The Washington team hopes to use the European sperm to fertilize American queen bees producing offspring that may be more resilient to colony collapse disorder the mysterious syndrome in which workers abandon a colony dooming it to die.

European beekeepers have suffered also from colony collapse disorder so it's not that European bees are more resistant to the problem.

An injection of European sperm will diversify the American bee gene pool however which may lead to healthier American insects.

I'm trying to suppress vomit at a Speedway. It's my third day on homemade Soylent a food-replacing beverage made of nutrients in their raw chemical forms

I think every generation has preferred its word for vomit and I think ours is'vom'he says.

Some nutritionists refute Rhinehart's claim that Soylent is healthy. One nutritionist told Business Insider that she sees a red flag for a potential eating disorder.

Another accused Rhinehart of hubris on NPR saying he shouldn't assume he knows what his body needs.

Plus 13 pills to take that he didn't grind up and put in the drink for the sake of avoiding chunks.

The nausea on the way to Sarah's graduation seems to be associated a fluke with the plain whey;

I usually take my pills and drink two glasses in the morning one around lunchtime and one for dinner.

because they all lead to heart disease. The most reliable monitor of whether you are eating right is your own body.

and makes you ill when you eat too much of something that is harmful in large quantities. The Soylent approach is exactly backwards.

and BE healthy rather than take something in pill form because some egghead told you it will make you healthy.

Magicicada is a plague unlike any other here in the northeast. And it is a plague with a reason:

#Scientists Reveal The Cause Of The irish Potato Famineit's widely acknowledged that Phytophthora infestans a sort of funguslike pathogen also known as potato blight was responsible for the mid-19th-century potato famine that reduced Ireland's population through death and emigration by nearly 25 percent.

But scientists have uncovered just the specific strain of this pathogen through a first-of-its kind procedure--by analyzing potato plants that have been dead for more than a hundred years.

In the mid-19th century travel between the New and Old world increased bringing over new strains of Phytophthora infestans.

One of those strains eventually mutated into a killer. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology took dried plants some from as far back as 170 years ago

Previously it was assumed that a strain known as US-1 was responsible for The irish Potato Famine but this research found that the strain on these dried potato plants is not in fact US-1. It's related

but genetically unique and US-1 was more likely to be the strain that replaced the culprit after it was eliminated.

They've named the new strain HERB-1. This is the first time that scientists have decoded the genome of a plant pathogen from dried plants

and the researchers say that the study holds promise for the future. These findings will greatly help us to understand the dynamics of emerging pathogens one of the researchers says.

The study will appear in a coming issue of the journal elife. Well with some of the other things Popsci supports.

In the future such a clone could be a source of stem cells for super-personalized therapies made from people's own DNA.

Mitalipov is a biologist who studies cells and development at the Oregon Health and Science University.

You also fail to mention just how many advances in modern medicine we were given by the Germans.

And yes a lot of medical breakthroughs came from the horrible experiments done by the Nazi's

I appreciate that controversy exists surrounding abortion. I would implore such people to consider the benefits which may arise as a consequence of experiments such as this.

The benefits for human health are immense. I find it rather strange that people often seem more eager to protect the rights of an undeveloped embryo

-which might not actually manage to develop into a human even under the right conditions-than of individuals who suffer daily with crippling diseases that were thrust upon them by chance

Stem cell research is an incredibly valuable source of information concerning real diseases that real humans are really suffering from right at this very moment.

Stem cell-derived organs might in future provide accurate disease models for screening of pharmaceutical compounds reducing the requirement for animal testing

and potentially getting new medicines to the people who need them more rapidly. Not to mention the potential applications of stem cell-derived organs in toxicology screens for new pharmaceutical compounds

in order to reduce the chances of severe side effects manifesting further down the line in real living people.

which will lead to a better understanding of embryogenesis potentially leading to currently unavailable treatments for debilitating congenital disorders

'there is enormous medical potential here and I think that to deny such potential for the individuals who will most benefit from it in future

DR-Work such as this will lead to significant medical breakthroughs in future therefore it is justified.

I spoke to Dr. John Flynn a paleontologist and expert on mammalian evolution at the American Museum of Natural history to find out why the US is stuck with lame squirrels and pigeons and stuff rather than cool monkeys.

and gone extinct says Dr. Flynn. Another collection of random events and they might have survived but not this time.

The Platyrrhines or New world monkeys says Dr. Flynn are all arboreal. They live in tropical forests; they're specialized for that kind of habitat.

