Here’s an interesting article from The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com

Jeff Schweitzer: Sessions Obsessions Hatch a Conspiracy

Here’s a new post from The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) used his bully pulpit as the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to be a bully during the first day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court candidate Elena Kagan. His opening remarks were a series of unsubstantiated personal attacks with the primary intent of degrading the nominee. This of course is to be expected from the right, which has made hypocrisy an art form and inconsistency a virtue in their differential treatment of Republican and Democratic nominees to the Court.

Larry Bock: Let’s Put Discovery Back into Our Science Classrooms!

Here’s an interesting post from The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com

It’s funny what inspires one toward a career in science or engineering. Kary Mullins who earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993, says it was the experience of growing up in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina that did it for him. There, in a more simple and idyllic time than today, he had the freedom to build and launch his own rockets, and to dream while exploring the biodiversity in the woods, the swamp and the orchards near his home.
