Those fights are about power and politics, not science and medicine.
The question is whether the traditional educational profile of the journalist, J-schooled or not, can compete with the ingenuity of the technology companies, the knowledge of emerging expert media (such as Science-Based Medicine) or even the power of government as delineated in a fascinating report by Deloitte, to produce and disseminate not only information but also the tools to interpret that information.
The loss of two power channels, however, could threaten science experiments and backup equipment.
Yin, who holds a PhD in atmospheric science, got laid off from a wind-power company in Boulder, Colorado in September 2009.
The strange science of quantum mechanics promises a revolution in computer power as radical as that following the invention of the transistor in the 1950s.
In 1934, at the height of his financial power, Loomis quit Wall Street to pursue science full time.
Combining IBM Research's expertise in the areas of mathematical sciences, computer science and high-performance computing with the deep-power engineering and operational know-how of the participating members, the Institute will focus on five core innovation tracks to pursue joint research and where shared investments, knowledge and capabilities will benefit every member.

For example, a high school student who won a science fair made big money on Quirky for proposing a flexible power strip.
The study, which was just published in Psychological Science, had volunteers read a scenario where an individual with power made a mistake.
FORBES: Are Women in Traditionally-Male Professions More Scrutinized?
Power and Consumer Reports ratings are not an exact science--much of their data is based on questionnaires and surveys, an inherently subjective game.
And even if the revitalization does not occur, the industry says that those students studying nuclear science will still have skills to work in other types of power plants.
It would also be free to innovate and expand into truly promising alternative energy sources, such as nuclear power, which has been hampered by superstition rather than science and by the resulting regulations that have unnecessarily driven up its costs.
FORBES: "Too High" Prices Are a Symptom, Not the Cause, Of Our Problems
In a 2011 article for the scholarly journal Science, researchers Martin Hilbert and Priscila Lopez estimated that the entire processing power of the world's stock of general-purpose computers in 2007 more or less equaled that of one human brain (about 6.4 quintillion instructions per second -- the standard measure of computer speed).
University of Michigan computer science and engineering professor Kang Shin and doctoral student Xinyu Zhang will present their new power management approach Sept. 21 at the ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking in Las Vegas.

In an effort to expand that world, the creators of "Defiance" are banking on the combined power of an online third-person shooter video game and a weekly science fiction television series to keep fans hooked and actively involved in the franchise.
Even more fundamentally, the digital economy's infrastructure has advanced basic material science and classes of machine tools that have led directly to the new high-power electronics (enabling hybrids) and to big, cheap flat-panel, thin-film PVs (derived from the massive thin-film machines that make flat-panel-TVs).
This advance in computational power has enabled scientists and engineers to tackle problems once considered in the realm of science fiction.
