Now the nickname could have gone one of many ways: ‘Dict, Shooter, Dragonbreath, Substance, Bender, or Sniffles. (Cockroach has been reserved for Keith Richards for But ultimately, it seemed prudent to just go with the obvious old stand-by. Anyway: That’s right boys and girls. It turns out The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne himself, is a Mutant. Read More In: Better Living Through Chemistry | Nutrition | Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll | Stupid Health Tricks

Ok; besides: “Ernest F****** Hemingway”,… Nevertheless: Hop on over and be blown away by the entire geopolitical cavalcade that is Joan Acocella’s Magnum Opus, From feeling like Gregor Samsa when you wake up, To: 
Check out Professor Lee Cronin’s short but interesting take on where Medicine, Apps, Big Data For Chemistry and 3D Printers might go in the near future. The implications sound pretty huge, especially for shipping-costs and disintermediation, if the process can be standardized and controlled. *It REALLY would have to be in order to avoid scenarios like the following: “Uh, we’re really sorry Mrs. Johnson, but we forgot a few atoms in there, and instead of HRT pills, you got Androgel 25.5%. Enjoy your new life as a man. -Yeah, I know. Shaving really is a pain.

Thanks to the hard-working researchers at The Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in Korea, 40% of which may have less-efficient ADH enzyme, I’m trying asparagus definitely before, possibly during, and maybe even after tactical drinking-sorties/jager-bombing-of-Dresdens.

 Scientists had previously assumed only 23,000, or ~2%, of our approximately 3 Billion genes are functional at all, because of their active involvement in protein synthesis. Well the ENCODE project just blew that number right out of the water. It’s looking more like 80% of the genome is involved in one way or another, especially in a supervisory role. Some of the genes may not be coding proteins themselves directly, but they, like middle-management, are involved in how much of each gets made and when. If you’re into more details about the more than 30 papers filed by hundreds of scientists, head over to the links and get a bigger picture of how they hope to figure out the future of conquering disease with this new information: Links: 
 And on the Running theme, anyone who’s had a joint issue for whatever reason, can attest to how hard it is to get back on your feet. Well, buck up little camper, Because: Science! By synthesizing a new combination-gel that unites two different types, that then absorb calcium molecules, scientists at Harvard have come up with what they think might be a pretty good Replacement for Cartilage.

 -Saving at least a little face in the bottom of the 9th. A recent study on obesity in children showed that the fattest group of was 2x as likely to have BPA in them, but only provided they were white. The jury is still out, with the more likely candidate being Soda Consumption, as BPA is part of the plastic bottles it comes in.
