...cancer vaccine is not like the measles shot you get as a kid. Instead of inoculating a healthy person against a foreign body like a virus, cancer vaccines use parts of tumors to help the patients' immune systems recognize diseased cells. Follicular lymphoma, a generally slow-moving cancer of the immune system that affects roughly 5,000 Spaniards each year, presents an especially enticing target for vaccine researchers because its cells all carry a protein, called an idiotype, that distinguishes them from their healthy counterparts. Mixing the idiotype with other substances that trigger immunological responses, "the vaccine presents a tumor...

"Dyscalculia is where dyslexia was 30, 40 or 50 years ago," says Mahesh Sharma, a professor of mathematics education at Cambridge College in Massachusetts. Indeed, even the definition is a bit fuzzy. Some researchers count disabilities in spatial perception or arithmetic operations as dyscalculia, while others restrict it to difficulty recognizing numbers normally.

...days for a body’s internal clock to reset. Though Lockley did say that neither napping nor hitting the snooze button is useless, he stressed the importance of long, undisturbed blocks of sleep at night. “The first four hours of sleep are characterized by slow eye movement, and the second half by rapid eye movement,” he said. “It’s important to fully get both.” “Set your alarm for the final hour, and get up right away,” Lockley suggested...
