Sunday night rant: the way things should work.

I came across this article today and it put a smile on my face. A traveling malaria researcher came across anelectronic mosquito repellerfor sale in his in-flight catalog. Being an intelligent man, he realized this was total and utter BS. He also realized this product probably sells best while in-route to malaria ridden . . . → વધુ વાંચો: Sunday night rant: the way things should work.

ન્યૂ પાનું!

ઉપર જુઓ, હું તરકીબો માટે એક નવું પાનું બનાવી છે. ક્યારેય કંઈક થાય છે કેવી રીતે આશ્ચર્ય? કેવી રીતે તે મને કહો અને મને જણાવવામાં આવ્યા છે.

Stupid buttefly of the week

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disasterand don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → વધુ વાંચો: Stupid buttefly of the week

ક્ષેત્રમાં

One of the perks of being an entomologist is traveling and collecting. I put a few thousand miles on the car every summer and these are two of the best places in Arizona to collect. The top image is from the Baboquivari Mountains (Baboquivari Peak in the middle), Brown Canyon Research Station. . . . → વધુ વાંચો: ક્ષેત્રમાં

સમય વીતી ગયેલા પતંગિયા

પતંગિયામાં ખૂબ રસ ન હોવા છતાં, તેઓ જોવા માટે સુંદર છે. સધર્ન CA માં હું જેને જાણું છું તે વ્યક્તિ દ્વારા અહીં ખરેખર સરસ વિડિઓ છે. લેપિડોપ્ટેરા જીવન ચક્રના તેમના સમય-વિરામના વિડિયો ખૂબ પ્રભાવશાળી છે, અને આ ખાસ કરીને સુંદર છે. જો તમે વિશે કાપી 3:00 માં, તમે ડઝનેક જોશો . . . → વધુ વાંચો: સમય વીતી ગયેલા પતંગિયા

દુખ ભર્યું પણ સત્ય

The brief comment about Linus Pauling and Vitamin C below made me remember this video first posted a while ago by Pharyngula. This is Kary Mullis, the inventor of PCR, and a Nobel Prize winner. His invention basically made DNA analysis possible. But like Pauling, he is also completely and totally nuts. If you have . . . → વધુ વાંચો: દુખ ભર્યું પણ સત્ય

OK butterfly people, who am I?

This is an old image of mine, so it’s not perfect. If you can tell me this butterfly to species you get a high-five. If you know the subspecies, I’ll send you a new pack of #3 stainless steel pins! Only hint: It’s from the western USA.

NY Times FAILAcupuncture

Today I found this article in NY times healthtouting the benefits of acupuncture used for depression relief in pregnant women. I have a few problems with the journalist, Shirley S. Wang, failing to remain skeptical in her piece. But this comes as no surprise, so I won’t bother to point out obvious flaws . . . → વધુ વાંચો: NY Times FAILAcupuncture

મિંગ માતાનો માન્યતા

I love Ming Tsai and his cooking empire as much as the next 3-am TV viewer. ખરેખર, his recipes are fantastic and you should make them yourself. But I have noticed an odd tendency for him to say (paraphrased) “you should always use organic, it’s much better for you”. This leaves me a bit puzzled. . . . → વધુ વાંચો: મિંગ માતાનો માન્યતા
