It's a Micro World after all is a blog dedicated to discussing pretty much whatever I feel like. When I delve into scientific matters it will primarily be discussing microbiology (agricultural, bioenergy, and environmental focus). Otherwise, I'll probably ramble on about sports and life.

1. Holy Cannoli! Imagine buying a house and then finding out it's entirely uninhabitable. Not only that, but then you find out there are no legal repercussions for those who sold you the house. It happened to this couple when the house they purchased turned out to be a meth-house. There is a list kept by the DEA that you can search, by state, to see if a house may have been used to create meth.
2. Yesterday ended Native American Heritage Month. If you're up for a little culture, this YouTube video, released by the Smithsonian is good. It's a bit lengthy (47 minutes), but worth it.
3. "You've got to look like a hobbit." Exactly what does a hobbit look like? Well, they're obviously white donchaknow?
4. Consider me underwhelmed. Come on Julian Assange, give us something good! I mean, before the Russians off you.
The release, Assange said, will reveal "unethical behavior." He said he would stop short of calling the depicted actions criminal.
A bank behaving unethically? Stop the presses! *yawn* Though of note on the second link, I don't think the United States will complain too loudly if Russia takes an extremely heavy handed approach to shutting up Assange and/or his website.
5. So a couple of weeks ago there was this video about a supposed rocket launch off the coast of California. Turns out it was easily explained by math and looking at flight plans over the area, indicating that it was an airplane and it's contrail. And planes produce a whole heck of a lot of them each day. That didn't stop the crazies though (read through the comments at Uncinus' blog). Supposedly they believe in "chemtrails" and we're all being slowly poisoned by our governments ... to keep the population down of course. These folks have the perfect solution though ... a specially devised prayer that will force the chemtrails to "transmute and evaporate". It's a metaphysical nuclear weapon folks ... pray it! Oh, and it gets kookier ... much kookier than that.

Sweet, looking forward to those posts. I feel like I should be doing the same thing, but I keep finding myself hitting the "print" button. . . .Read More
I'd be hopeful to see a bigger, general push towards organic farming. But, the realities of scale and market urinate incessantly upon that hope. For a large supplier that ships out millions of eggs. . .Read More
I understand your point about critical thinking and I also believe that it is not stressed enough in higher education. However, I have had students (first year graduate) who lacked the building . . .Read More
Great post lots to think over. I agree critical thinking is not encouraged. I have had straight A college students in my lab/class that when asked to apply the knowledge they learned in lecture to . . .Read More
I didn't have the numbers, so I looked some up. I was thinking in terms of *number of institutions* not *number of students*. I think the principle would hold for number of students, but quite poss. . .Read More
