Science with Dan: Popping pimples can prove deadly

Nov. 10, 2013

For a better part of the last decade I have been sheepishly on the defensive at most times in the off chance that some raging maniac who lurks in dark alleys at night will finally succeed in his goal of murdering me. I do not know anyone, nor has anyone personally relayed such a story to me; however it seems like a truly rational thing to fear in my mind. There are, however, several legitimate threats that I simply disregard as outlandish and downright absurd. As a teen, growing up in the cold, hard suburbs of Pittsburgh, there was one risky behavior in particular that I feel was a serious threat to my life: pimple popping.

That's a Wrap: Money too important in film production

Nov. 10, 2013

When people first began making movies, it was an art, a newfound way to interpret emotion through pictures and motion. The industry was predominantly women who told stories and directed, but at the time there was not much output because not many people would pay to see such films.

Nov. 6, 2013

Let’s face it; there’s no better place to be in the autumn than Ohio University. Seeing the leaves change and walking to class in the crisp autumn air, I’ve been getting into the sweater-weather spirit a lot lately.

Nov. 3, 2013

As of late, I have been hearing more and more about something that sounds fascinating, yet I had no idea what it actually was. Replicating everyday objects, perhaps on a large scale, seems like something that could keep me occupied for hours on end. I am referring to 3D printing.

Green Beat: After going organic, effect will be gigantic

Nov. 2, 2013

Feeding the world in a sustainable way is a challenge. Organic agriculture is often put forth as a solution to environmental ills. According to the Pesticide Action Network, “In 1940, we produced 2.3 food calories for every one fossil fuel calorie used… we now get one food calorie for every 10 fossil fuel calories used.” Using fewer petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides, as organic agriculture would require, would clearly be a step in the right direction.

Beauty and the Bobcat: Celebration of newly discovered foundation turns to frustration

Oct. 30, 2013

Recently I had been hearing a lot about the Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick, and I wanted to give it a try. This foundation is a revolutionary product, which Maybelline coins as “the first gel stick foundation” on their Website. It is only about $7 and also boasts an anti-shine core which promises to “instantly dissolve excess oil.”

Keep You Wondering: Possible sixth sense may steer people from danger

Oct. 29, 2013

Everyone is familiar with the five senses that humans have: taste, touch, scent, smell and hearing, but some researchers think that there might be another sense that people use in order to stay alive. This would be a sense that you wouldn’t exactly notice, like you notice the other five. This sixth sense would be used to spot danger that us, as humans, would want to avoid.

Oct. 28, 2013

Being an Animal House resident is a tough job. The house is always full of people just looking for a good time. However, the house is usually left trashed and occasional theft occurs causing us to actually start acting like animals because we are angry.
