Why Thinking is important

This week I went to the dentist for a routine check-up. By inspecting his waiting room I should have guessed that my dentist was a Jeovah witness. The book questioning the existence of pardise should have warned me.

After a while the dentist came in and I sat in the scary chair with pipes and syringes all over. I looked at my wisdom teeth that I should remove because there is no place left for them in my mouth. I mean really no place, one is pushing against my jaw and it make a terrible infection. The dentist began to explain me that I should open my mind, that I should make some work upon myself and give a place to those teeth, that they were here for a REASON. It was not a matter of surgery, just a matter of faith and self opening to the world. Seeing that I was more and more sceptical, he mistakingly took the example of homepathy to explain me that OTHER WAYS exist. "Yeah, I replied, I know that. It's the placebo effect. But it work only if you believe it". At that point he finally understsood that I would not be convinced by his weak arguments, and he said that I should pay him. Which I did.

Wow, I am happy that dentist is not a oncologist !

I am not against faith for itself, eventhough I'm not a believer. At all. But at some point, believing should not prevent people to think!

Shear waves, medecine and brain

Yesterday evening, too bored by what TV was proposing to me, I decided to watch a conference of Mathias Fink , a french researcher working on multidisciplinary application of waves. Specially shear waves. Here is a brief summary of his talk. In solids, waves have two principal components: compression waves (P-waves for primary) moving in the direction of propagation, and shear waves (S-waves, for secondary) that make ripples in the plane orthogonal to that direction. Since compression waves propagate in the direction of propagation, they move faster than shear waves. Usually ultrasound equipment in medicine only use compressional waves. But since human tissues have a high bulk modulus, the P-wave speed is relatively constant (around 1580 m/s). Human tissues are very stiff if you apply isotropic constraints on them (like pressure of water). However M. Fink and his colleagues proposed a new way to investigate human tissues by first sending a strong compressional wave in ...

Networks and Life

As you probably may (or may not!) know, molecular biology often study biological functions from interaction network between molecules rather than studying each component one-by-one. It's the opposite of the universal divide-and-conquer strategy, I would call it the all-inclusive strategy. Those interactions networks involves myriads (10.000) of molecules that interacts by various chemical ways, which is generally represented as an oriented graph between each molecular compound. The transcriptional networks describe the relationship between genes and proteins, the protein-protein network s defines the cascades of interactions between some, ingenuously lumped, proteins, the metabolic networks attempt to mimic the flush of metabolic reactions inside living organisms. So the idea is to understand how the main 'thing' works from all those interactions linked together. Of course, other kind of networks are used in many different domain to study more-or-less linked ...
