Science Links:
- Human evolution shaped by...culture? This article is all about how people have inadvertently shaped their own evolution through culture (technology, pastoralism, etc). I'm sure Ben Mussett will get a kick out of this one!
- Baby monkeys receive signals through the mother's breast milk: "Our results suggest that the milk energy available soon after birth may be a nutritional cue that calibrates the infant's behavior to environmental or maternal conditions." How cool is that?!
- Need an excuse to take a nap? Researchers at UC Berkeley say naps may make you a better learner! I'll be back in an hour and a half!
Religion Links:
- Muslim med students refuse to follow hygiene guidelines. These students are willing to risk the spread of deadly diseases for the sake of their religion. Why am I not surprised?
- Atheist convicted over blasphemous cartoons "In a multicultural society, none of us should have the legal right not to be offended. This law needs to be re-examined urgently."
- Top home-school texts dismiss Darwin, evolution Home-schooling is a complex issue, but I think this is a problem.
Skeptoob!!!!
Hey! Check out our new video blog feature: Skeptoob! You should watch this because Stef, Seth, and I worked really hard on it! I'm not sure we'll be able to do this weekly; it took me a long time to edit it. Anyways, ENJOY!

If this garbage about Muslim medical practitioners makes it to the US, I hope it becomes legal to request all non-muslim doctors, nurses and medical care-givers.
As a possible patient, this both disgusts and disturbs me. I hope at the very least the hospital is under a legal obligation to inform all patients that their staff is ignoring both common sense, and best-practices and risking their health over a few silly religious doctrines.
Yes, Jeff, but you have to remember that magic will save us. Why bother washing your hands when you have UNICORN POWDER?
