 Mapping the complexities of science and politics : Nature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Science recently made a similar clarification — that it has no policy on the Taiwan question — in a published apology by editor-in-chief Donald Kennedy (Science 309, 1677; 2005), following that journal's publication in July of a map of China that included Mongolia but not Hainan and Taiwan.
It is a sad reality that people in some quarters in China might still believe that this omission by two leading science journals represent elements of a concerted move with hidden political motivation, no matter what actions were taken by each journal to claim otherwise.
It is a sad day for science and scientists everywhere when these journals are compelled to explain themselves by making declarations of this kind.

 ScienceWeek
In science, "maturity" in a field is usually doomed to be ephemeral, and every scientist knows examples of this in his own domain.
An instance was the so-called "maturity" of solid-state physics in the 1970s, when independent electron approximations worked well for most semiconductors and metals, the phase transition problem seemed solved, and the fundamentals of magnetism, ferroelectricity, and superconductivity appeared to be known.
Yandulov and Schrock (Science 2003 301:76) did just that, and their results may finally allow us to draw realistic and empirically based chemistry parallels with dinitrogenase reductions.

Toll-like receptors, meanwhile, are finding wide application, with the hunt for a treatment of life-threatening sepsis among the most urgent.

 Talking with North Korea -- Neureiter 305 (5691): 1677 -- Science
I went through the Cold War as an inveterate engager, as the first U.S. scientific attaché in Eastern Europe in the late 1960s, where I interacted with scientists that were more on our side than that of their own governments.
Later I helped create the first U.S.-USSR Joint Committee on Science and Technology Cooperation, one element of the Nixon-Brezhnev detente agreed on at their 1972 summit meeting; and I was also involved in the first, mutually cautious science exchanges with the Chinese, ending 22-plus years of no contacts at all.

 Amazon.com: Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain: Books: Antonio Damasio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
I suspect that Dammassio is relying on a weakness of Spinoza to which he makes a passing reference, namely, that by simply saying that thought and extension are two attributes of the one substance, the difficulty of explaining how thought arises from the activity of material beings is simply by-passed.
There is a lot still to discover, but neural science is vindicating Spinoza's hypothesis: that our mental life is shaped by nature to serve the optimum survival of the physical body.
but then science is philosophy, and the style is conciously chosen for that reason.
