During the educational reform efforts of the No Child Left Behind Act, females achieved parity with males on math tests for the first time in history, yet stereotypes die hard.  Some people think females are just not as good at math.  Is there truth to it?
What happens when genomics and synthetic biology labs get together?  Anti-science people flip out.  Because, you know, anti-science hippies think scientists are inhuman crazies without families who only care about breaking the laws of nature (maniacal laugh).

It's the team-up no one ever expected to see; video game characters and...fashion. 

But it has. The latest issue of Arena Homme+, a men's fashion magazine, has a CGI photo shoot of Final Fantasy video game characters showing off the Prada 2012 Men's Spring/Summer Collection. So much for continuity.  What's next, medieval knights driving tanks? Cylons fighting Jedi?

Whatever.  If you want to see Lightning, Noel, Snow, Sazh and Hope styled for action in Prada, your wish has come true.  If you ever thought models looked unrealistically unattainable before, it's only getting worse.

Most of the characters look something like this in the game:

Neutrinos come in three "flavors", electron, muon and tau, but they are able to 'morph' between the different types, a change called neutrino oscillation.  

People don't always see it , especially if social change does not move fast enough for their special interest, but the military has always been on the forefront of social issues. 

A famous American general, John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, got that nickname because he proudly commanded the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry - the "Negro Cavalry" as Native Americans of the 19th century called them - and Pershing didn't want it any other way.  He wanted to win and that meant the best people.

I got a private message from Gerhard Adam which went "I'm getting used to being called a moron, etc. but why do they have to pick on the cowboy hat?"

Why indeed?  Hats used to be cool but they don't even wear them on "Mad Men" any more.  Hats are out of vogue even on fake romanticized shows about our past.


The official Science 2.0 hat from this day on.
