February’s Scientist In Residence that I am way behind on introducing is Jarrett Byrnes, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). I have a lot of respect for Jarrett for not only his mad blogging skills at the cleverly name i’m a chordata! urochordata! but for his impressive research . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence Jarrett Brynes: How Are Extinctions and Invasions Shaping Food Webs?

Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Diatoms and X-ray Whosamagidgets avatar

In a recent paper, de Jonge et al used x-ray fluorescence tomography to give us a new perspective on how diatoms put together those phenomenally intricate frustules of theirs. “X-ray whosamagidget” you say? My thoughts exactly. Let’s break it down. First: X-rays. High-energy waves that help doctors see our bones. Check. Second: fluorescence. Fluorescence is . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Diatoms and X-ray Whosamagidgets

Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Confronting Climate Change Skeptics avatar

I thought it a good time to lay down a primer on how to talk with a climate skeptic, especially when they’re trying to swindle you. First, it’s good to know that most skeptic arguments begin with a fact. At best, this fact is taken out of context. At worst, this fact (or data . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Confronting Climate Change Skeptics

Dear Diatoms, You are pretty, and I like you. Haeckel liked you too, so did Gaudi. Obviously, they appreciated the little things in life. While you still make appearances now and again in modern life, let’s face it: being microscopic and aquatic, recognition is an up-current battle, and you can’t swim. Perhaps obscurity suits you? . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on the To Humble Diatom
