Pretty hit or miss articles...I really enjoyed the articles on "the theory of everything", the guy who solved the Poincare conjecture, the intelligent design debate, the movement of species following global warming, the debate over the cause of global warming, finding organic tissue in dinosaur bones, and "molecular gastronomy"; but the other articles were, I guess, not my kind of science. I don't care much about medical discoveries or how the brain works, tsk tsk, and that's what the rest of them seemed to be about. I managed to work my way through a few of them, but some had to be abandoned by the wayside...the psychology of economics, the aneurysm surgery, the invention machine, bleah.
