Tired of only hearing about arts and politics in campus news? Then welcome to BunsenBwog (occasionally Bunsen Bwog), our go-to conglomerate source for the scientific happenings of the world. Think of it like Bwoglines, but for science. In this edition, first-year Bwogger Nora McNamara-Bordewick takes you through Columbia’s health research in the news over the […]

FroSci got you down? Bwog does science, too! It’s time for another BunsenBwog, where you can read up on science-related news.

Remember back when you were still a little kid, frolicking around the big bad world without […]

With the end of Syllabus Week comes the tide of papers, problem sets, projects, and required readings. Doesn’t it all make you want to say “Screw it” to the world and set out on a murderous rampage to let off some steam/reduce your insatiable appetite for human flesh? Okay, maybe not.

An international collaboration of physicists have used powerful supercomputers to calculate the decay process of a kaon […]
