Derek Lowe isn’t impressed.
@Rand_Simberg @Dereklowe @Eaterofsun Maybe they could just install Windows 10 into the tumors?

Coffee Beans
This seems like too much work for me, given that I’ve never had a good cup of coffee (it’s just a matter of to what degree it tastes less awful), but here’s a guide to roasting your own.
Female Orgasms
Speaking of evolution, this looks like an interesting paper.
Melatonin
…may prevent and treat migraines. I don’t suffer from them, but I know a lot of people who do.
Hillary’s Campaign
[Update a while later]
The news media’s miscalculation about Hillary’s health.
Dementia
A new breakthrough drug to halt it in its tracks?
Faster, please.
Of course, there’s always this: “Despite it being a small sample there appeared to be a slowing of cognitive decline and functional decline. The group with a high degree of amyloid removal were basically stable. If we could reproduce this it would be terrific.”
Yes. Yes it would.
Aging
…is finally starting to be treated as the disease that it is.
This has been a philosophical battle, but we’re finally making headway. I hope it’s not too late for me.
Lunar Heart Disease
Does going to the moon increase risk of heart attacks?
I can’t tell from this study, because I consider it insufficiently controlled. For instance, they don’t say what generation they pulled the data from. A sixty-year old today is likely to be in a different state of health than one from thirty years ago. For all I know, the Apollo astronauts got their heart attacks from terrible dietary advice in the seventies, as my father did.
A New Titanium Alloy
Adding gold vastly increases strength and hardness. I’d still prefer just regrowing the standard body parts, though.
I wonder what aerospace applications it might have?
Skinny Fat People
This is an excellent example of how simplistic too many people’s (including medical professionals) view of diet, dietary fat and obesity remain. The simply notion that you are what you eat is stupid.
