Nanoparticles make everything taste like chicken. That is the power of nanoscience. Anyway, research animals should be eaten if the substances which were used on them are safe.
My school was once a bastion of hippie ideology. After the anti-nuclear protests last year, the administration made it a crime to camp out on our campus.
I am all for using RNAi to target viruses as well as trypanosomes. What do you think about alcohol consumption increasing obesity? That might slow things down a bit too.
The New England Journal of medicine paper that is cited in the article would indicate that even if there are cheap virus tests, doctors are not using them when they should. I agree that this could lead to an overuse of antibiotics. The biggest benefits of this test would seem to be: disease surveillance, choosing the right antiviral, not using antibiotics when the infection is viral.
I remember participating in Scouting on the Air, a ham radio event for Boy Scouts, and hearing the leader tell us how Ham radio operators are so helpful in disasters. They tend to be great people. I strongly agree with him. The guys at Cal IT 2 in San Diego are amazing with using supercomputing to update maps of disaster areas.
There should be a concerted effort to figure out how this happens. Lg should ask a bunch of college kids to try and trigger the things. That might give them insight into how to fix the problem.
I wrote a blog post that asked the question: Can Tasers Kill People?
From that point on, scientific literature did the talking for me.

Shortly after that Taser International sent sixty demand letters to different news agencies that had run stories slamming their product. Luckily, we did not get one.

They appear to be more litigious than the Church of Scientology. Xenu be praised.
This reminds me of that scary crystal thing that almost destroyed the Starship Enterprise one time.
On a side note, CU Boulder is an amazing school. It seems like they do some great nucleic acids work everytime I open a journal.
I think that, Giant Telescopes by Patrick McCray presents a pretty cynical but insightful view of the program.
One of the best things about SETI, it allows researchers to work with a bare minimum of overhead. University researchers sometimes ask SETI to maintain their grants so that the school will not skim funds off of the top.
Molecular gastronomy is partially a scam to sell expensive lab equipment to rich foodies. With that said, I will probably sell out and write articles about the coolest gadgets and techniques. I do like the idea of vacuum pumps as a culinary tool. Sucking and pumping was meant for the kitchen.
I have seen that tablet! It is big and black and sticking out of the ground. Some apes were fighting by it and then one of them picked up a bone and used it to club another ape.
First off, thank you to James E. Kloeppel, the author of the press release, for giving credit to the grad student and identifying him as the lead author.
Second, I have no idea where water is formally known as dihydrogen monoxide. Hopefully, that was a joke.
When I go to see the queen, I will be sure to address it by the proper name.
Go Illini!
It sounds like the entire press release could be summed up in one sentence. They developed a new iridium catalyst that helps electrochemically reduce oxygen in fuel cells.
The issue here is not how many students are being trained, it is how well they are educated, particularly at the earlier stages. Plus, job openings are for corporate positions, what this country needs is more scientific entrepreneurs.
I had my first experiences with LOGO at six. I am guessing that your kid is super smart, so some exposure at an even earlier age might be a good thing.
People at risk of Alzheimer's might want to chew nicotine gum or otherwise stimulate their nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It may have some protective effects, but won't do anything about the beta amyloid tangles.
Elon Musk will play the villian. He will try to cremate Scotty and launch him into orbit with a Falcon rocket. On a side note, Richard Branson should be cast as Moonraker in the next James Bond movie.

Yeah, there are also surgical gels made from a polymer which is structurally similar to a protein from mussels.

This better not be part of an ARG for the upcoming Get Smart movie.

Monsanto is involved with this, so after the apocalypse, Indian peasant farmers will still be taking it in the shorts from big corporations.
It sounds like personal politics of the the star trek cast.
That seems like a very low priority in comparison to developing better armor and medical supplies for the guys on the ground.

All science experiments are cruel to the grad students that stay up late at night working on them.
When I submitted this, I think that I did link to the abstract.
Adam Rogers did a segment on the castration of modern chemistry sets for the new Wired Science TV Show. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/multimedia/2007/10/dangerous_science

And then they cover the whole thing in rich creamery butter.
