On, Abbie Smith reports on the phenomenal success of the vaccine in Australia. The vaccine, designed to protect against several types of sexually-transmitted papillomavirus, was first administered to Aussie girls in 20013. Since then, total prevalence of the virus among young women has dropped from among girls who actually got the vaccine. These girls are also protecting their partners and reducing overall circulation of . Infections among young men, who were not even vaccinated, dropped from percent. Abbie calls this a "blatant, obvious example of herd immunity in action!" On Aardvarchaeology, Martin Rundkvist recently stood up for science against the false equivalence of "tell both sides" journalism in Sweden, where the vaccine is offered to all twelve year old girls. Martin acknowledges the vaccine is effective, and there are very rare cases of adverse side-effects, but the same is true of entire globe will soon be wrapped in a glowing envelope through which none of the magic of the Universe can be seen by the naked eye.” -George Eslinger Welcome to still another Messier Monday here on Starts With A Bang! Each Monday, we highlight a different one of the deep-sky objects that make up the Messier"That’s why I’m a skeptic about Earth Day and Earth Hour and anything that has you be green for a weekend or a day or an hour. I see Earth Day as the new Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, a Hallmark holiday for us to give lip service to the environment."Textbooks seldom tell a story. 
They have no plot, no characters. And they should! Good mathematical writing is marked by a progression from the initial statement of a problem, through the rising action of our initial, fumbling attempts to solve it, reaching its climax with the solution itself, and then proceeding to its denouement in the form of a proper, rigorous proof"This now-famous drawing was the very first sketch of a deep-sky object that revealed its spiral structure, and it took a telescope in diameter to do it!".University of Lund publishes the Functioning in Created Agricultural Wetlands, dealing with biological diversity and ecosystem services in ponds in the agricultural landscape (and commented on here). 2013: Same department advertises a post-doc in the field “Biological Diversity and Ecosystem Services in Ponds in the Agricultural Landscape”. Because in Eric Rodriguez and his colleagues at the Latino Union of Chicago quite literally meet workers where they’re at on the city’s street corners. Many of the day laborers who gather there are hired to work construction at residential housing sites. Work arrangements are hardly formal and day laborers are frequently subjected to unnecessary and illegal dangers on the job. Unfortunately, worker safety is often kicked to the curb in the street corner marketplace.TheI has released an electronic wanted poster for you to look at. Somebody knows these people. Do you?
