Where Should Tax Dollars Be Spent: On Prisons or Education?

There is an oft-repeated refrain that budgets are moral documents, reflecting the values of the people who created them. What does it say, then, that the United States continues to spend more and more money locking up its citizens, while at the same time cutting funding for higher education? In 1980, approximately 220 of every 100,000 people in the United States were incarcerated. Now, the U.S. incarceration rate is a staggering 743 per 100,000 residents. Approximately one-quarter of these inmates are imprisoned on non-violent drug charges. During the same time period, ...

Mosquito virus could lead to new vaccines and drugs

A mosquito sample collected three decades ago in Israel's Negev Desert has yielded an unexpected discovery: a previously unknown virus that's closely related to some of the world's most dangerous mosquito-borne pathogens but, curiously, incapable of infecting non-insect hosts. Researchers believe this attribute could make the Eilat virus a uniquely useful tool for studying other alphaviruses, a genus of largely mosquito-borne pathogens that includes the viruses responsible for chikungunya, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis and eastern equine ...

The old adage "you are what you eat" is helping scientists better understand the threatened loggerhead turtle, which is the primary nester on Central Florida's beaches. A study published today in the journal PLOS ONE describes how scientists at the University of Central Florida used a technique that links chemical signatures of the turtles' diets and their watery environments to their migratory routes. They found the technique just as effective as expensive satellite tracking. Little is known about the turtles, which spend 99 percent of their time in the water and return ...
