MAGAZIN Suntem controlati de bacterii, nu de extraterestri. 11 mirosuri pe cale de disparitie. Cinci experimente stiintifice de acum 100 de ani. Cat de similare sunt de fapt doua celule cu acelasi ADN? Bloguri romanesti. Ted Talks.
In week-end am fost plecat departe de forfota Capitalei, asa ca am avut vreme sa citesc nestingherit si netulburat. O parte dintre textele care mi-au retinut atentia le aveti mai jos. Lista integrala (admit ca e prea lunga pentru unii, o gasiti aici). Mi-ar placea sa imi trimiteti la comentarii adresele de net ale unor texte care v-au retinut voua atentia pentru a le promova. Sau bloggeri romani nisati pe stiinte. Pana atunci, nu-mi ramane decat sa va urez o zi usoara si lectura cat mai placuta!
