science notes

human psychiatric diseases such as depression and schizophrenia are accompanied by synaptic functional disorders. can viruses play a role in neurobehavioural disease? perhaps: research results showing viral interference with neuronal functioning. imagine if they were to find viral involvement in things like autism or sexual identity...

mathematicians and physicists will bring us invisibility soon enough. unfortunately you may not be able to see the results. at first glance this almost amazed me but i figured "invisibility" should not be an awe inducing concept. it's just physics. it involves things like meta-materials, plasmonic coating, and anomalous localized resonance.
