Your brain's dominant side correlates with which ear you use while speaking on the phone. Researchers believe this finding will help doctors isolate the language centers in the brain before surgery.

This is just a supposition. They are basing it on the fact of handedness, and ASSUMING it indicates brain side dominance. They are doing this because they are HOPING for a new way to test for brain dominance.

Theoretical physics is about tweaking the knobs and dials and assumptions of the laws that govern the universe and then interpolating those laws back to examine how they affect our daily lives, or how they affect the universe that we observe, or even if they are consistent with each other.

Sakis Koukouvis's insight:
The study, published online inEvolutionary Applications, not only shows how bird songs can vary, but demonstrates how combining satellite data with field studies can trace the evolution and variation of any species. It is also the first study to ever use satellite data to track variation of earth-bound species of animals or plants.

At our May 13, 2013 Science at the Theater event, seven Berkeley Lab scientists presented seven BIG ideas in eight minutes each (give or take a few minutes). Watch this fast-paced video going to learn about the game-changing concepts our scientists work on every day.
Here are the speakers and topics:
Mina Bissell: The mysteries behind cancer
Bill Jagust: Early detection of Alzheimer's: is it possible?
David Schlegel: The cosmic search for dark energy
Greg Bell: Accelerating science with (very, very) big data
Blake Simmons: Replacing a barrel of oil with plants and microbes
Aindrila Mukhopadhyay: Microbes to the rescue
Ron Zuckermann: Mimicking nature to create better materials
