Proper hydration is required for efficient functioning with all aspects of homeostasis, immune response, and wound healing. This is a given;...
That's much better. :wink:
I take issue with this premise near the start of the article. Most species? I’m the first to admit that my knowledge of evolutionary theory isn’t...
I don’t disagree that the economics of Mars missions is dire. But there are tangible scientific benefits to space exploration, not just in aerospace...
There’s certainly no shortage of publications that indicate light intensity and wavelength affect circadian rhythms. But maybe the issue isn’t as...

They do. They have Sukhoi and MiG fighters, dozens of them. But they don't have air supremacy and most airport runways have been disabled. It's not...
Wow, you’re giving me flashbacks to my university genetics lectures! :eek: It’s been almost 30 years since I studied bacteriophage transduction of...
Pffftt, let's be serious please. Halfpenny at least.
