A Possible Cure for Endometriosis?

Listening to: Forward Movement - Cornerstone Roots

My sister’s research (about 1/2 way down the page) is starting to be published!

Research has shown that the micro anatomy of the endometrium in sufferers is different to that of normal patients. Now researchers in Australia have used this as a starting point to try to identify proteins that are affected by the onset of endometriosis.

Sara ten Have and colleagues affiliated with the University of Sydney (Australia) have performed a proteomic study on the eutopic endometrium removed during routine surgery from six women diagnosed with endometriosis. They then compared the results with those from 12 women without the disease. All samples were collected during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.

Apple MacBookAir or Meh!

Listening to: Tales Of A Scorched Earth - Smashing Pumpkins

To the surprise of The Missus I displayed a good degree of apathy towards the MacBookAir. I am someone who now lives out of a laptop… and small is beautiful, but not the be all and end all. The MacBook sits so snuggly at the price/capability/weight sweet spot that moving is a thing I really need to think about. Conceptually I love the MBA, but practically it doesn’t do it for me. I think the 2nd and 3rd revs of the product will be the ones to watch. Gizmodo do an easily digestible comparison of the MBA and the other players.

While it’s technically the second time I have seen a Reprap in the flesh (I saw one in Boston last year) today was the first time I saw one running. A seriously cool piece of technology.
