Genetic Diversity Predicts Susceptibility To A Deadly Emerging Disease
Theory and molecular immunology predict that reduced genetic diversity increases susceptibility to new diseases. Does reduced genetic diversity over a large portion of a species' range imply similarly widespread disease risk? [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Truly filthy lucre
Scientists in Bristol have developed a new analytical technique that involves feeding bank notes into a mass spectrometer to help forensic scientists to quickly distinguish between notes contaminated with illicit drugs and money from general circulation Are Women Being Scared Away From Math, Science, And Engineering Fields
Have you ever felt outnumbered? Like there are just not that many people like you around? One group that may experience this kind of threat is women who participate in math, science and engineering settings -- settings in which the gender ratio is approximately three men to every one woman. New research shows that when women feel outnumbered, their academic performance expectations and actual performance decreases. Rub Your Way to Political Success
Help President Bush realize his secret political aspiration: to massage world leaders into relaxed compliance. In Table of Malcontents. Einstein's Dark Energy Accelerates The Universe

Infant vernier acuity is not as immature as previous research has indicated according to a study published in March in the Journal of Vision, an online, free access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). The data from this study also suggest that vernier testing could be a substitute for the traditional Snellen eye chart test for children or others who cannot read letters. Womb Needed For Proper Brain Development
The brains of babies born very prematurely do not develop as well as those who are carried to full-term, according to new research presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Washington, D.C. Researchers reported that an ultrasound study of the brains of babies born around 26 weeks gestation showed that certain aspects of brain development were very compromised compared to infants in utero. Birth of a Gadget: Inside the Industrial Design Process
