"In women, we have studies based on hundreds of thousands of patients," says Dr. Larissa Korde, staff clinician at the National Cancer Institute's clinical genetics branch. For men, there are simply no studies of that scale. Though much can be extrapolated from research in women, Korde says, often "it's a little bit harder to make recommendations for men based on evidence...

The pair said they became interested in the accuracy of evaluations during their own reviews. They chose chocolate for the study because they had noticed that distributing treats around evaluation...
...first half of the course. But after passing Weld Boathouse, the crew lost speed and fell back over the final third. In head racing, in which a boat does not have its opponents in its sights to push the squad to row faster, this slowing down is bound to occur. “Our stroke rate was higher than we expected,” Demers said. “But [during the race], we moved away from the boats ahead of us, so they were able to race against each other, whereas we were alone for the entire race...
