		<title>One small step for a bacterium&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;one giant leap backwards for man.
A recent paper out of Richard Lenski&#8217;s lab at MSU details the evolution of a Cit+ strain of E. coli among the 12 replicate lines that are part of the Long Term Experiment in Evolution running in his lab
I haven&#8217;t read the paper yet, but from the abstract, it seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>But, but&#8230;  Mom said&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two doctors decided to look through past research papers to see if any of those bits of advice/admonishment about how much water you must drink or how you&#8217;d ruin your eyes if you read in candle light had any truth to them.
Their research was published this week in the British Medical Journal, and the Guardian [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not so fast, light!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A physicist at Harvard, Lene Vestergaard Hau, slowed down a beam of light and even stopped it inside a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC.) If that wasn&#8217;t enough, she even moved the frozen one from one BEC to another!

		<title>Empty Again.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician are sitting in a café and notice people going into and coming out of the house across the street. First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while, they notice three persons coming out of the house.
The physicist: &#8220;The measurement was not accurate.&#8221;

		<title>The Inner Life of a Cell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For all biologists who couldn&#8217;t think in 3-D, and were bored of illustrations in text books. This will really show you how dynamic life is, even at the level of a single cell.

David Bolinsky, former lead medical illustrator at Yale, lead animator John Leibler, and Mike Astrachan are some of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been following us at the Blogspot blog, its great to see you here! While we&#8217;re still sort of working out how this blog is going to shape up here (including a name change possibly), the content is not going to change.
I guess a science blog will fit right in at a site called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going google-eyed over AI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It all started with this blog post by John Battelle which mentioned Larry Page talking about AI at an AAAS conference.
Who wouldn&#8217;t be interested? Harish and I watched the short clip on ZDnet and we were both a bit taken aback by what Page was saying. (You can get a video of the complete speech [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Diet Coke and Mentos Experiments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Now if only science experiments in schools and colleges were like this!
What a great way to learn about the contents of carbonated beverages, a common candy, materials science (the surface of the Mentos), theories about boiling, phase transitions, nucleation sites&#8230; and more!
(If you&#8217;re too lazy to wait for the video [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stranger than fiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes science can be stranger than fiction.
Like this innovative way to settle an age old controversy &#8211; that of whether brain cells can form anew after birth it is a well known fact that brain cells once formed are not made again. unlike say for example the skin cells which are shed and then replaced. [...]]]></description>
