I am in favor of the idea of having an Ethical Code of Practice for scientists, similar to the Hippocratic Oath used in the medical profession. No one can make anyone be an ‘ethical’ person, however having an oath brings the topic up and forces scientists to think it through, it also shows that ethics are [...]

Google continues to demonstrate its utility. A scientist using Google Earth discovered a “7,000 hectares of forest, rich in biodiversity” in northern Mozambique. The forest was subsequently inventoried by a British-led expedition, which described several new species.

Every day more people in our nation are learning about “the green movement” thanks to a newly elected President who pushes for environmental education and an old President who ruined many people’s environments. But this learning is not just happening in the US: it’s also happening to our neighbors in Canada. Scientists at the University of Manatoba in Winnipeg have figured

Some marine biologists speculate that whales, and other Cetaceans, could be as intelligent as humans, and may even have several unknown communicative abilities... Wow! Cetaceans are known to be among the most clever and intelligent of all mammals.

I was watching the news a few days back, and a story about cancer and cell phone use came on during the nightly health segment. Now, this isn’t anything new; however, a certain line in the piece started my mind on something I always found troubling: “Scientists say,...”Yes, this one simple phrase has kept me up on several occasions. Admittedly, it probably had more to do with something I ate

A sociologist at Rutgers University questioned more than 150 scientists whose work was relevant to a 2003 political clash between several members of Congress, a Christian lobbyist group called the Traditional Values Coalition, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

We are all familiar with the question - "Are you a man or a mouse?" What if the answer is "a little of both"? Because of the power of molecular genetics research in animals and the maturation of animal models, the path to identifying genes involved in particular types of behavior, such as fear, is much clearer in animals than in humans. There is new evidence that the genes implicated in these anim
