In their purses, yamato nadeshiko (women who are, among other things, mindful and prepared) make a point to carry packets of tissue paper with them into the stall, and handkerchiefs to dry their hands. What other country would install devices to mimic the sound of a toilet flushing to discourage the waste of water by modest Japanese anxious to cover the sound of their micturition with multiple flushes...

"If they are successful it will revolutionize all of vaccinology...
...possibilities for medical breakthroughs don't end at vaccines. VaxDesign hopes to use the MIMIC system to study autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as inflammatory conditions, such as Crohn?s disease. The aim is to better understand both how these diseases impact immune function as well as help design smarter drugs. Says Koff, "the opportunities are endless...
