POPSElfman slams Scientology critics "I've seen drug addicts completely rehabilitated, I've seen the illiterate become literate, I've seen people that were so depressed and hopeless completely rehabilitate their goals in life, become happier, find partners," she said. And people pick up their chairs and walk, if they have run out of money.

POPSEstate agents told me not to talk: climate expert There might be a little shit to dig up here. Real Estate agents rank somewhere above lawyers in the greed stakes. They also prefer the "celebrity method. All bullshit and no brains. The selfish morons will be out there flogging houses and complaining while armageddon is happening. This is a great house with 360degree water views because it is in the middle of the bloody ocean.

POPSMinds and myths "..Other sciences certainly do have their own myths – just think of the story of Newton and the falling apple or Archimedes leaping out of the bath following his Eureka insight. Perhaps myths just seem more prominent in psychology because we tend to talk and write about our science in terms of studies rather than facts."

POPSGene map for synthetic life created in lab The Bacterium, M. genitalium has the smallest known genome of any truly living organism, with 485 working genes all in one chromosome. Viruses are smaller, but they cannot replicate by themselves. Dr Craig Ventner is described as a celebrity scientist. Struck me as an unusual way to describe a scientist.

POPS Tipping Point For Global Warming Movement
HOLLYWOOD TARGETS CHILDREN WITH CLIMATE FEARS In addition to Gore's entry last year into Hollywood fictional disaster films,other celebrity figures have attempted to jump into the game. Hollywood activist Leonardo DiCaprio decided to toss objective scientific truth out the window in his new scarefest "The 11th Hour." DiCaprio refused to interview any scientists who disagreed with his dire vision of the future of the Earth. In fact, his film reportedly features physicist Stephen Hawking making the unchallenged assertion that "the worst-case scenario is that Earth would become like its sister planet, Venus, with a temperature of 250 centigrade." I guess these "worst-case scenario's" pass for science in Hollywood these days. It also fits perfectly with DiCaprio's stated purpose of the film. DiCaprio said on May 20th of this year: "I want the public to be very scared by what they see. I want them to see a very bleak future." (LINK) "DiCaprio's Eco Movie Bombs"

POPS50s TV Icon Dies This saddened me to hear of Don Herbert's death. I have many fond memories growing up in the 50's and being a fan of Watch Mr. Wizard. His enthusiasm for science shaped my own perception of the world. For that I say, thank you Mr. Wizard.
