And a lawsuit to shut it down? – Some people thought that CERN was some sort of scientific conspiracy of science, and plaintiffs from several different countries have asked their courts to halt its operation for a rather incredible reason: they claim that CERN may create a black hole that will swallow up the Earth. Meanwhile, results from the experiments being carried out by the there are finally coming out: It created even more particles than they thought it would. In fact, so many particles have been created that some scientists worry that they will gum up the works.

It’s not a medical conspiracy, it’s something researchers are really working on: Can we grow new body parts, the way some animals do? Can Alzheimer’s patients grow a new BRAIN?

Scientists have turned skin cells from mice tails into neurons able to form connections that are essential for brain functioning and it should work with human tissue too. Neurons from the skin of people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases could be inserted into their brains to heal them.

AND eat soy! – A lot of natural medicines turn out to be green and one of the best of these is green tea. The recession has something to do with this too: Green tea and soy are the types of foods that women consume who are not in the lowest socio-economic class, which is a group that tries to avoid sugar and processed foods. Scientists have noticed that women from poor backgrounds are more likely to die from breast cancer, and they want to know why. They’ve discovered a reason that has nothing to do with getting mammograms or with the quality of their medical care after they are diagnosed.

They ride the wind! – As spring arrives (slowly in some places), we are starting to see the return of our favorite birds and butterflies. Researchers are studying how these tiny creatures are able to make long-distance migrations for thousands of miles in the fall, then make it all the way back in the spring. It turns out they choose a wind stream that is going their way.

These insect migrants have a compass sense that enables them to select winds which will take them in their chosen direction, and to travel at speeds of up to 100 mph. The fast speeds of winds aloft mean that insects travel more-or-less downwind, but they make subtle adjustments along the way so that they partially correct for wind-induced drift away from the direction they want to go.read more
