Quick links: Ancient antibiotics to Yo-yo dieting
Ancient Nubians may have purposely brewed antibiotic-rich beer and fed it to sick people.
Scientists discover the properties of the perfect sports bra, but no bra on the market fits the description.
Study claims to disprove that “diets don’t work” by finding that it’s eating more post-diet that makes dieters fatter in the long run. Their results say the opposite to me: if the binge is typically triggered by dieting, doesn’t that make dieting the culprit?
To avoid overheating during exercise, you should drink more water, right? Probably not, say the guys at Science of Sport. Drinking a little extra doesn’t affect your body temperature much.
Some universities experiment with opening the online portion of classes to everybody - different than OpenCourseWare projects since the students can interact with each other.
It’s off-topic, but this guy is traveling the world with no baggage of any kind, just a vest with pockets. (The trip is sponsored by the maker of the vest). Yes, he keeps a change of underwear in his vest. Like the idea? Check out One Bag for tips on traveling with just a carry-on, no matter how far or how long you’re gone.

The trouble with the HPV vaccine article is that it still lets idiots claim “look at this diagram! the HPV vaccine is more dangerous than a snake bite!”
