La Junta gets nearly $30 million in federal funding to filter ‘forever chemicals’ from wastewater

Prominent Allen Institute neuroscientist Christof Koch hit the news again recently, suggesting that the brain does not create consciousness. That is very much at odds with the current neuroscience perspective, set out in a journal article by J. L. Saver and J. Rabin in 1997: “All human experience is brain-based, including scientific reasoning, mathematical deduction, moral judgment, and artistic creation, as well as religious states of mind…. There are no exceptions to this rule.”

With only one regulation win in their first eight games, it’s been a difficult journey for the Montreal Canadiens so far this season.

PHILADELPHIA -- Investigators searching a property in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood have determined that bones found last week were animal bones, according to sources. Sources also said that adipocere, a wax-like substance that can form during decomposition, was discovered during the ongoing excavation of the property. "Adipocere is a tissue which can be used to identify a person," said Fabio Oldoni, an associate professor, program director and forensic geneticist at Arcadia University. Oldoni noted that if DNA is significantly degraded, recovering usable genetic evidence can become difficult. Experts noted that adipocere is not unique to human decomposition and can also be found in animals, meaning additional testing will be necessary.