A few species--Dr. Flynn specifically named the various species of spider monkey--were hardy enough to move north along the isthmus

or through water says Dr. Flynn. Even the most extreme monkeys don't get to the super high latitudes so the continent was effectively sealed off.

Anything is possible in evolution says Dr. Flynn. If climate change continues and it gets warmer globally they could continue further north.

They're owned by the NIH and trapped for research labs . I know it sounds like the beginning of a low-budget killer-virus movie

Originally the monkey colony now located on Morgan Island was located in La Parguera Puerto rico at the Caribbean Primate Research center (Klopchin 2). According to the CDC (Center for disease control

while infected with the herpes B virus . Although the herpes B virus is not harmful to the monkeys once transmitted to a human the virus infection has an almost 80%fatality rate (Shemcreeks).

#Your Paleofads Are Paleo-B. S. Along similar lines here are some comments from readers of the New york times health blog Well:

and turn intercontinental travel into the work of a few hours we are suffering from diseases our ancestors of a few thousand years ago much less our prehuman selves never knew:

diabetes hypertension rheumatoid arthritis. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest that for the first time in history the members of the current generation will not live

as long as their parents probably because obesity and associated maladies are curtailing the promise of modern medicine.

Some of this nostalgia for a simpler past is just the same old amnesia that every generation has about the good old days actually being all that good.

The ancient Romans fretted about the young and their callous disregard for the hard-won wisdom of their elders.

and that our health our family lives and perhaps our sanity would all be improved if we could live the way early humans did.

I am all for examining human health and behavior in an evolutionary context and part of that context requires understanding the environment in which we evolved.

and resistance to malaria to the list of rapidly evolved human characteristics and the stage is set for many more.

but a fully realized organism a fait accompli with all of the lovely details executed the anatomical t's crossed and i's dotted.

The insect has to resist disease as well as blend into its background; the dog must run

and health because adaptations that arose in one environment bedevil us in another. Hiccups hernias and hemorrhoids are caused all by an imperfect transfer of anatomical technology from our fish ancestors.

These problems haven't disappeared for a number of reasons: just by chance no genetic variants have been born that lacked the detrimental traits

or more likely altering one's esophagus to prevent hiccups would entail unacceptable changes in another part of the anatomy.

For the human species to continue we need to master our environment and deal with our toxic nature.

if he doesn't die of heart disease or some other ailment that befalls obesity. Which one could survive escaping from a wild animal (we still have these by the way?

With the lack of selective pressure of predation or disease in many developed countries the minor genetic mutations that would give rise to evolutionary traits under natural circumstances simply stay in the population and compound.

I'm not saying that there is no disease in developed countriesãust that it probably wont kill a human before he/she reproduces.

So instead of evolving to better handle the stresses of walking upright (for example) our evolutionary tree is simply branching out.

Allergies must be wanting dealt with for the day. As we remove ourselves from the natural environment we are getting more allergies.

It's been reported here just as in most other science outlets. But here and now this is talking evolution.

So aren't we seeing common examples of our bodies as evolutionary machines in things like allergies from our choice not to be hanging out in the cow pasture long enough to stay desensitized?

but we can also train our bodies to cope with poison. we've also become immune to various diseases..

#Which Drugs Actually Kill Americans Infographic Death reporting in the U s. requires an underlying cause the event or disease that lead to the death.

and poisoning with undetermined intent. In addition to the underlying cause a death certificate has space for up to 20 additional causes.

That's where cocaine or antidepressants would show up. The subcategories are limited in their detail many drugs are lumped together like MDMA and caffeine

which are listed together as psychostimulants. And about a quarter of all overdose death certificates don't have the toxicity test results listed at all landing them in the unspecified stripe.

By adding all those sub-categories up imperfect as they may be it's clear that the rate of reported overdoses the U s. more than doubled between 1999 and 2010.

About half of those additional deaths are in the pharmaceuticals category which the CDC has written about before.

Nearly three-quarters of the pharmaceuticals deaths are opioid analgesics prescription painkillers like Oxycontin and Vicodin.

And while cocaine heroin and alcohol are all responsible for enough deaths to warrant their own stripes on the chart many popular illegal drugs including marijuana

and LSD are such a tiny blip as to be invisible. A few caveats about the statistics:

if a person had listed multiple drugs on their death certificate they're being counted twice here.

or one on diabetes or obesity it would fit but not here. How can you put up this graph

when its got Marijuana lumped in with all of the truly dangerous drugs. MARIJUANA has caused NEVER a single case of overdose in all of human history.

This information you are posting is incorrect. Maybe you should list Tobacco at the top...

Tobacco kills more Americans than all of these drugs+pharma=COMBINED!**400000 Americans killed by Tobacco each year.

