The bits and the bites of cool science links so YOU don't have to find them.
Believe it or not, but scientists have recently done something just a few years ago (ok, like 20) we didn't think was possible: regenrate neural tissue, specifically the brain. I can still remember my 7th grade teacher drilling into us that once nerve cells are damaged, they cannot be repaired, only other nerves can compensate for the loss. Well, now it seems we're making progress. Just think of the potential helps this could turn into in the future!
It's been a while since I've posted, but we just added a PhD hopeful to the SciBite iniciated, so in honor of Wes joining the crew (he'll be our unofficial "Stanford Based Chemistry Department" here at Scibite) I would like to show you Google Mars.
This unbelievable website has more information about chemistry than even I, a chemist, can dream up. Everything ranging from organic chemistry to geochemistry to chemical engineering. Even has a history of chemistry with info of famous scientists. I obviously haven't clicked on all the links, but the ones I have used have been both useful and accurate. Enjoy!
It's been a while since anyone's posted to this stie, but there's some interesting things going on and I thought I'd throw this out there. Seems the sun is about to start on a new solar cycle, and, depending on who's article you read, we're in for it. I've actually found 3 different articles, each w/ a different spin. This one is directly from NASA, and to me the most reliable. On the other hand, this one seems to take the "we're all gonna die" approach, and doesn't explain the phenomena super clearly. In the middle is this article from National Geographic. Always so interesting to me to see the difference between real science writers and what I call science journalists.
