So You Want To Be A Superhero

December 17, 2020 by Bitter Staff 2 Comments

And soon, you’ll be able to fulfill that superhero dream. Because, science. That’s right, scientists are currently attempting to make all our dreams come true with this stretchable conducting cable. The fiber itself is made from sheets of carbon nanotubes wrapping around a rubber core. Oh, that sounds boring? Well, do flexibile exoskeletons and morphing aircraft sound…

Interpretive Dance and PhD Theses: Opposites Attract

March 12, 2019 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

Each year the American Association for the Advancement of Science runs the most absurdly awesome competition ever created: Dance Your PhD. Yep, you read that right.

Overheard: The Most Arrogant Proclamations From Science Professors

August 21, 2017 by Scott Long 1 Comment

March 10, 2015 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

With the advent of drones, the desire for flying cars, and all things flight sweeping the globe there is a resurgence of interest in insect flight. Actually, this is a total lie.

Study Says We Love Science, But Does Science Still Love Us?

January 29, 2015 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

Turns out, we really do love science! The latest Pew/AAAS study illustrates that Americans are totally into science. We think science has made our lives easier. Although, apparently not quite as easy as it was in 2009. We also think we should fund the hell out of science. Seriously, over 70% of the country believes…

December 9, 2014 by S. W. Kish Leave a Comment

The holiday season is upon us. A time to visit with family and friends, eat, share stories, decorate, and of course, drink. Let’s be honest. Alcohol consumption is fun.
