PLoS ONE: How Academics Face the World: A Study of 5829 Homepage Pictures:
Since there is an asymmetry in the degree to which emotional information is conveyed by the face, with the left side being more expressive than the right, we hypothesised that academics in the sciences would seek to pose as non-emotional rationalists and put their right cheek forward, while academics in the arts would express their emotionality and pose with the left cheek forward. We sourced 5829 pictures of academics from their University websites and found that, consistent with the hypotheses, there was a significant difference in the direction of face posing between science academics and English academics with English academics showing a more leftward orientation.

A single intravenous injection of a lipid-based gas-filled solution brought 15 minutes worth of life-saving oxygen to rabbits with completely blocked airways.
Very cool. Hope it turns out to be real and doesn’t make people grow extra limbs or whatever.

- A cyclist with iPod hears better than a motorist driving | I Bike Toronto
A cyclist with iPod hears better than a motorist driving | I Bike Toronto:
The volume was set to a “reasonable” level, about 3 clicks below full volume on the iPod, which they measured to be 87 dB. They then had a cyclist call out “Passing” and ring a bell. The tester outside the car with headphones on playing music heard the call, whereas the tester in the car with the motor running and the stereo on at a moderate level (69 dB) did not.
I still only ever ride with one earphone (the non-traffic side) in, and my iPod is never as loud as 3 clicks from maximum. More like 40% of max.
