Eye Drops Could Dissolve Cataracts
An anonymous reader writes: As Slashdot readers age, more and more will be facing surgery for cataracts. The lack of cataract surgery in much of the world is a major cause of blindness. Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified lanosterol as a key molecule in the prevention of cataract formation that points to a novel strategy for cataract prevention and non-surgical treatment. The abstract is freely available from Nature. If you have cataracts, you might want to purchase a full reprint while you can still read it.
It makes me glad that I can call my president an asshole if I feel he is being an asshole. Of course, I will be labled a racist if I do so but that is another matter entirely.
Labelled by idiots. A label to wear with pride. Of course I could be wrong - but I suspect it's unlikely that you would call Obama an arsehole because of the colour of his skin. Even calling him a black arsehole doesn't make you a racist bigot. It's just an accurate description.
I am sure I will be a sexist for not voting for Hillary as well but, again, that is another matter entirely.
Labelled a sexist bigot by idiots - maybe. But not voting for someone - whatever your reasons is just exercising your right to vote.
Just saying.
Of course I'll be labelled rude by idiots. Maybe I am, but it won't make them less idiotic.
