Week 3: Omega-3 Study - Sushi how I miss thee

May 28th, 2008 by Kishore

Sushi

It’s week three of my omega-3 study (first 4 weeks is cleansing, 8 weeks on fish oil, flax oil, or a placebo). For the duration, no fish, no flax, no walnuts, and limited soy.

My fiance and I having been working through our food, eating all the stuff that has piled up over the year. Yesterday, I opened up the freezer…pretty much all we have left is some frozen green beans, fish sticks, and some tilapia. Fun for me. On the plus side, we have plenty of walnuts…oh wait.

Later on, I walked by Sushi Rock…not the greatest sushi in the world, but boy did it look good today. Saw someome slowly popping a Tuna Roll w/tobiko…I’m a sucker for tobiko. Pained me.

It had me wonder…I’m struggling to avoid omega-3s 3 weeks in…how the heck do they get 150 people to do this without failure? I’m asking on my next visit. I have to imagine they account for “cheating” somehow in the statistical analysis. The holes in the study being to emerge….

Until next week…I’m off to stare at those year old fishsticks.

I have finally succumbed to the overwhelming momentum of social networking (only a couple years behind the curve). If you’re on Facebook, take a few seconds to join the Down to a Science Facebook Group. Share the group with your friends and family!

I’ll also be posting weekly facebook-only science content…making it ever easier for you to share science stories with your friends.

The Trilogy Ends….Part 3 of the Bay Area Science Forum

April 26th, 2008 by Kishore

BASF

On May 8th, the three month discussion on Water in California concludes with a look to the future. With expected water pinches coming from population growth and climate change, the discussion is fairly pertinent. BASF is focused on creating an informed public as key ballot issues on water are pending.

The discussion will focus on the following strategies:

* Increasing surface storage through dam building.
* Desalination of sea water.
* Attempting to match water quality with usage, so that the cost to produce high quality drinking water is only incurred when it is needed.
* Prevention of water pollution, including urban runoff management, to decrease the amount of treatment needed.

The dam issue is key, as the governator is pushing for an 11.6 Billion dollar bond measure to build new dams (exactly where is unknown) and create a canal around the San Joaquin Delta (where there is all that hubbub about a little fish). The push is under great attack by environmentalists for the lack of conservation measures in the bill. And frankly the talk of desalinization as a solution is almost laughable…as discussed in part 1 of this series, the process is so energy intensive, the water produced will be incredibly expensive.

Also, how the heck are we going to pay for 11.6 billion dollar in water upgrades considering the expected $14 billion budget deficit? There are plenty of questions on this topic, I would definitely make this night.
