World's Tallest Domestic Cat, the Savannah Cat, Resembles a Leopard has the Personality of a Dog But Can Chirp Like a Bird?

Worlds Tallest Domestic Cat, the Savannah Cat, Resembles a Leopard has the Personality of a Dog But Can Chirp Like a Bird?
2013-02-18
Residents in suburban neighborhoods are not accustom to seeing miniature "pet cheetahs" walking around. Calling the local fish and wildlife authorities thinking a bobcat might be on the prowl they are unaware the breed thrives on human interaction and behave, for the most part, like your average domestic cat breed. Michelle Mills, owner of F1Hybrids Savannahs, responded; "Savannahs have no relation to a Bobcat, Leopard, or Ocelot, nor the body type or pattern of any of those breeds. The greatest differentiation is the temperament of a Savannah compared ...

Brown University scientists to discuss resilience of coastal communities at AAAS

In the blink of an eye: X-ray imaging on the attosecond timescale

2013-02-17
In the blink of an eye, more attoseconds have expired than the age of Earth measured in – minutes. A lot more. To be precise, an attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second. The attosecond timescale is where you must go to study the electron action that is the starting point of all of chemistry. Not surprisingly, chemists are most eager to explore it with X-rays, the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that can probe the core electrons of atoms, the electrons that uniquely identify atomic species. Heralded as the science of the 21st century by Science and ...

Thirsty crops and hungry people: Symposium to examine realities of water security

2013-02-17
You may have guzzled a half-liter bottle of water at lunchtime, but your food and clothes drank a lot more. The same half-liter that quenched your thirst also produces only about one square-inch of bread or one square-inch of cotton cloth. Agriculture is in fact one of the world's most insatiable consumers of water. And yet it's facing growing competition for water from cities, industry, and recreation at a time when demand for food is rising, and water is expected to become increasingly scarce. Take irrigation, for example, says Fred Vocasek, senior lab agronomist with ...

Get your brain fit

2013-02-17
PRESENTATION TITLE: A Vision for Excelling in Mental Health and Well-Being We all know the importance of keeping healthy and are familiar with the refrains of 'exercise more', 'eat better' and 'get regular physicals'.

Professor Barbara Sahakian, best known for her expertise on cognitive enhancers, challenges society (and government) to prioritise mental health in the same way as we do physical health. "As a society, we take our mental health for granted," said Prof Sahakian. "But just like our bodies, it is important to keep our brains ...

US science policy should focus on outcomes not efficiencies, says ASU professor

2013-02-17
BOSTON – Given the huge investment and power of science and technology in the U.S. it is surprising that more attention isn't paid to the policy decisions that drive the enterprise, said Daniel Sarewitz, co-director of the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes (CSPO) at Arizona State University. What appears to be missing from the equation, he added, is a focus on outcomes. Sarewitz was speaking at the 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston. "Given the power of science and technology to shape and even transform ...

2013-02-17
BOSTON – It has been more than 50 years since Rachel Carson published her groundbreaking book Silent Spring. Regarded as a hero by some and a villain by others, Carson helped revolutionize the way the public views environmental science. One area of Carson's career that is often overlooked is her time as a government employee. This is where she got her true start in journalism and it is the area G. Pascal Zachary, professor of practice with the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University, will be discussing at the 2013 American Association ...

Key to cleaner environment may be right beneath our feet

2013-02-17
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- While many people recognize that clean water and air are signs of a healthy ecosystem, most do not realize that a critical part of the environment is right beneath their feet, according to a Penn State hydrologist. The ground plays an important role in maintaining a clean environment by serving as a natural water filtration and purification system, said Henry Lin, professor of hydropedology and soil hydrology. Understanding the components that make up this integral part of the ecosystem can lead to better groundwater management and smarter environmental ...
