Ultimately, some force other than science motivates those who deny that men and women differ at a level deeper than the epidermis. Human fetuses develop, grow, and differentiate into boys and girls with distinct physical traits, from reproductive characteristics, to build and facial structure—and, yes, to brain function. Male and female brains are irrefutably different: in developing fetuses, higher levels of testosterone promote not only the maturation of male genitalia but also the “masculinization” of the brain, resulting in sexually-dimorphic cerebral structures that are designed to excel in certain tasks...

My hope is that we can develop methods that will ultimately cure this disease.” Umetsu is already studying ways to prevent NKT cells from causing asthma. Asthma attacks are caused by immune system cells overreacting to relatively benign dust, smoke, or other irritants, restricting breathing in the process. According to results of the study...
...Light's point is that the Beasties’ position in the midst of middle-school hip-hop is the unique point in their repertoire. Other people have tried to develop their own sound and have tried to develop their own record label once they had a hit-record. Only the Beasties pioneered white-boys’ involvement in mainstream hip-hop. The current marketplace of rap albums carried almost entirely by the white-suburban market was introduced with the push of “License to Ill”—which they almost called...
