And this time the host, T, of ‘Notes From An Anesthesioboist‘ (classical music while you go under? sounds lovely) is hosting in six parts, each introduced by a snippet from a classic movie. It’s a HUGE list this time with tons and [...] In a BBC news report on a preliminary research discovery that testicles may become a source for stem cells, Professor Robin Lovell-Badge (how British is that name?) is quoted as saying that further work needs to be done; therefore the issue “will have to be left dangling a little longer.” Could you turn your [...]  Here’s a truly provocative study – looking at whether or not reading a novel about positive images and weight loss can affect the weight of severely overweight tweens.
