Posted: March 29, 2015 at 8:43 pm

UPDATE 4:25 p.m. EDT: A second body reportedly was pulled from the rubble Sunday of three buildings that collapsed following a suspected natural gas explosion and fire in New York City's East Village. WABC, New York, quoted city officials as saying two bodies have now been recovered, possibly the two men reported missing in Thursday's disaster.

Human remains have been discovered in the rubble of a building that caught fire following an apparent gas explosion in New York Citys East Village, the New York Post reported. The remains were discovered Sunday afternoon at the site of the fire that brought down the building at 121 Second Ave. and two adjacent buildings. It was unclear if the remains belonged to a male or female. The remains were moved to the city medical examiners office for identification.

Two men, Nicholas Figueroa and Moises Locon, were reported missing following the explosion and fire that brought down the structures. Figueroa, 23, was on a date at the Sushi Park restaurant that was at the heart of the disaster and Locon, 27, worked at the restaurant and is believed to have been standing nearby, the Post reported.

Authorities had previously suggested it was unlikely they would find anyone in the wreckage of the buildings. When asked about whether anyone in the buildings would have survived the explosion, New York City Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Esposito told the Associated Press: I would doubt that very seriously.

It was reportedlate Saturday utility workers inspecting the site found dangerous gas line connections that created what a Consolidated Edison spokesman called a "hazardous situation. Con Ed spokesman Allan Drury said workers inspecting the building on Aug. 6 found leaks in hoses that were part of the building's gas infrastructure, and the company shut off the building's gas for about 10 days, until it was determined to be safe,Reuters reported.

New York Mayor Bill De Blasio said Friday the explosion -- which injured 22 people, four critically, and left two people missing -- could have been the result of someone having inappropriately accessed one of the building's gas lines.

Hyeonil Kim, the owner of Sushi Park told the New York TimesCon Ed employees told him gas intended for his premises was being siphoned off -- so-called illegal gas tapping -- for use in the newly renovated apartments upstairs in the five-story building.

Solving The Problem Of Scientific Reproducibility With Peer-Reviewed Video

Posted: at 8:43 pm

In a story published last week in the Boston Globe, Carolyn Johnson covered one of the quiet crises facing scientific research today: the fact that .

But talk to a scientist long enough, and youll probably hear a story like this: An intriguing new discovery was reported in a research journal, wrote Carolyn Johnson in an excellent article on this topic in the Boston Globe. Maybe it was a biologist describing a new Achilles heel in cancer cells, a psychologists profound insight into human behavior, or an astronomers finding about the first moments of the universe. The scientist read about the finding and tried to confirm it in her own lab, but the experiment just didnt come out the same.

Although in some instances the cause of this is outright fraud, far more often the causes are more proasic and mundane. Not being able to replicate an experiment may just mean there was something wrong with the instruments in the initial experiment. (This quite famously happened to the OPERA collaboration, when they infamously announced that they had measured neutrinos moving faster than light. After attempts to reproduce the experiment failed, it was later revealed that the measurements had been erroneous due to a bad data connection in their instruments.)

Sometimes, though, the reason why an experiment doesnt work is because important steps were left out of the original paper, making it impossible for other scientists to replicate the experiment. Sometimes this is oversight, and sometimes its just that a particular lab has common practices that dont carryover to the wider community. In these cases, the experimenters didnt find a false result its just hard for other people to demonstrate the same thing.

This particular aspect of day to day aspect of scientific research was deeply frustrating to Dr. Moshe Pritsker when he was engaged in research a towards his PhD a little over a decade ago. He would find himself unable to complete experiments working just off papers, but when he was able to meet with an experimenter or visit their lab, he was able to then replicate the experiment. But this experience made him frustrated about the way science was being done in the 21st century.

Why doesnt it work? he told me. Its text. Its not good for transfer of knowledge about complex experiments. When you see people do it, youll get small details you cant get from text.

Faced with the time consuming process of visiting original labs to see how experiments were performed led Pritsker to thinking that there had to be a better way for scientists to share information than the centuries-old process of publishing papers.
