Featured Short: Gregory Benford and Michael Rose's "Sex and the Internet"
Award-winning professors and authors Gregory Benford and Michael Rose offer an entire series of Shorts on science and contemporary culture. They avoid the "hysterical distractions of media... (and) debunk the irrational, sanctimonious and posturing." Their essays focus on three main themes: the 21st century biomedical revolution, the use of space and our planet to ensure our future, and the general relationship between science and modern culture. Check out one of the latest installments, "Sex and the Internet," or browse more in the series from the science category.
