Science is one of my favorite subjects, as it seems new discoveries are being made every day. What an exciting field to be in.
- Another Alabama Football Program Would Be A Waste
The last thing that Alabama needs is to be saddled with is the expense of another vanity football program at a public university. The USA faculty senate last month voted heavily in favor of football at the Mobile university. Apparently they and other...
- Alzheimer's Gene
Scientists have made a breakthrough discovery that could someday help doctors beat back Alzheimer's disease in the elderly. Researchers from Columbia University and other institutions have identified a gene that appears to play an important role in...
- Life In Prison Doesn't Mean Life
Since my husband's employer is located in the shipyard, you can imagine the shipyard shooting struck fear in my heart. So it is with great dismay that I realize the shooter who killed Eddins and seriously wounded Gaffney will one day be free to enjoy...

Life Underground
After three years of trips into the mines, after analyzing 200 samples of scalding water that had lain undisturbed for eons, they have succeeded. Among the finds, reported this fall in the journal Science: a skinny, tube-shaped bacteria that feeds off low levels of radiation in the surrounding rock. The species apparently has been humming along in the darkness for millions of years, challenging some of our basic notions of life and suggesting how life might exist on other planets. The as-yet-unnamed organism does not depend - even indirectly - on energy from the sun, according to the team of authors, from Princeton University and a half-dozen other institutions. The bacteria research is a signature study in the field of astrobiology, an interdisciplinary field that examines how life evolved on Earth, and how it might do so on other planets.
