Pazar gecesi rant: işlerin gerektiği şekilde.

Bugün bu yazı geldi ve yüzümde bir gülümseme koymak. Bir seyahat sıtma araştırmacı bir rastladım “elektronik sivrisinek kovucu” onun uçak içi katalog satılık. Zeki bir adam olmak, o bu toplam ve mutlak BS olduğunu fark. O da bu ürün muhtemelen basmış sıtma için rota en iyi süre satıyor fark . . . → Devamı: Pazar gecesi rant: işlerin gerektiği şekilde.

New page!

Look above, I’ve created a new page for techniques. Ever wonder how something is done? Ask me how and I will illustrate.

Haftanın aptal buttefly

Bu kelebeği bilin? Tamam, kimse gerçekten yok. Bu cins Apodemia olduğu (Riodinidae), ancak bu grubun taksonomi bir felaket… ve hatta bana alttür girmeyelim. Bu numune Eylül ayında fotoğraflandı, Bunu anlamı Apodemia Mormo olması muhtemeldir (Bir almak gerekir) tabanlı . . . → Devamı: Haftanın aptal buttefly

In the field

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. . . . → Devamı: In the field

Time-lapse butterflies

Despite being pretty disinterested in butterflies, they are pretty to look at. Here is a really great video by a guy I know down in Southern CA. His time-lapse videos of lepidoptera life cycles are pretty impressive, and this one in particular is beautiful. If you cut to about 3:00 içinde, you will see dozens . . . → Devamı: Time-lapse butterflies

Sad but true

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 . . . → Devamı: Sad but true

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 FAIL – Akupunktur

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 . . . → Devamı: NY Times FAIL – Akupunktur

Ming’s Myth

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