Perils of plastics? Survey of risks to human health and the environmen
Researchers have undertaken a survey of existing scientific literature concerning the hazards of plastics to human health and to the ecosystems we depend on. NASA's Deep Impact Adds Color To Unfolding Comet Picture
Painting by the numbers is a good description of how scientists create pictures of everything from atoms in our bodies to asteroids and comets in our solar system. Researchers involved in NASA's Deep Impact mission have been doing this kind of work since the mission's July 4th collision with comet Tempel 1. Modern Humans Or Neandertals? New Evidence Sheds Light On Cave Fossils
The human fossil evidence from the Mladeč Caves in Moravia, Czech Republic, excavated more than 100 years ago, has been proven for the first time, through modern radiocarbon dating, to be the oldest cranial, dental and postcranial assemblage of early modern humans in Europe. UCSF Study Finds English Proficiency A Major Hurdle In Patient Compreh
Limited efficiency with the English language is a barrier to medical comprehension and increases the risk of adverse medication reactions, according to a recent study led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco. Verizon Won't Offer Free Tethering, But Droid Hackers Might
The Droid will be able to do a lot more than Verizon is telling you. All we await is for Google to open Android 2.0's source code, which will enable mods to unlock features such as free tethering, iPhone-like pinching and more.
 EBay Negative on Negativland IPod
An artist modified a U2 iPod to make a statement about intellectual property rights and free culture, then listed the customized gadget on eBay. Apple wasn't amused, and the auction site removed the listing -- but attorneys say the artist did nothing wrong. By Katie Dean. Intelligent Dawkins debate

Well, if its debate they want, then it’s debate they shall have. The Education section of the Guardian reports that the [...] Yeast Network Prevents Damage By Oxygen Radicals
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), or 'oxygen radicals', have been identified as major contributors to signs of premature aging, increased cancer prevalence linked to inflammation-associated syndromes and a variety of human diseases. Now scientists at the University of California, San Diego Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) have identified a key network of DNA repair and cell cycle control genes in yeast that prevents the deleterious effects of ROS. Country Profile: Monaco

The dynamics of evolution are fully in play within the environment of a tumor, just as they are in forests and meadows, oceans and streams. This is the view of researchers in an emerging cross-disciplinary field that brings the thinking of ecologists and evolutionary biologists to bear on cancer biology. Insights from their work may have profound implications for understanding why current cancer therapies often fail and how radically new therapies might be devised.
