Tropicalis Lab Notes

Get em while they're hot!
or for me its "read em and weep."

Big Science!

There's not much that could eclipse the USA science noble trove. Except maybe my much anticipated Tropicalis Lab Notes. However, this NYT article and the the ideas it reports on are game changing concepts and show the flip side of cognitive development.

Update: Dascal Lab

The Dascal Lab post Images were taken by Berlin Shai, a PhD student from the lab of Professor Dascal. Google search, Berlin Shai.Berlin, they are truly fascinating!

Take One: Nobel Prize for Obama

I sorta get the premature arguments...but, Nobel committees have to DO THINGS too. What he's put out there has been right, what he's acted on has been right, his language has been right and his intellect as sharp as his stage unequalled. There's been a ripple effect through consciousness-in many areas-a soothing of the edginess for many in the world. And the surprise of his election, given many think we're racists, simple, war-mongering, provincial, elitist, etc. really threw a curve at the perceptions of the USA. I mean what a guy for the moment! For example: In terms of the posturing by politicians worldwide referring to the evil empire-You can’t stir people up or win votes anymore asking to vote against the USA as opposed to for some good policy. The ripple effect, in this sense, has been multi-faceted and could go on and on and on.

In this sense, who cares about premature?

Adding this up gets you a Nobel as much deserved, accidental or even premature, as anyone’s in history.
