“Mitochondrial Eve”
“Mitochondrial Eve”
Abstract Variations in the sequence of mitochondrial DNA can be used to identify human lineages and mark human migration patterns. In 1987, mtDNA samples from 147 women were compared and used to infer the sequence and origin of the mitochondria of the common ancestor of all humans. The popular press and science writers were quick […]

“The First Stars”
“The First Stars”
Photo: NASA Abstract: The Universe began in a hot and dense state. After ten minutes or so, the elements had formed, and for the next few hundred thousand years the Universe was filled with hot plasma, expanding and cooling. The Universe was opaque; any light emitted would be scattered or absorbed before it could […]

“Insights from Genes and Genomes”
Photo Wikipedia "Updating Darwinian Evolution Part I: Insights from Genes and Genomes" Darwin's Theory of Evolution was a landmark event in science, providing an explanation for the origin of the diverse lifeforms on the Earth. Notably, it was largely a construct of deduction from observations. In the over 150 years of the existence of this […]

Catalysis in Wonderland: An SL presentation of classic transition-metal chemistry.
Catalysis in Wonderland: An SL presentation of classic transition-metal chemistry.
Abstract: Organic chemistry tends to follow certain rules. Starting in the 1950’s, we began to find ways that transition metals (e.g. chromium, iron, nickel, rhodium, gold and many others) could bend the rules of classic organic chemistry and facilitate chemical transformations which would otherwise be onerous. One example of the utility of transition metals […]
