As a 15-year night shifter, I can vouch that not everyone’s internal clock is as finicky as many articles imply it is. Lots of people simply have trouble sleeping, period - I watch their updates on Facebook all night. The jury is still out on how to fix it, that’s why so many suggestions on what to do about it - what…

Ah, the survivorship bias. Another problem with the educational system. You’re only allowed to have a say in the education of the masses if you managed to complete a college degree.

The fact that we are sentient enough to try to make sense of it is both a curse and a blessing to our intellect. We are acting just like how you would expect an animal who…

I had the same impression in the book!

Earth is still the only life-bearing world we know, and so folks in the business of hunting for aliens usually start with some big assumptions.

Greg Bear’s Blood Music would make an AWESOME horror/scifi movie.
