...done in the two states, says Griffin, the CDC realized the cases could be traced to the same subtype of E. coli, which suggested that the illnesses had a common cause - bagged spinach. After more investigation on Thursday to confirm the source, including trying to come up with the actual brand or brands responsible, the CDC decided on Thursday afternoon to issue its warning to consumers on bagged spinach. "We're still very early in this investigation," she told TIME. "New information in coming in constantly...
...It’s really going to tell us something fundamental about the world.” Physicists have tried for years to find the value of the cosmological constant, a number supposedly responsible for keeping particles in our universe stable. But scientists’ calculations always overshoot the actual value. For decades, the issue of how such a finely-tuned constant could exist has puzzled top scholars. “If any constants of nature were a tiny bit different it would totally disturb the universe,” Arkani-Hamed explained. The theory of multiverses posits that there...
...courses which focuses on the hows and whys of physical sciences—explaining natural phenomena, that is. It’s more quantitative than Science B, and physics is the scientific area that rears its head most often during lecture, so pat yourself on the back if you actually remember some stuff from high school. Most Science A courses involve weekly problem sets, so before you commit yourself to a course, make sure you’ll be able to marshall the efforts of your (smart) friends when you’re (drunkenly) scrambling to finish...
...Counting People”-esque pseudo-science—in other words, a total gut that requires you to learn little to nothing–will be disappointed. What you’re getting instead is a warp-speed tour of one area of actual science. And unlike most cores, if you skip too many lectures or don’t do your reading scrupulously, you’re actually a little bit screwed. It’s almost like taking a real class...
...truly love statistics and it is your passion and you want to become a professor in statistics—which probably also means nobody will want to hang out with you on Saturday nights—then concentrate in it. Otherwise take this approach: concentrate in something you are actually interested in and then get a fourth-year masters in statistics. Through one of those great ironies that seem to be ubiquitous in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, it is actually easier to get a masters in Statistics then it is to get an undergraduate degree. This program...
