The Power of Swarms Can Help Us Fight Cancer, Understand the Brain, and Predict the Future - must read by +Ed Yong #longreads
The first thing to hit Iain Couzin when he walked into the Oxford lab where he kept his locusts was the smell, like a stale barn full of old hay. The second, third, and fourth things to hit him were locusts. The insects frequently escaped their cages and careened into the faces of scientists and lab techs. The room was hot and humid, and the constant commotion of 20,000 bugs produced a miasma of aerosolized insect exoskeleton. Many of the staff had to wear respirators to avoid developing severe allergies. “It wasn’t the easiest place to do science,” Couzin says.

The Return of the Super Science Circle
Okay, I'll admit, I made a mistake in retiring the Super Science Circle. I wasn't wrong; Communities are still the future and the best way to make friends here on Google+. But I realized that the Super Science Circle is simple and efficient way to get new people to see that Google+ isn't a ghost town.
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST... FOR SCIENCE!
When I was attending +ScienceOnline 2013, I must have helped dozens of people join Google+, and the first thing I had them do was import this circle. It's an invaluable tool for getting new people up to speed.
So, I just did a complete refresh on the circle. I examined every single member and judged them according to my two-part criteria:
1. Active in the last 30 days or so.
2. Regularly post on scientific topics.

Godsdammit, Google! Now what will I do for an RSS reader?
Recommendations, people. I've been a diehard Google Reader user since... it started? And yes, I know there are a variety of other RSS reading platforms out there. Yes, I can search. Yes, I can read reviews.
What I'd love is to hear from other RSS junkies like me who've made the switch or use a similar product. My key needs:
* Syncing & Portability - I log into lots of different computers and devices throughout the day.
* Categorization - I subscribe to about 100 feeds. Some are more important than others, but none is read as an individual feed. I read at the group/category level.
* Good image support - I want full posts (a setting in the XML file sent, but some readers auto-limit) that displays the images in the post, too.
And I don't care about podcast support. I have... more »

Sakurajima Volcano with Lightning
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Rietze (Alien Landscapes on Planet Earth)
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130311.html
Why does a volcanic eruption sometimes create lightning? Pictured above, the Sakurajima volcano in southern Japan was caught erupting in early January. Magma bubbles so hot they glow shoot away as liquid rock bursts through the Earth's surface from below. The above image is particularly notable, however, for the lightning bolts caught near the volcano's summit. Why lightning occurs even in common thunderstorms remains a topic of research, and the cause of volcanic lightning is even less clear. Surely, lightning bolts help quench areas of opposite but separated electric charges. One hypothesis holds that catapulting magma bubbles or volcanic ash are themselves electrically charged, and by their motion create these... more »

Asperatus Clouds Over New Zealand
Image Credit & Copyright: Witta Priester
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130227.html
What kind of clouds are these? Although their cause is presently unknown, such unusual atmospheric structures, as menacing as they might seem, do not appear to be harbingers of meteorological doom. Known informally as Undulatus asperatus clouds, they can be stunning in appearance, unusual in occurrence, are relatively unstudied, and have even been suggested as a new type of cloud. Whereas most low cloud decks are flat bottomed, asperatus clouds appear to have significant vertical structure underneath. Speculation therefore holds that asperatus clouds might be related to lenticular clouds that form near mountains, or mammatus clouds associated with thunderstorms, or perhaps a foehn wind -- a type of dry downward wind that flows off mountains. Such a wind called... more »

Hey there #amwriting folks - I've been an avid member on Twitter and have also written a couple posts for the blog. I just realized there was a G+ group as well, so here I am! I have been avoiding joining G+ communities until now, and this is the first I've joined...I think that must mean something. :)

Hey there, east-coasters, riding out the storm. Looking for something cozy to read while Sandy blows through? Download this collection to your kindle now. One reviewer describes it this way: "seven short story gems to enjoy in one long sitting before a fire or in delicious nibbles one at a time."
