POPSArdi Oldest Human Ancestor n it's Female :D Nicknamed Ardi, the 4.4 millionyear-old female partial skeleton, Ardipithecus ramidus,was discovered in the Ethiopia in 1994. It took a team of 47 international scientists approximately 15 years to piece together her fragile remains in order to reveal her significance. Some of the questions answered by studying Ardi include how hominids became bipedal (walk on two feet) and revealing the first evolutionary steps taken by our ancestors after humans diverged from a common ancestor we once shared with chimpanzees http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/ardipithecus/ardipithecus.html

POPSImplicit: Discovering Your Unconscious Bias This site presents some amazing tests that help you explore your hidden beliefs. More from the site below: "Project Implicit blends basic research and educational outreach in a virtual laboratory at which visitors can examine their own hidden biases. Project Implicit is the product of research by three scientists whose work produced a new approach to understanding of attitudes, biases, and stereotypes. The Project Implicit site (implicit.harvard.edu) has been functioning as a hands-on science museum exhibit, allowing web visitors to experience the manner in which human minds display the effects of stereotypic and prejudicial associations acquired from their socio-cultural environment."

POPSRussia to start 5th generation fighter tests in 2010 At least they're having some difficulties. We had the production run of the F 22 Raptor (5th Gen). We canceled it. We keep the F35 because we can sell this aircraft and share costs with other countries, mainly Britain and Israel. Both want access to "secret code" but, so far, the answer is NO..heh

POPSRunning Doc: PLEASE "do the aspirin"! More: Now, it's true that one case doesn’t prove anything. The International Marathon Medical Directors Association is meeting in March 2010 to develop a multi-city, multi-country research project. It may be that all runners develop high serum myoglobins, since they clear quickly (sometime within one day) -- but they also interact in the body, creating a cascade of other inflammatory elevations that may be markers of risk and may help us to get a better handle on SCD. As Dr. Siegel says: “Like the runner herein, these SCD victims during races can be saved. But wouldn't it make even more sense to try to prevent the SCD's in the first place? Taking aspirin may just do the trick." You can help us make this research project "smarter." If you happen to visit your doctor within 24 hours after finishing a full or half-marathon, please bring a copy of this post with you, record the information below, then e-mail the results to us

POPSNASAfinds significant water on moon
Although the goal of the $79 million mission was to determine whether there is water on the moon, discoveries in other areas are expected as studies progress, Colaprete and other scientists said at the briefing at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Francisco, California. "The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began. Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington, said the latest discovery also could unlock the mysteries of the solar system. He listed several options as sources for the water, including solar winds, comets, giant molecular clouds or even the moon itself through some kind of internal activity. The Earth also may have a role, Wargo said. "If the water that was formed or deposited is billions of years old, these polar cold traps could hold a key to the history and evolution of the solar system, much as an ice core sa

Camboué built a small, hand-driven machine to extract silk from up to 24 spiders at once, without harming them.
