Continuing From Last Week’s Bread-making Post, Here’s A Look At What’s Behind The Smell Of Fresh-baked

Today marks the birthday of Alfred Nier (1911-1994), a pioneer in the field of mass spectrometry. Here’s a brief mass spectrometry introduction! PDF here: http://wp.me/p4aPLT-1bw

Nictitating Membrane: a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining vision 

Tibia (2).

The tibia is a long bone.

It also known as the shinbone. The tibia is the larger, stronger, and most anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee.

The tibia is found on the medial side of the leg, closer to the median plane or centre-line of the body.

It is the second largest bone in the human body next to the femur.

The leg bones are the strongest long bones because they support the rest of the body.

Above are some notes I made to better understand the orientation of the tibia.

This Facial Reconstruction of Henri IV King of France by French artist Philippe Froesch is Mindblowing!

This was all done digitally through a combination of programs like Cinema4d and Zbrush. Traditional methods are still used in his digital reconstructions as you can see in the bottom left picture. The dots poking out from the skull are facial tissue depth markers. They tell the reconstruction artist how thick the tissues should be at certain points on the skull  based on large collections of data. 

The dollhouses of death that changed forensic science.

How ladybugs unfold their wings

* Assuming that the whole planet stays intact, and that the whole core of Saturn will not slide down from the gaseous atmosphere. (I do not wish to see the destruction of the whole planet.) Saturn will only float in theory because it is lighter than water. Of course if you literally get Saturn into a tub of water, there would be a lot of issues. They are addressed in his article. But overall, for something so huge and stellar, it can still be less dense than water!

The Neuroscience of Serial Murder

Why do serial killers commit heinous acts of murder? The answer may be found in the reward center of our brains, or the Nucleus Accumbens. This is where dopamine is created. When you eat sugar, snort cocaine, snack on chocolate, or have sex, that reward center is triggered and dopamine is released. This chemical conveys the feeling of pleasure, reinforcing those prior indulgences you’ve engaged in. If a serial killer has linked sex with torture, killing, or dismemberment, his brain is sending him a signal, making him feel rewarded for his behavior. It’s the same feeling we may get from eating some chocolate ice cream after a long day or a really good orgasm. A serial killer’s brain reinforces his behavior, telling him that whatever he is doing is good and that he should keep doing it. This may explain why serial killers often do not stop until they are caught.

Mimosa pudica is an herb of the pea family and is known for its compound leaves that fold inward and droop when touched or shaken. This defense mechanism protects the leaf from harm and allows for reopening a few minutes later.