Drug laws are divorced from reality. They only serve to support the drug trade. We cannot continue to lie to drug users

and expect them to take us seriously. They know better than anyone that all drugs are not bad and all pharmaceuticals are not safe either.

Why would our children listen to us if they think we are fools? Looks like Alcohol overdoses have doubled in the last few years as well.@

@Auroria Good job. People don't like to hear the truth these days. All they use google for is to search for porn.

Taylorjusher That is because people are believing the lie that legal drugs are safe and illegal ones are dangerous.

while the reckless outlaws using overpriced contaminated incorrectly dosed illegal drugs are still alive and partying.

But at the end at our death a doctor will often just list one or a few things that nailed our coffin not all

The elderly obese man had drugs in his system as he stepped in front of the bus that squished him running away from his angry wife with that machete.

Good to see the folks over at Popsci are focusing on Cannabis and the many benefits of this wonder plant.

People are dying young from cirrhosis of the liver traditionally caused from alcoholism; yet they have consumed never alcohol.

Upon autopsytheir fatty liver disease resembled that of an alcoholic. However the culprit was excess sugar

More proof that the war on drugs is a wasteful fallacy. Absolute BS. I don't know where they got these statistics but

Alcohol and opioids like heroin have got to be the drugs causing the most death..The graph is anything but clear.

Auroria I agree that sugar is a drug and that is extremely unhealthy (I avoid it).

Sugar is One Atom Away from Cocaine http://tugunchiro. com. au/articles/sugar-is-one-atom-away-from-cocaine. htmlnot only is sugar (C12h22o11) not one atom away from cocaine (C17h21no4)

The only thing this graph really shows me is that pharmaceutical overdoses have increased quite a bit from 1999-2010between 1999 and 2010 the US population increased by 11%to 308 million.

In that same time green pharma related drug deaths increased from 2. 7 to 9. 9 per 100000 per year (1. 8cm by ruler to 6. 6cm where 25%=16. 6cm

FDA approved pharmaceuticals are by far the greatest and fastest growing source of overdoses and 2:

overdoses from cannabis and all of the psychedelics COMBINED (LSD mescaline etc) are practically zero and need to be lumped in with'overdose by assault'(basically murder by poisoning)

Suicides would fall under intentional self-harm which has grown a negligible amount but almost nothing compared to the unintentional category.

Something like Deaths by Drug Overdose Group by Drug would have been a billion times better. Please be more responsible.

Best Answer-Chosen by Voters Nope it is not possible to overdose on marijuana. Theoretically one could overdose on it

but in reality those levels could never be reached. http://www. druglibrary. org/schaffer/library/mj overdose. htmmarijuana also doesn't cause cancer. http://www. washingtonpost. com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25

/AR2006052501729 PF. htmlthere have been recorded no deaths due to marijuana use alone either. Obviously smoking it will produce some negative effects

That being said there are healthier methods of ingestion such as vaporizing tinctures and edibles. Those methods still can't yield a toxic response

and nullify the risks associated with smoking. Stole this from yahoo answers By the truth...

This is insulting that Marijuana is lumped in there at all. It has been proven in at least a half a dozen studies (look them up for yourself) that it's impossible to overdose on marijuana we would have to smoke a few thousand joints in 5 mins and

I don't see it getting passed 50 and that is smoking as fast as possible. So the face that it's lumped in with LSD Opium

and mushrooms should be considered an insult to the readers intelligence.@@Auroria: You forgot one important point;

Your ill-informed post does reveal one truth: excess intake can be harmful. Remember the difference between a medicine

and a poison is dose. I think the next question people should be asking (in order to start a discussion) would be:

What causes could contribute to an increase in pharmaceutical overdoses? Starting with the obvious (but there are plenty of other reasons:

Easy access. It seems to me that certain things that have been lumped together were done so arbitrarily so.

Cannabis being lumped into the same category as LSD and overdose by assault. What is represented not effectively conspicuously seemingly by design are drugs that cause zero deaths.

1. This chart shows deaths caused by drug overdose. It does not show deaths from chronic health problems caused by drug use nor accidents (car crashes falls) nor suicides while intoxicated.

If all these other deaths were shown the death count for alcohol would be much much greater. 2. Overdose deaths from cannabis LSD magic mushrooms

and mescaline are virtually unknown. It would be more accurate to say that Other includes PCP

which can cause overdose deaths. I agree very much about sugar. People concentrate on illegal drugs when legal drugs kill many times more.

In France Alcool is third biggest killer. Here government encourage to drink wine
