Painting with light to show WiFi networks

February 28, 20114:51pm

The city is filled with an invis­i­ble land­scape of net­works that is becom­ing an inter­wo­ven part of daily life. WiFi net­works and increas­ingly sophis­ti­cated mobile phones are start­ing to influ­ence how urban envi­ron­ments are expe­ri­enced and under­stood. We want to explore and reveal what the imma­te­r­ial ter­rain of WiFi looks like and how it relates to the city.

Toxoplasma: Be afraid … be very afraid

July 7, 20104:43pm

Robert Sapol­sky explains the life­cy­cle and behav­iour con­trol­ling fea­ture of Tox­o­plasma — a pro­to­zoan which can only repro­duce sex­u­ally in the gut of a cat. It comes out in the cat fae­ces, the fae­ces get eaten by rodents, then to get back in the cat, it enters the brain and cre­ates dopamine — the neu­ro­trans­mit­ter in the brain that’s all about reward and antic­i­pa­tion of reward — to attract the rat to the cat.

The rat could, pre­sum­ably, be human and have a con­trol­ling influ­ence on the brain …

On a cer­tain level, this is a pro­to­zoan par­a­site that knows more about the neu­ro­bi­ol­ogy of anx­i­ety and fear than 25,000 neu­ro­sci­en­tists stand­ing on each other’s shoul­ders, and this is not a rare pattern.
