Currently, a study led by researchers at Stockholm University demonstrates how this microscopic parasite so effectively spreads in the body, for example, to the brain. The parasite infects immune cells and steals their identity. The research study...
Public opinion is shifting to wanting a much more proactive approach to animal well-being rather than a reactive approach to animal cruelty. University of Adelaide specialists asked the Australian public about their perception of the penalties for animal cruelty. The court of public opinion Rochelle Morton, a Ph.D. student from the University of Adelaide's School of Animal...

Honey - ancient liquid gold A multitude of factors-- its acidity, lack of water, and the existence of hydrogen peroxide-- function in absolute harmony, allowing honey to last forever. Modern archeologists excavating ancient Egyptian tombs have often discovered something unpredictable among the tombs' artifacts: pots of honey, thousands of years old and yet still completely preserved....
