In 2011, for example, Venter joined forces with the X Prize Foundation and health-care firm Medco Health Solutions, based in Northampton, UK, to offer a US$10-million prize to the first team to sequence accurately the genomes of 100 centenarians. “I'm always more excited by awards that push or drive innovation, rather than ones that just recognize past achievements,” Venter says.Many researchers favour the idea of targeting awards at promising scientists early in their careers. “A small award at this stage is a fantastic idea,” says Cooper. At this point, scientists are in a vulnerable position, struggling to win grants and often supporting young families. “It will just free scientists up to do more research — it's about getting the biggest bang for your buck,” Cooper says."Principles of parametric estimation in modeling language competition" http://pnas.org/content/… via stevenstrogatz"The lunch problem" http://worthwhile.typepad.com/worthwhile_canadian_initi/… via franceswoolley"Have Financial Markets Gone Post-Human?" http://azizonomics.com/… via Noahpinion"Secret to Prism program: Even bigger data seizure" http://bigstory.ap.org/article/… via fivethirtyeight"Why Every Coin Flip May Be a Schrödinger’s Cat" http://nautil.us/blog/… by JenLucPiquant via seanmcarroll"Spy program shows just how well US knows its people" http://newscientist.com/article/…"Is Privacy Dead?" http://thedailybeast.com/articles/… via Catnatt in Newsweek, but in 1970, see"‘Financialization’ as a Cause of Economic Malaise" http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/… by BruceBartlett via ‏eisingerj interesting !"How Do We Want Others to Decide?" http://psp.sagepub.com/c… "Geographical Distance Influences Evaluations of Decision Makers" via jure“Why you feel guilty about not finishing a book” http://lifehacker.com/… via raulpacheco"How relationships between narcissism and social networking site use differ on Facebook and Twitter" http://sciencedirect.com/…"Lego faces getting angrier" http://bartneck.de/publications/… cool (and nerdy) study discovered via http://guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/… see"Betrayed by our own data" http://zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/ … via msgbi"Climate Change by the Numbers" http://project-syndicate.org/commentary/… by ret_ward via moneyscience"Can Canada Attract American Students?" http://insidehighered.com/blogs/globalhighered/… via NGhoussoub"German bank employee naps on keyboard, transfers millions" http://france24.com/en/…"Why Should We Even Care If the Government Is Collecting Our Data?" http://theatlantic.com/technology/archive/… via mathewi"Did New Yorkers really want bike sharing?" http://slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/… "The city should have tried Quadratic Vote Buying to figure that out""Why We Sign Emails With 'Thank You"" http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/…“Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him.

Il faut bien le dire, à peu près aucun journal digne de ce nom n’a été capable de fournir un aperçu simple et synthétique des gender studies (disons au moins de Butler). A minima, il aurait fallu un feu nourri de critique pour expliquer que « la théorie du genre » n’existe pas et qu’il faut arrêter d’utiliser cette expression. Mais non, on a laissé les éditorialistes tremper leur plume et se répandre sur le sujet, pour prendre position sur « la théorie du genre ». La France, ce pays où la chasse au Dahu est un sport national.Second phénomène, l’inefficacité universitaire, c’est à dire le manque d’effet de l’université sur la Cité. L’effort de vulgarisation est globalement très faible, le champs des études du genre est beaucoup trop ésotérique, et le temps passé à défendre sa légitimité a globalement été mal employé."Les maths sur twitter" http://plus.franceculture.fr/factory/… (avec du yrochat dedans)énorme!
