• Inspirational

  Kavli is truly inspirational. It's great to see someone spending their fortune on making the world a better place. I just hope that the people who win the awards, who supposedly are just getting started in their science careers, continue to work hard to achieve even more for the planet using their award and the recognition they receive with it.

• My Doubt About Darwin's Evolution

  Three years ago when I was a freshman, a US friend of mine chatted with me about Jesus and bible. He said he was not a supporter of Darwin's theory, and he believed God exists somewhere. That time I just graduated from high school and had received typical Chinese education for years which advocates atheism and sniffs at religions, so I thought he was crazy. Darwin's evolution was so straightforward and must be absolutely right. Everyone with the normal mentality should accept the theory. After three years and as a senior, I myself begin to question evolution. I have great interest in molecular biology. Having learned some knowledge on this subject, I am lost in perplexity. For example, transcription and translation of genes are so complicated; in the processes many enzymes are needed; hundreds of biochemistry reactions happen; each reaction is coupled to another reaction incredibly neatly. If someone say this is the result of Darwin's evolution, then I will ask: how long it takes to evolve to such extent. Maybe ten billion years, I guess. Oh, it's still too short, I am afraid. Of course someone may say: so what? Probably the guy does not have the common sense that our solar system formed only five billion years ago. So I think at least evolution must be modified if not abandoned. Besides, Darwin's evolution has no use at all when facing the ultimate problem of the origin of life--how nonlife substances are transformed to original simple life forms. If one person insists that Darwin's evolution is a solution to every life phenomenon, I gotta say he is too arbitrary and simple-minded. Now I have no idea about whether there exists a great mystery force. Although we can't prove God exists, we can't prove God does not exist either.

• Fit!

  The fact that "smart" flies had shorter lives than "dumb" ones isn't necessarily an indication that smartness is an evolutionary disadvantage. Maybe "smart" flies reproduce more. Maybe "smart" flies, while leading shorter lives *on average*, have more total individuals who live long enough to reproduce. Getting your genes into subsequent generations is a better yardstick of evolutionary fitness than living a long life.

• Wow

  Remind me to send my child, if I ever have one, to that kid's school. I honestly don't think I know two people that know that. This kid seems like a pretty exceptional 11 year old.

• Refreshing

  I think that Jeremijenko's work is so refreshing. She is an artist/scientist who chooses to directly involve her viewers without dumbing things down. It is so sad when people dumb things down because they assume that the general population is somehow unable to comprehend them. Thank goodness for cultural hybrids like Jeremijenko!
