Scientific Understanding
[image: Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole]Is There a Limit to Scientific Understanding?[image: Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole] - MARTIN REES Albert Einstein said that the “most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it *is* comprehensible.” He was right to be astonished. Human brains evolved to be adaptable, but our underlying neural architecture has barely changed since our ancestors roamed the savannah and coped with the challenges that life on it presented. It’s surely remarkable that these brains have allowed us to make sense of t... mais »

Breast Cancer Risk and contraceptives
All Hormonal Birth Control Is Linked to Increased Breast Cancer Risk, Study Shows Here's what you need to know. MIKE MCRAE 8 DEC 2017 New research has added to the growing pile of evidence that taking hormonal contraceptives increases your relative risk of developing breast cancer. While these findings fall in line with what we already know, the study focussed mostly on formulations and delivery methods that have been developed since the mid-1990s - meaning that even newer contraceptives on the market are still adding to the problem./.../
Genes and Behavior
Do Genes Direct Our Behavior? [Video] Studying the acute sense of smell may provide some answers - By Mark Fischetti on December 8, 2017 What do we do when we’re hungry? How do we react when people gather around us? Where do we go when we want to be alone? Humans have so many complex behaviors, yet researchers think many of them have developed directly from the ways animals act and react. Whether that is true can be revealed by studying how genes direct biological functions, and how those functions result in action. Cori Bargmann, a neurobiologist at Rockefeller University, is hot... mais »

Minimally invasive mitral valve replacements, on the other hand, are a lot more difficult and prone to post-op complications, and so are still a rarity. Yet, 60% of patients over 75 have mitral valve disease, and it's an even bigger problem than aortic valves. … Read more... mais »
