Quickies: Hasidic atheists, vaccination rates in Silicon Valley, and lollipop science
- The double life of Hasidic atheists – “There are far fewer women in this situation than men, and the women were even harder to draw out. They risk losing their children, especially in New York State, where custody is often given to the more religious parent.” From Will.
- The sickeningly low vaccination rates at Silicon Valley day cares – Except for kids of people who work in biotech. From Kavin.
- Finally dealing with campus rape means some men will have it tougher – “The rape truthers’ belief that any increasing efforts to stop rape and hold more accusers accountable will hurt innocent men is, at best, magical thinking.”
- Science finally determines how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop – “But the work addresses some serious science, too. Understanding how materials dissolve is at the heart of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries — their products rely on the incorporation of solid compounds into solutions within reactors and within the human body.”
