In the wake the decision earlier this month in favor of Simon Singh’s libel appeal, the British Chiropractic Association has dropped its suit against the writer. You can read the BCA’s statement, but the money shot is that they think the defense that Singh would use would prove too tough to fight. Score one for the [...] New research out of the Sydney Burns Foundation may be able to provide new hope to people who have suffered from burns or other disfigurements. Current generation skin graft treatments require either harvesting skin from another part of the body, or using lab grown replacements, and have the distinct disadvantage of not quite functioning right.

This particular family was chosen because their children both have two very, and I [...] Oh my, score another one for the forces of good! Simon Singh’s supporters have fought back against the BCA! The British Chiropractic Association sued Guardian science writer Simon Singh over one of his comments on their profession, under Britain’s notorious libel laws. What many people don’t realise, is that the official stance of many chiropractors, is that [...] Here’s a thing I wrote at io9, about research out of South Korea into oxygenated booze, and how it’s less likely to give you a nasty hangover.
