What Is Life?
Zombies and the walking dead make for good copy, but do little to advance our understanding of life and death. Unfortunately, neither did the National Geographic with a cover article entitled, "The Science of Death: Coming Back from the Beyond." The article issues forth just about every misconception of life that permeates our national discussion. Sam Parnia, a critical care physician and author of the book Erasing Death, is quoted as saying that death "is a process, not a moment." So far so good.

And not just quality sleep for one night, but chronically well-rested, well-rested over a long period of time? That's probably a little harder. For college students, this phenomenon is all too familiar. Having just become self-sustaining adults, students are learning for the first time how to balance work, rest, and fun. The growing pains are showing. Research at the University of Alabama suggests that 60 percent of college students aren't getting enough sleep,...

Using Smarter Stoves to Combat Household Air Pollution
By Bjørn LomborgMar 16 2016 (The Daily Star, Bangladesh)When it comes to cooking indoors over open fires, the harmful health effects can be equal to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
