Unless you're in academia or want to pay a subscription to an online news feed you mostly won't read!

A scheduler for teachers and scientists who want to get together and promote education for science! Cue cheesey relationship jokes.
Note: For all the amazing teachers I know that read this blog, resource: http://www.nationallabday.org/

First HM's brain is dissected, next the full structure of a Glutamate Receptor is revealed. Tis a good week for Neuro. If we can get an accurate kinetic model for Glutamate I'm sure our project will do well.

Being exposed to more hostile environments means developing a better immune system. Who would have thought? :V Seriously, isn't it common sense that being dirty means that you'll be exposed to more things and thus try to develop immunity from it? I guess its the whole "cleaner = healthier" mentality... but being clean prevents you from being sick as long as you're clean. If a clean person and a "dirty" person were to go into the "dirty" environment... then yea the clean person would get sick first. :/
