Over the course of his three-decade journalism career Meyer…. Advancing Educational Excellence. Search Search. Decision science and information overload. It sounded like a panacea for climate change: "geo-engineering" the atmosphere to block some sunlight and counter global warming.
Now scientists scrutinizing the approach say it could produce dangerous cascade effects, severely disrupting weather and agriculture—and might fail to block the worst of the greenhouse effects anyway. The Downside of Antioxidants. If you follow the news about health research, you risk whiplash.
First garlic lowers bad cholesterol, then—after more study—it doesn't. Hormone replacement reduces the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women, until a huge study finds that it doesn't and that it raises the risk of breast cancer to boot. Eating a big breakfast cuts your total daily calories, or not—as a study released last week finds. Yet even if biomedical research can be a fickle guide, we rely on it. Get Smarter. Many of the concepts that could make us smarter are well established and not particularly abstruse, but not widely known even among the educated.
There are countless unanswered questions about why Jared Loughner allegedly went on a shooting rampage, but of this we can be sure: across America there are thousands of parents of older adolescents and young adults who are terrified that their child's strange behavior, paranoid rants, drinking, drug abuse, conspiracy fantasies, and other red flags of mental illness will lead to violence.
