Humans: Some of what we don't know

Blushing, laughter, pubic hair, teenagers, dreams, altruism, art, superstition, kissing, and, (my favorite!) nose picking.

Do you have more?

Cheerleader for Science


This comes via Fox News where a cheerleader has blog for science. It's pretty good and motivating.

It used to be people liked science for its intrinsic knowledge and for the love of discovery. Today, we don't really seem to find value in knowledge for the sake of knowing. That's too bad.

So, if a cheerleader can promote science, well, maybe people will move from seeing science as a cheer to seeing science as worthwhile in itself.
