		<description><![CDATA[In a huge ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet has said that gene patents are invalid. As you may recall, last May, the ACLU was the first to finally challenge whether or not genes could be patented. There was a lot of back and forth over the case, with many saying that a ruling against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a press conference yesterday, researchers announced the completely unexpected: a Siberian cave has yielded evidence of an entirely unknown human relative that appears to have shared Asia with both modern humans and Neanderthals less than 50,000 years ago. The find comes courtesy of a single bone from individual&#8217;s hand. Lest you think that paleontologists [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the CDC, roughly 440,000 deaths each year are associated with smoking. Also according to the CDC, roughly 400,000 deaths each year are associated with obesity. Many more people die each year in the USA from motor vehicle accidents (roughly 40,000) than in airplane crashes (fewer than 1,000). But people spend a lot more [...]]]></description>

Moving into the sub-atomic realm, they permanently stored 35 bits in the quantum space surrounding a single electron.&#8221; (from ZDNet) Share var button = [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past 20 years, huge swaths of the sky have been searched for slowly moving bodies, and well over 1000 KBOs found. But these wide-area surveys can spot only large, bright objects; longer-exposure surveys that can find smaller, dimmer objects cover only small areas of the sky. A Mars-sized object at a distance of, [...]]]></description>

They announced a while back that they were going to start relying more on the private sector, and now the Obama collective seem intent on dismantling the agency altogether. President-elect Obama seems intent on burning down the house of cards that is NASA, presumably to replace it with an agency [...]]]></description>
