A few years ago an editor pointed out to me that in my discussion of some quantum mechanical metaphysics I had written back-peddling when I meant...
Thanks, my flagging system seems a bit arbitrary. I wouldn't think it was a bad option. Signals can be blocked either in nerve tissue or...
Nice to be able to draw a conclusion without any results.
I hope they have done the trial properly.
This is worrying. I hope it is not an indication that ill-informed MPs are now in charge of detailed healthcare decisions. Very simply my wife...

I am pretty sure it is the same haphazard process that gave us 'biro' in the UK, 'bic' in USA, 'hoover' (all with small letters), croque monsieur,...

Worth remembering that rabbit have very big ears and don't often stand up.
Microglia are part of the innate immune system. 'Immune suppression' is usually used to mean suppression of the adaptive immune response, although...
There are electronic alarm clocks for sale by e.g. Sony that an iPod can be fixed to and presumably produce any recording including birdsong. They...
No.
