Paramecia Adapt Their Swimming to Changing Gravitational Force
For many single-celled organisms living in water, the force is always against them. The classic example is the slipper-shaped paramecium, which consistently swims harder going up than going down, just to keep from sinking.   view more (2006-09-19)

Listeriosis infection primer for health-care providers and the public
With the current outbreaks of listeriosis in Canada connected to deli meats and cheese, CMAJ is releasing guidelines for health care professionals and the general public about symptoms, who is at risk, symptom management, and how to reduce the risk of listeriosis.   view more (2008-09-12)

Simulated crop provides answer to irrigation issues
South Asia has witnessed a rapid growth in rice and wheat production that has defined the Green Revolution there.
