Science thread

[Ivo]

It appeared to me that the forum may benefit from a thread dedicated to discussing science - both established one and new developments.
This can be a dedicated place to ask questions, discuss your thoughts, or just sharing something interesting you saw on the news.

My question is: WHY DO LAB COATS HAVE THAT ROPE IN THE BACK? WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Seriously, nobody knows.

I occasionally pick up this magazine. Pop science stuff, but amusing late night reading.

Make Magazine is one of my favorites. A subscription I do not regret having and there are tons of great projects and cutting edge DIY things in it.

I've been hedging on getting a Make subscription and paying attention if a Maker Fair happens near me.

When MakerFair hits NYC again I'm going to try and go for free. My bandmate makes recycled bike messenger bags / backpacks and has done it a few times. She said if I work for her that weekend I get in for free!
