. Maybe it was just the headline ... but the runaway winner was "No pity party, no macho man." Psychologist Dave Grossman on surviving killing. Actually I think it was the remarkable photo, which looks like a painting. Check it out.

2. I'm not vulnerable, just especially plastic. Risk genes, environment, and evolution, in the Atlantic. The blog post about the article that led to the book.

3. Senator Asks Pentagon To Review Antidepressants

4. Gorgeous thing of the day: Sky's-eye view of the Maldives & other islands

5. The Weird History of Vaccine Adjuvants, even though it was from Oct 1, was #5 in November as well.

A food blog I can't digest
July 7, 2010
Hoo boy. I never thought I'd have to resign a blogging position in protest. But so I find. I'm dismayed at ScienceBlogs' decision to run material written by PepsiCo as what amounts to editorial content â equivalent, that is, to the dozens of blogs written by scientists, bloggers, and writers who…

It's particularly popular in academic medical centers as a subject of what I like to refer to as "quackademic medicine"; that is, the study of pseudoscience and quackery as though it were…
It's Getting Hot in Here, So Take Off... The Whole Planet?
"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot." -D.H. Lawrence Here in our Solar System, the planet closest to our Sun is Mercury, speeding around in a complete orbit once every 88 days, with daytime temperatures reaching a sweltering 400° C, or around 800° F.

Five Reasons We Think Dark Matter Exists (Synopsis)
Whether you've been coming around to Starts With A Bang for years or whether you just discovered us a few weeks ago, chances are you've heard us take on the issue of dark matter -- whether it exists and, if so, what its properties are -- and how we think we know that.
