Science Fiction When I was growing up, there as not a time when I did not have a book in my hands and reading. One of my favs was science fiction, another was the Civil War, and then the classics. I stumbled upon a short story about futuristic fighter pilots. The issue to the story being it was an even battle between to waring nations. No one could gain the upper hand as computers determined the tactics only to be countered by other computers. One...

Will a high dose of Ivermectin for 6 Days impact Covid? As a biochemist, I find the argument of a lack of mechanism for Ivermectin as a justification for prescribing it for COVID particularly pernicious. While it is correct to say that we didn’t know the mechanism for aspirin for decades after we knew it worked (one could say the same about the smoking and lung cancer), that’s not a logical basis for prescribing a drug. The gold standard is a...

If you did not know, now you do know. Just like our fellow blogs, Angry Bear posts have been recorded in the Library of Congress. I could not get in tonight to see which posts ere and like I have other times. Something to think about for at least one cup of coffee. Much of this occurred over Dan’s watch.
