Bill Nye the Science Guy: Don’t Worry, Your Phone Isn’t Making You Dumb [Brains]
Talking with Bill Nye the Science Guy is like meeting your favorite HS science teacher in a bar—the conversation might flail wildly, but you learn something at every twist. This week, I picked his brain about, well, brains. More

feature: A photo tour of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
Last week, Brookhaven National Lab hosted a press tour of their Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , one of only two active particle colliders in the US. The tour also included a briefing on the work that Brookhaven scientists are doing at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. We'll cover the information in more detail in the near future, but we wanted to share some of the great photos we were able to take during the tour. Brookhaven's Peter Steinberg, whose session at last year's AAAS meeting received some coverage here , joined us for the bus ride out.

The Weird Science of toilet plants and rhythmless reindeer
Well, that's one way to get a balanced diet: We all know that carnivorous plants have evolved in regions where the soil isn't very nutrient-rich, and they use their prey to supplement what they don't get via roots. Apparently, however, there are alternatives to eating the victim. I'll let the authors of a recent paper explain matters : "Three Bornean pitcher plant species... produce modified pitchers that 'capture' tree shrew faeces for nutritional benefit

The Void Between Protons and Electrons Makes Us All Phantoms [Science]
Are you real? You may seem real and solid, but you are mostly made of empty space. To demonstrate it, someone enlarged an electron to the size of one pixel , proportionally showing its distance from a equally scaled proton.

Science journo quits writing to fight chiropractic libel suit
The UK's libel laws, which place the burden of proof onto those who have published inflammatory statements, have had a chilling effect on journalism in that nation, and have led to a closet industry in "libel tourism." As such, there have been repeated efforts to reform the laws, often led by professional organizations of writers and journalists. A 2008 case, however, brought a new community into the fight: science communicators, drawn in when the British Chiropractic Association sued a journalist for calling some of its medical claims "bogus." Although the legal fight has continued, the journalist in question, Simon Singh, has now been forced to quit his job at The Guardian in order to defend himself. Many of our readers who follow science news carefully are probably already aware of Singh's plight, but we've not covered it at Ars previously, so a recap seems in order. Singh, who was working on a book on alternative medicine, took a look at some of the claims promoted by BCA members, which suggest that chiropractic treatments are effective for diseases for which there is no apparent spinal involvement, like asthma
