About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

If we can speed up Global Warming, then we surely can speed it DOWN, or even STOP it! If we try hard now, then we can be more carefree about the subject later. You people who don't care are the ones who are going to be straight in the path of carma! If you care about the spread of Global Warming, and stoppingit then take these steps: Do NOT be lazy and ride everywhere you go, even if you have a Hybrid car. When brushing your teeth, put water in a cup, and swish eachtime you need to spit (dont spit too often). Use compact flourescent lightbulbs. When doing dishes, turn the water off when washing or drying (I mean seriously...be reasonable). When doing the dishes, use lukewarm water. Set up one day each week (or less) that you want to take a bath, and the rest of the time take showers. Use leave-in conditioner, and put it on after you get out of the shower and your hair is still wet. If you lean over the tub to just wash your hair, use lukewarm water, not HOT water. Re-use your towels at least once. Use hand towels to dry "sensitive" areas (don't re-use this though). Learn to knit and sew so you don't have to order blankets and such from the factories that produce them. When you go to throw away that bad homework grade, bill, receipt, or any other unwanted piece of paper, plastic, or even soda can, throw it into the recycling bin. Buy a cloth recyclable bag from Wal-Mart, JCPenny's, or maybe K-mart. Do with these options what you will, but don't leave a mean comment about them just because you don't want to do any of them.
