Blind mice see again with prosthetic retina
By figuring out the code that retinas use to communicate with the brain, scientists have developed a prosthetic retina that restored vision to blind mice.

Should the People Pull Their Money from the Banks While They Can?

I could easily write several dozen blog posts on this brilliant book. Consider this the first of possibly many more posts to follow.

Crisis Mapping for Disaster Preparedness, Mitigation and Resilience

In 2004, my colleague Suha Ulgen spearheaded an innovative project in Istanbul that combined public participation and mobile geospatial technologies for the purposes of disaster mitigation. Suha subsequently published an excellent overview of the project entitled ”Public Participation Geographic Information Sharing Systems for Co-mmunity Based Urban Disaster Mitigation,” available in this edited book on Geo-Information for Disaster Management. I have referred to this project in count-less conversations since 2007 so it is high time I blog about it as well. Read full post.
