万圣节宝宝的诅咒:女性避免在“邪恶日”分娩孕妇是否在潜意识里避免在万圣节分娩? 最近一项比较万圣节和情人节出生率的研究表明,孕妇可能对分娩的时间(即她们何时分娩)施加某种潜意识的控制。与万圣节相关的负面含义可能会影响母亲的内分泌水平,从而影响分娩的时间;然而,潜在的机制尚不清楚。

在 #SciAmBlogs 上,卡西·罗登堡(亲爱的德古拉,爱德华·卡伦和比尔·康普顿:你们有药物滥用问题)和埃里克·迈克尔·约翰逊(吸血鬼的自然史)都写了关于吸血鬼与各种实际疾病(如狂犬病)之间关联的博客。

博客之父博拉在他的文章僵尸是夜行动物吗?中写道,昼夜节律生理的紊乱如何解释了僵尸的许多症状。

"Life creates [the Force], makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter," Yoda explains in The Empire Strikes Back, gesturing to Luke's physical body. This quote is striking because of the apt juxtaposition of the wonder of life with its often disgusting vessel. Like many other animals, we secrete, excrete, expectorate, defecate, flatulate, regurgitate, urinate, circulate, masticate, menstruate, ejaculate, and ventilate. We are filled with gas and feces and blood and guts and mucus and any number of rude things. Life as we know it is possible because of the countless impolite things we do every day. Are we luminous beings? Perhaps, but that's neither here nor there. This blog is about the crude matter that keeps us alive.
