This is one of the most interesting lectures I've ever watched. Daniel Dennet, author of Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon, lays out the argument for analyzing religion through the same lens as we would a ecosystem, organism, or cultural phenomenon, while integrating exceptional insights regarding language and biology.
Wild & Domesticated Religions
Viruses Split Water Water
The more I read about possible solutions for meeting our future energy needs in a sustainable manner the more often I hear about bacteria and viruses. It seems that they are ideally suited for breaking compounds and molecules down in energy efficient manners. Here's an article on the prospects for efficiently producing hydrogen fuel at a quarter of the energy input of current methods.

How Algal Biofuels Lost a Decade in the Race to Replace Oil
How Algal Biofuels Lost a Decade in the Race to Replace Oil
Here's a good article from Wired. I've long been opposed to biofuels with the exception of algae (see earlier post for proof).

The great thing about algae is that you can grow just about anywhere and the lipids (i.e. fatty oil) are so much denser than virtually any other organic organism.
