Controversy over what your doctor should learn
The current fashion in teaching doctors, which allows medical students to decide what they want to learn and how to go about it, is strongly criticised in a paper published in the British Medical Journal this week (10th July 2004). The authors argue that the new ideology may damage medical training in this country, and that there is now a risk... view more... (2004-07-07)
Noise-Immune Stethoscope Helps Medics Hear Vital Signs in Loud Environments

Sound Filters Light
Russian researchers have developed a small, smart and tolerant to vibrations spectrometer, which is equally reliable in the outer space and in oceanic depths. The development was performed with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). The... view more... (2004-11-01)
Baby got math
