Eve Marder's Life in Neuroscience (BS147)
Charlotte Nassim's new book Lessons from the Lobster: Eve Marder's Work in Neuroscience describes the intellectual journey of one of neuroscientists true pioneers. Not only has Dr. Marder been part of the field since its early days, but she has consistently done paradigm shifting work. Although Nassim never mentions the Nobel Prize, I suspect that many readers will come away convinced that Marder deserves that award.In BS 147 I provide an overview of Marder's career based on Nassim's meticulous research. The emphasis is on Marder's key contributions including those related to neuromodulation, the dynamic clamp technique, a...

"Grimestopper" -- The Discovery Files
Spray it on, brush it on, spin it on: A newly developed durable, clear coating is "omniphobic," meaning it repels virtually every known liquid. By mixing mathematical possibilities on the computer, researchers discovered the right set of ingredients to concoct the coating, which could potentially prevent surfaces from getting grimy, both at home and in industry.

"Spoof Proof" -- The Discovery Files
A new study describes a computer algorithm that mitigates the effects of "spoof" GPS attacks ? malicious GPS signals that provide the wrong time or location -- on electrical grids and other GPS-reliant technologies. Researchers believe this new algorithm has the potential to help cybersecurity professionals to better detect and prevent cyberattacks in real time by recognizing and countering the false signals when they occur.

Does personalised advice via computer or mobile devices reduce heavy drinking?
The Cochrane Drugs and Alcohol Group has produced several reviews of the effects of interventions intended to reduce heavy drinking. The collection was extended in September 2017 with an investigation of the use a computer to provide personalised advice. We asked one of the authors, Fiona Beyer from Newcastle University in the UK, to tell us what they found. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Unearthed letters reveal changes in Fields Medal awards, and predicting crime with computers is no easy feat
Freelance science writer Michael Price talks with Sarah Crespi about recently revealed deliberations for a coveted mathematics prize: the Fields Medal. Unearthed letters suggest early award committees favored promise and youth over star power.
Sarah also interviews Julia Dressel about her Science Advances paper on predicting recidivism—the likelihood that a criminal defendant will commit another crime. It turns out computers aren’t better than people at these types of predictions, in fact—both are correct only about 65% of the tim e.
Jen Golbeck interviews Paul Shapiro about his book, Clean Meat: How Growing Me...
