Indian girl, 16, &#8216;killed herself over fears Big Bang experiment could lead to end of the world&#8217;
I don&#8217;t wish to discuss the circumstances behind her death but further information may be found here.

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Reiss, director of education at the Royal Society, suggested that creationism be taught along side evolution in schools. His reasoning being that if creationism is just ignored then it alienates those that follow it further from science.
He said that around one in 10 children comes from a family with creationist beliefs. &#8220;My experience after [...]]]></description>

As if often the case in science some people who don&#8217;t understand what&#8217;s going on think it&#8217;s a bad idea. The result [...]]]></description>

Hair test to detect breast cancer could be on sale &#8216;within months&#8217;
A revolutionary test that detects the first signs of breast cancer from a few strands of a woman&#8217;s hair could be on sale within months.
Having scanned the references from the website of Fermiscan there doesn&#8217;t appear to be anything wrong [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#8217;t normally bother with this as it&#8217;s just too easy but it&#8217;s not the first time I&#8217;ve seen the BBC misunderstand the technology of processors.
&#8230;Intel has replaced the gate dielectrics, previously made from silicon dioxide, with a material based on the metal hafnium.
Hafnium is a so-called high-K material, which refers to its dielectric constant, [...]]]></description>

Despite this inability to understand basic science there is an article in today&#8217;s Observer that is remarkably sensible &#8211; The cranks who swear by citronella oil. The article is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BBC reports that &#8220;Stem Cells &#8216;Prompt cancer spread&#8217;&#8221;. This is a fantastically misleading headline. Although the story does concern the increased rate metastasis of tumours in the presence of stem cells the point of the research is &#8220;if stem cells increase metastasis then blocking stem cell action could reduce metastasis&#8221;.*
