Ever since there have been scientists, there have been those who are wildly successful, publishing one well-received paper after another, and those who are not. And since nearly the same time, there have been scholars arguing over what makes the difference.

What is it that turns one scientist into more of a Darwin and another into more of a dud?

According to the study, published in February in Oikos, a highly respected scientific journal, the more beer a scientist drinks, the less likely the scientist is to publish a paper or to have a paper cited by another researcher, a measure of a paper’s quality and importance. (more…)

You have probably heard of will.i.am’s YouTube sensation Yes, We Can - a video tribute to Barack Obama.

Well, whether that video moved you to tears or eye rolls, some friends and I put together a little something in way of part parody, part homage (we’re calling it a “parage”) called No, You Can’t.

We feel it nicely captures the voices aligned with the status quo, big money and special interests who most want to “stay the course” in November.

Brought to you by the same spoiled brats who brought you Billionaires for Bush. Creative Team: Melody Bates (producer), Elissa Jiji (producer), Marco Ceglie (writer/post-production genius), Andrew Boyd (other writer/post-production sub-genius), Tom Blake (camera), Nancy Solomon (hair and makeup), Eddie Martinez (editor), Ken Rosser (guitar), Brian Fairbanks & Justin Krebs & Cliff Tasner (co-conspirators), Kim & Philippo (dog wrangling).
