...anti-Tamiflu forces in Japan are led by Dr. Rokuro Hama, an epidemiologist and internal medicine specialist who heads the Japan Institute of Pharmacovigilance, a medical industry watchdog. Hama believes that Tamiflu can directly cause temporary neurological disorders in a small percentage of users - especially young people. That can lead to abnormal behavior, such as a seemingly happy, healthy teenager suddenly deciding to leap off a high-rise apartment building. Hama also notes that the Tamiflu doses taken in Japan can be as much as 10 times greater than the normal amount taken in the U.S., which could aggravate...
Over seventy years ago, in the face of Stalin’s anti-religious purge, the once-famed and numerous bells of Moscow were melted down.

Muriel Payan ’08, the conference’s co-director, said that the event was part of an important push to encourage women and minorities to pursue the sciences. “Lots of women and minorities are not really taking that science, mathematics, engineering route...
...years later, our nation again finds itself headed in the wrong direction: The price of oil is increasing, and our icecaps are melting. Fewer and fewer children have health insurance, but more women are having abortions. Nearly every day, more American troops are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, but anti-American sentiment continues to grow...
