YES! Now I can ignore that raster burn and keep working no matter how bad it is on my eyes! Seriously though, that is really great news since I'm sure it could lead to some really great human treatments.

Ah yes, blogging by press release is alive and well.

Especially in science blogging, what's the point of copy/pasting press releases? Where is the critical eye? Where is the independent thinking - the peer review?

Are there many science bloggers that cover scientific research with a critical eye? Biology News does press release copy/paste, sure, but he also does original summaries of some papers.

If you know of any good science bloggers, I'd love some to add to my list...
