One from last year's igNobles (which I read today) about dung beetles with hats, indoors and outdoors.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982212015072

This has to be the cutest journal article I have ever read.

I recall after our son's scond round of MMR+ is said to the doctor with a serious voice 'I do hope that was a homeopathic vaccine' and her face was an absolutely picture of disbelief and suprpessed rage for a moment until I said 'sorry that was a joke'.  I really should grow up.

I'm still getting news letters on the Cancer treatment topic and this nugget cropped up today.

It looks significant.

We tried immuno based treatments and there was a significant delay to tumour progression; but the effect was short lived.
Not sure that this will prolong that effect or simply increase the initial hit.
Still, encouraging.

Honestly, having watched the latest series of "The Island"; I am fully converted to the position that several other Primate species are deserving of full "Human" rights.

Much more so, than most of those supposed Humans (probably, very carefully selected as complete Muppets) Mr Grylls has marooned...

More technology, but is this a future component to energy consumption...

An alternative point of view (in part based on gas based electricity being cheaper, and in a sense he's right it is out of price range for many) .

Someones PhD thesis.  I've not read it and am unlikely to, but figured someone else might be interested.

Anyone know a good source of science reporting that would discuss the antibacterial resistance in an intelligent and balanced way.

Bookmark the following...

ScienceMediaCentre.org

...for expert commentary on news items.  Current head of General Medical Council (I think) has quite a bee in her bonnet about antibacterial resistance.  Coincidentally I sat in on a Data Monitoring and Ethics Commitee meeting for a clinical trial testing new antibacterial drugs for Chalmydia the other day.
