Did I mention I am catching up on some stuff?
I came across some interesting bits in Science recently:
Icelandic sheep really are special - we always knew this, nice to see it confirmed by modern science... (free abs)
Nice article on horse colour selection in same issue
Decent discussion on NASA cost overruns
Science robots - NYT article on this and this - er, chaps, are we sure this is really such a good idea?
Fe/N/C catalyst for a PEM fuel cell - that is almost as good as Pt/C, but cheaper. Now to make it stable, and little bit better...
Persistent North Atlantic Oscillations driving century time scale climate variations - hmmmm
DNA walking nanorobot - awesome!
Intriguing item on anorexia - possible role of BDNF brain protein as marker, or cause, of anorexia - both as diagnostic and for recovery
