Transport Response?

My parents had two favorite stories they would recount about my time as an infant.

The first was when my folks had to go somewhere and they couldn’t bring me along, They loaded me up in my bassinet (come on, folks, there were no car seats back then), put it (and me) in the back seat of the car, and then drove around the neighborhood for 15 minutes.  Because in that time, I routinely feel fast asleep.

The Festival of Lights

No Gravatar

WooHoo!  As I told you on the 13th (which was Friday the 13th), today is the first day of Chanuka. (That also means last night was the first night of the holiday.)  It’s not usual that Chanuka  virtually coincides with the holiday of Christmas.  As a matter of fact, just a few years ago, Chanuka coincided with  Thanksgiving. The holiday of Chanuka always falls on the 25th day of Kislev, which has no “fixed address” on the Gregorian calendar.

The Time Zone Shuffle Leaves Us Cold?

So, I am including these findings for two reasons.  One, the article the other day about mom’s microbiome and the potentiality for the infant to develop autism.  And, second, my recent set of travels – which thankfully left me without jet lag, although my friend had some symptoms.

Do you see the light?

Sometimes, even your hoped for results astound you. Like, Dr. Hannah Iaccarino (MIT) found when she zapped a mouse with induced (but initial stages of) Alzheimer’s disease. The light caused brain wave induction (roughly 40 oscillations per second [Hz]). And, then she found that the toxic protein levels of amyloids halved.

Let the light shine in…

No Gravatar

You know I’ve said many times that science fiction is great stuff.  Because we just suspend reality just a smidge- and then create things that can one day be real.  Now, most sci-fi tomes deal with realities we hope come true (and some with dark visions, which serve as warnings if we screw things up badly), but I’m talking about technology dreaming, not the urban planning kind of sci-fi.

3D Bioprinting

No Gravatar

I haven’t written about 3D printing in a while. It’s not because nothing is going on in that arena. After all, HP announced that it will be offering a consumer 3D printer this year. (It is 2015 by now.) It’s because I have been involved in a slew of other projects and have lost touch with the groups continuing to work in this field.
