How Not to Grab the Blogosphere
This week I, and a dozen or so other science writers and bloggers, got spammed with a single email by a public relations company hoping to get us to write about the “next big thing” from their client. Nothing shocking there, we all get PR puff blown at us every day of the week. One [...] Moss Is A Super Model For Feeding The Hungry
Scientists have sequenced the genome for moss (Physcomitrella) -- the first nonflowering or "lower"plant to be sequenced. Now that they have sequenced the moss's DNA, scientists will be able to identify which genes control moss'survival tactics and adapt food crops to do the same. High-tech applications envisioned for 'multiferroic' crystals
Scientists have had surprising results involving an unusual family of crystalline minerals. Their findings could lay the groundwork for future researchers seeking to develop a new generation of computer chips and other information-storage devices that can hold vast amounts of data and be strongly encrypted for security purposes. Environmental Tobacco Smoke Linked To Reading, Math, Logic And Reasoni
A new Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center study shows that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, even at extremely low levels, is associated with decreases in certain cognitive skills, including reading, math, and logic and reasoning, in children and adolescents. Hormone Fluctuations May Be Responsible For Many Mood Disturbances In
Although mood disorders and depression may occur at any age during a woman's life, women seem to more vulnerable during times of hormonal fluctuations such as the menstrual period, pregnancy and perimenopause, according to a new report. During times of hormonal flux, many women are able to emerge relatively unscathed. But for others, a normal hormonal transition can trigger mild to severe mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder. The Real Adult Expo
Sex-tech is emerging from the fringe to the middle of the main convention floor. But where are the webcams? Commentary by Regina Lynn. Society for the Preservation of Weeksville and Bedford-Stuyvesant Hist

Babies are born to dance, new research shows
A study of infants finds they respond to the rhythm and tempo of music and find it more engaging than speech. The research suggest that babies may be born with a predisposition to move rhythmically in response to music. Any Exposure To Tobacco Smoke During Pregnancy Is Risky
A re-examination of data from earlier studies suggests that exposure to second-hand smoke during pregnancy can be just as detrimental to a developing fetus as primary exposure through maternal smoking, according to a recent paper from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Significant evidence of genetic mutations linked to later development of disease, including cancer, was found in cord blood from newborns for all maternal exposure to tobacco smoke. Expandable Electrodes Safe And Effective For Radiofrequency Ablation O
The use of expandable electrodes with multiple tips in the treatment of liver tumors by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is safe and effective, making it a useful alternative to surgery in selected patients, say researchers from the University of Brescia in Italy.
