Feynman, Religion, and Skepticism
Scientists are trained to employ logic to examine and test claims. While science and religion have, at times been in opposition, some attempt to marry these concepts.

Induction vs. Deduction in Science
The "Scientific Method" is often summed up as a choice between two diametrically opposed, yet often coexisting modes of thought: Induction and Deduction

Skepticism Applied to Religion
Many would argue that science and faith are incongruent, even at odds. Logic and rational examination of religion could possibly bridge gaps and foster understanding.

Frederick Reines - Co-Discoverer of the Neutrino
Frederick Reines casts a long shadow on elementary particle physics, as an early participant in the Manhattan Project, as co-discoverer of the neutrino, as founding Dean of the School of Physical Sciences at the University of California at Irvine, and as co-winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in physics.

Properties of Fermions and Bosons
Fermion and Boson classifications are not entirely set in stone. While individual particles are either one or the other, systems of particles can cause the laws to fail.

Defining Quantum Mechanics
Quantum physics is recognized by many as one of the most difficult concepts in science. While this is surely true, it is not entirely beyond the grasp of the layman.

The Insanity of the Defense
A person is held not responsible for his criminal actions if s/he cannot tell right from wrong ("lacks substantial capacity either to appreciate the criminality (wrongfulness) of his conduct" - diminished capacity), did not intend to act the way he did (absent "mens rea") and/or could not control his behavior ("irresistible impulse"). These handicaps are often associated with "mental disease or defect" or "mental retardation".
