Science Corner: One Person’s Trash Could Be Another Person’s Earthship

June 29, 2022 by Julie Reynolds Leave a Comment

You've probably noticed that the world is a bit of a mess. Every day it seems that there is some new problem that requires our attention and/or provides some new topic for people to argue about discuss and debate. Some of the issues that spawn arguments discussions are trivial matters like whether pineapple belongs on pizza (yes, it absolutely does). Other topics, like global climate change, the impact people are having on the planet, and our responsibility as Christians to care for the Earth, are much more serious. The … [Read more...] about Science Corner: One Person’s Trash Could Be Another Person’s Earthship

Science Corner: Preeclampsia Awareness and Practicing Faith Over Fear

May 25, 2022 by Julie Reynolds 2 Comments

During the last two years, "Faith over Fear" has become a guiding philosophy, and for some people a battle cry, for dealing with the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and everything else going on in the world. All in all, faith over fear is a good mantra. Multiple verses in the Bible give this advice, and there are women and men throughout the Old and New Testaments who amazing examples of people who practiced faith over fear. Abraham following God's command to pack up his family and leave everything he knew for the promise … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Preeclampsia Awareness and Practicing Faith Over Fear

Science Corner: Let There Be Light (But Not Too Much)

April 27, 2022 by Julie Reynolds Leave a Comment

According to Genesis 1, on the first day of creation God called the light into being, he separated light from darkness, he called the light "day" and the darkness "night", and he called it good. Most of us would agree that light is, indeed, good. Both literally and metaphorically light drives out the darkness and allows us to see so that we can find our way. And it is not only humans that value light--all of the natural world benefits from it. … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Let There Be Light (But Not Too Much)

Science Corner: Christian Women in Science

March 23, 2022 by Julie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Every year since 1987, March has been considered Women's History Month. What started as International Women's Day in 1911 became National Women's History Week in 1980 and then a month designated to learning about and celebrating what women have contributed to history. Since we are approaching the end of Women's History Month, I thought was appropriate to write a few women in science who were, or are, Christians. Officially they are a small group -- according to an article published in Christianity Today, only ~7% of … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Christian Women in Science

Science Corner: Bug-Eat-Bug World

February 23, 2022 by Julie Reynolds 1 Comment

It has been said that it's a bug-eat-bug world. Although in the circle of life, it's probably more accurate to say that it's a bird-eat-bug world. No matter how you phrase it, nature is full of heterotrophic organisms that need to consume other organisms in order to survive. Being eaten can have a significant negative impact on your fitness (your reproductive success, not your ability to climb Mt Everest or run a marathon). At the end of the day, the organisms/species that have the largest number of healthy offspring … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Bug-Eat-Bug World
