About me
A 43 year old science guy living in Boulder CO. If you find me irritating it is because I grew-up on the East Coast - that pretty much can explain most things.

Interests include: the outdoors, the environment, human society, politics, government, perceptions of reality, science, global warming, complexity theory
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks is addictive as hell. STAY AWAY! Also, It's a great way to learn new things and "meet" interesting people.

Escalating Ice Loss Found in Antarctica
kmcolo
by kmcolo  1-14-2008    4
  The new finding comes days after the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the group's next report should look at the "frightening" possibility that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica could melt rapidly at the same time.

Gender differences in agression
kmcolo
by kmcolo  4-24-2006   
 Women are more likely than men to experience their own acts of aggression as a loss of self-control than as trying to gain control over others. The authors propose that this has to do with women having a higher tolerance level for anger before inhibitory control is lost.

The Evolution of Animal Body Plans: GRNs
kmcolo
by kmcolo  2-10-2006   
 There has been little grand scale change in the body morphology (1 head, (4,6,8) appendages, 2 eyes, etc. ) of animals since the Early Cambrian (over 500 million years ago). Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) guide body morphology. The authors identify areas in GRNs that are very resistant to change and thus explain this consistent morphology.
