Nearly 30% believed this, although there is no scientific evidence to prove or disprove the relationship between cell-phone use and brain cancer. The National Cancer Institute continues to study any possible links, but they note that the rapidly changing technology of cell phones (newer phones emit less potential cancer-causing radiation than older models) and the difficulty of documenting the duration of people's exposure could make a definitive answer difficult...
...good mayor's ad hoc phrenology correct? Or was Schiller's fertile brain actually housed in another skull dug up almost a century later? Scientists from the Friedrich Schiller Code research project are now determined to find out. They will compare dna taken from the two skulls with dna from the skeleton of Schiller's second son, Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm, who was exhumed in Bonn on July 19. "Ultimately, this will show us whether one of the skulls is Schiller's - or whether neither of them is," says Freiburg anthropologist Ursula Wittwer-Backofen, one of the chief Code researchers...
...crowd was wooed but not quite won. "My heart is with Obama, but my brain is with Hillary," said Lourdes Diaz of Miami. "I want to be able to vote for him, but I just don't know yet." Which pretty much sums up the state of the Democratic presidential race in midsummer. It is weirdly static. In most presidential campaigns I've covered, someone has made a dramatic move one way or another by now--Howard Dean's upward whoosh in 2004, for example. "Yeah, and then I had that downward whoosh," Dean told me recently, laughing. "This race...
...stripped of their posters and the last of the lunchroom trays had been cleared, that was the true beginning of summer. Each year after I received my final report card, I’d close the door on academia and only two thoughts competed for attention in my young brain: the fact that I'd somehow aced Algebra, and the sneaking (yet perennially inaccurate) suspicion that this would be the year I finally filled out my tankini. Ahead of me lay nothing but two months of unstructured time in which to but scrape my knees, freckle my nose, and lust...
...human tumors grown in mice. "The target we are hitting is something that most cancer cells use to eat away normal tissue to make space for the cancer to grow," he says. So far the researchers have successfully illuminated five kinds of cancers: gliomas and medulloblastomas in the brain, sarcomas in muscles, and prostate and colon cancers. They expect to begin testing the agent in human patients next year...
