Monday Science Links

This week's hot steaming bowl of sciency goodness:

• Chris at Developing Intelligence talks about a stroke patient whose loss of 'binding' (the ability to associate traits of objects together) may help us understand how we perceive reality
  
• Tim at Deltoid has a good set of posts on the attacks on Rachel Carson, whose centenary this is.


• Stefan at backreaction writes about bouncing neutrons in gravitational fields - this week's techinical piece is really very accessible.


• xkcd gives us the electromagnetic spectrum - hey, just because it's science doesn't mean it can't be funny!


• John at archy examines the new theory on mammoth extinction with a review of the past and a look at the end of the Clovis people, too.
