Oh, So You Compost? Neat. These People Invented a Closed Kitchen Ecosystem.

Food waste accounts for a disturbing amount of trash in the U.S. It would be nice if everyone could recycle some of that food waste back into the food web.

Composting is one idea, but not everyone has the stomach for that, especially indoors. Check out this idea from FastCompany. It’s like nature meets Ikea!

Global Warming’s Six Americas

This Yale survey gives some encouraging news, and some details on which communication strategies we should focus on in order to reach those who need to be reached. The good news?

~65% of Americans are at least “Cautious” or higher in their belief/concern about global warming. I think this shows that strategies to motivate those in the center and to convince those on the right end of the scale need to be separated and further developed as their own strategies.

More, and some insight from a Google communications workshop at Dot Earth.

“When a wise man does not understand, he says: “I do not understand.” The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom”

“Technology, in common with many other activities, tends toward avoidance of risks by investors. Uncertainty is ruled out if possible. Capital investment follows this rule, since people generally prefer the predictable. Few recognize how destructive this can be, how it imposes severe limits on variability and thus makes whole populations fatally vulnerable to the shocking ways our universe can throw the dice.”

“Muad’Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It’s shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad’Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”

Science Is Tops: Highest-Paying Majors

I know we’ve seen lots of bad news recently regarding the graduate degree job market in sciences. If you don’t believe me just browse my archive!

Thought I would change it up on ya and give you some good news, a little silver lining on that cloud … keep at it, fellow scientists!

“The laws of the chemical dynamics of a structured system of the kind described will be precisely those laws, or at least a very important section of those laws, which govern the evolution of a system comprising living organisms.”

““chez tous les etres vivants le milieu interieur qui est un produit de l’organisme, conserve les rapports necessaires d’echange avec le milieu exterieur; mais a mesure que l’organisme devient plus parfait, le milieu organique se specifie et s’isole en quelque sorte de plus en plus du milieu ambiant.””

- Claude Bernard - quoted in Elements of Mathematical Biology by Alfred Lotka.
