Another Iranian Nuke Scientist Goes Poof
2012-01-11 22:01:00 Thomas Erdbrink, Washington Post: TEHRAN — An Iranian scientist involved in purchasing equipment for the Islamic Republic’s main uranium-enrichment facility was assassinated Wednesday when a magnetic bomb attached to his car exploded in morning rush-hour traffic, Iranian media reported. Iranian officials accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating the attack, which also killed the scientist’s driver. ... “The United States strongly condemns this act of violence and categorically denies any involvement in the killing,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. The only correct response for the State Department would have been, “The State Department can neither conform nor deny involvement.” Iran is not our friend and it should not be the role of the State Department to make our enemies feel better. Call it what you will, this is not smart diplomacy. Then it is Mrs. Clinton’s State Department. Link to this post!

Life! Cue thunder, mad scientist laughter
2010-05-23 21:46:00 Like I said last week, I love all that old-timey science fiction, and it's amazing to consider the advances of my lifetime. When my boyfriend holds up his phone, gives it a verbal command, and receives, in a few seconds, whatever information he needed, I really get the sensation of living in the future. On the other hand, I wish he'd put the damn thing down when he's driving.Anyway, this week's huge science news involves the always exceptional J Craig Venter Institute, where scientists have successfully created artificial DNA, injected it into a cell, and watched that cell replicate. Artificial life! (In a sense.)This announcement was immediately followed by a call to ban any such research.Look, it's too late to put the genie back in the bottle. Might be one thing if we had a pristine environment, if we weren't already past the point of no return in climate change. Perhaps then I could see the point of worrying. But now...this technology could eventually create organisms that ...

The Real Scientist Returns… Again
2010-04-19 04:54:00 Last year, after a very long absence, the Real Scientist was back in touch. Spurred on by the release of my book and hearing me on the radio, he called and asked me out to lunch. I hadn’t heard from him in ages, but was delighted. We met at a bistro in Hell’s Kitchen and had a lovely time. Neither of us was at a loss for words. I confessed that he had a chapter in my book, and happily the conversation continued rather than coming to an abrupt end. Our date was followed by several lengthy phone conversations. We made plans to meet again and he sent me a charming birthday e-card. I was beginning to believe that there was real chemistry with the Real Scientist. During our date he had alluded to health issues, and in one phone conversation he discussed his surgery although he never disclosed what the issue really was. We continued to make plans and then suddenly he disappeared. There were no more calls. There were no more e-mails. Typically responsive, the Real Scientist...

next Superman film is going to need an Indian scientist for his next advent
2008-05-29 12:18:00 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally made it to an A-list Hollywood project with the sequel of Pink Panther. Though Mallika Sherawat is often talked about when an Indian name crops up with a foreign production, it looks like Priyanka Chopra might have just pulled off the biggest prize of them all. The buzz is that the next Superman film is going to need an Indian scientist for his next adventure and the agents for the film were casting for the role amongst the NRI actresses in the US. But when they got to know that a top league Indian actress was in their country shooting for a film, they decided to see for themselves how they could aid Superman’s quest.Apparently, just before the schedule of Karan Johar’s Dostana wrapped up in Miami, the casting agents landed on the sets and had a meeting with Priyanka and went back pretty impressed by what they saw. Needless to say they already had done enough research on her even before the meeting took place and knew what the sultry ac...
