The Four Educative Drives
I have recently come across the blog and work of Peter Gray, and am finding it very useful to see things from his perspective– which at times is very much aligned with my own.
In one of his posts he talks about self-directed education and the four basic drives in all children around which [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

Assisted dying: should doctors help patients to die?
The Royal College of Physicians will survey all its members in February on this most controversial question. It says that it will move from opposition to neutrality on assisted dying unless 60% vote otherwise.
The BMJ explores several conflicting views. From Canada, palliative care doctor Sandy Buchman explains why he sees medical aid in dying as a compassionate treatment that fully respects patient autonomy. The Canadian Medical Association is neutral on the issue, and Jeff Blackmer, its vice president for international health, shares how that stance enabled it to represent all its members, including doctors with consci...

The universe ’s star formation history and a powerful new helper for evolution
In a fast-changing environment, evolution can be slow —sometimes so slow that an organism dies out before the right mutation comes along. Host Sarah Crespi speaks with Staff Writer Elizabeth Pennisi about how plastic traits—traits that can alter in response to environmental conditions—could help life catch up.
Also on this week’s show, host Me agan Cantwell talks with Marco Ajello a professor of physics and astronomy at Clemson University in South Carolina about his team’s method to determine the universe’s star formation history. By looking at 739 blazars, supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, A...
