Is This Virtual Worm the First Sign of the Singularity?

by
ALEXIS C. MADRIGAL

"For all the talk of artificial intelligence and all the games of SimCity that have been played, no one in the world can actually simulate living things. Biology is so complex that nowhere on Earth is there a comprehensive model of even a single simple bacterial cell. 

And yet, these are exciting times for "executable biology," an emerging field dedicated to creating models of organisms that run on a computer. Last year, Markus Covert's Stanford lab created the best ever molecular model of a very simple cell. To do so, they had to compile information from 900 scientific publications. An editorial that accompanied the study in the journal Cell was titled, "The Dawn of Virtual Cell Biology."

In January of this year, the one-billion euro Human... more »

New Paper Showing Glacier Loss, Sea Level Rise

A new paper by Gardner et al. in Science uses satellite data from +NASA to quantify changes in glaciers over the past decade. The paper reports that glaciers outside of the large Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have lost as much combined mass as the large ice sheets, and have contributed approximately 30% of the observed sea level rise. The authors also found that all regions lost glacier mass during the 2003-2009 period. These are important results because they quantify the contribution of the many smaller glaciers around the world to global sea level rise.

The peer-reviewed paper is here:

Recruits: Paramedics is an observational documentary series that follows a group of trainee students and paramedics as they train to become part of ‘one the most trusted professions in the world’. The trainees will learn the hard way – first hand, in the field - how to deal with everything from cuts and bruises and heart attacks to the trauma of a high speed car crash. With unprecedented access to the Ambulance Service of NSW, the series will give audiences a unique insight into the extensive training each paramedic undertakes to equip them with the clinical skill they’ll need for a long career on the road.

Oops! ... Wikipedia - "The Montparnasse derailment occurred at 4 pm on 22 October 1895 when the Granville–Paris Express overran the buffer stop at its Gare Montparnasse terminus. With the train several minutes late and the driver trying to make up for lost time, it entered the station too fast and the train air brake failed. After running through the buffer stop, the train crossed the station concourse and crashed through the station wall before falling onto the Place de Rennes below, where it stood on its nose. A woman in the street below was killed by falling masonry. The driver was fined 50 francs and one of the guards 25 francs. The train was outside the station in this position for several days ..." http://bit.ly/15C5bM0

Blast Wall

A man walks through a destroyed apartment building in Reyhanli in Turkey's Hatay province. Two car bombs exploded in the small town close to the Syrian border Saturday, killing 43 and injuring 140 people. The area is known as hub for Syrian refugees and rebel activity. Ankara fears the pepetrators may have had ties to Syrian intelligence, but Damascus has denied the charges.

Animation of the History of CO2 Emissions

Here is an animation from Robert Andres at NOAA's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) showing the map of annual carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and cement production over the past 250 years. It is very interesting to watch different countries emerge as substantive emitters at different times during the timeseries.

The animation is available online here:

Shelf Cloud, Saskatchewan
Photograph by Gunjan Sinha

"The day began as any other storm-chasing day in the Canadian Prairies. My girlfriend and I followed this particular storm from its birth and observed as it formed this gorgeous shelf structure eight hours later, at the end of the day. The photo was taken just southeast of Fillmore, Saskatchewan, along Highway 33. I used my Pentax K200D camera with f/5.6, 1/200-second exposure and a basic 55mm lens to capture this unforgettable moment. —Gunjan Sinha"
