Greetings!

Does anyone know where I can get data about repeats in the genome of Clamydomonas reinhardtii. I looked through www.chlamy.org and in google, but found nothing.

Thanks in advance....

Way, way, way back in undergrad, I was told the answer to this was known. It surfaced in my mind again walking to work this morning as I was trying to puzzle out the movie Primer. I'm not a physicist, so I thought I would put it to this group and see if anyone knows the answer.

If the sun were to vanish suddenly (no, I don't know how, just say that the FSM did it) it would take eight minutes (more or less) before we on earth were plunged into darkness.

What about gravity? Would the earth immediately take off on a tangent to it's orbit or would it continue to orbit the empty spot for eight minutes?

Why? The speed of light in a vacuum is the "speed limit" for the universe. Is gravity bound by this? How does gravity "work" in this case?

I've been trying to track down an interactive visualization of different magnitudes of length that I once saw, but it's been impossible to google my way to it. Maybe someone here remembers it?

It's similar to the Utah cell size and scale flash animation but instead with detailed and slightly unsettling black and silhouettes of different objects such as insects, elephants, atoms, mount fuji, the solar system and such. So unlike the Utah animation it has both the very small and very large. The silhouettes are arranged so that as you move the slider to zoom in or out, you see the objects alongside each other.


Edit: xx_sprout found it! :-D It's Universcale by Nikon

A couple of weeks back, I earned the serious contempt of my lab-mates by leaving our (one and only) UV cabinet on over night, with a gel inside it, thus dehydrating my gel to the point where it fused to the cabinet. Uh-oh. We did sort it out in the end without totally wrecking the equipment, but I had some proper dog house time for it.

Not long afterwards, my supervisor regailed our undergrads with a story of how, in the early weeks of his PhD, he didn't secure the rotor in a centrifuge sufficiently well, and it took off, destroying the inside of the centrifuge, and mangling the ovaries and placenta in it into the bargain.

So I just wondered: what, to date, has been your worst lab cock up? How did it happen? Did you try to hide it? And what were the consequences....

Anybody got opinions about baffled flasks vs. regular?

Do you ever wish you could go back in time, just to tell someone "You know, you're *right*. It does work!"?

Possibly not coincidentally, NPR ran a segment on the Difference Engine (the slightly less complex version of the Analytical Engine), which was just recently built (neither was ever more than designs in Ada or Babbages lifetimes). There's an *awesome* video of the thing working.

It gives me shivers; just wish she could have seen her programs run on the thing.

Does anyone know of a science dictionary that can be downloaded for Mac OS X, or or specific programs like OpenOffice and Safari? What I mean is, something that can add common scientific terms to the dictionary so that the red squiggly line doesn't appear every time I type them. I know that these words can be added individually, but since I use them so much, and do rely on the automatic spellcheck to catch typos and words I truly didn't know how to spell, it would be nice to preload some common terms. It's finals week and I've been doing a lot of computer work these past few days, and it's annoying having to add words like monosulfide and mycete to the dictionary. I'm slowly building my computer's vocabulary, but I'm always surprised at how many terms I haven't added yet.

Scientific researches in Antarctica linked to enormous difficulties not only because of the harsh climatic conditions on the mainland of the continent, but also because of the high cost of preparations for the expeditions. In turn, the high expedition’s costs depend on the inaccessibility of the Antarctic for the marine vessels and aircrafts. As a rule, only icebreakers can go to the Antarctic latitudes. The air traffic is even more difficult because of the extreme hardship building of landing strips on the ice-covered continent.


In this small article we would like to suggest some non-trivial approaches to solve traffic problems in Antarctica.

Hey guys. I'm racking my brain, trying to think if I've missed any software that scientists use for basic data analysis. Can anyone suggest anything that should be added to this list?

• Matlab
• Mathematica
• Maple
• Excel (yes, really)

Thanks in advance!

Edited to add:
Which ones do you think are the most widely used?

If it is something that is used in every day life (like Excel), it's even more interesting to me.

Guys!

Please help me with this article.

Herr Professor has his latest manuscript reviews back, and he's not thrilled with the editorial decision.
