But they were really just caretakers; they didn’t cure anyone. In fact, in those institutions, the “inmates” were very often subjected to cruel and inhumane psychiatric experimentation, and much of it was inflicted upon them to keep them quiet, not make them better. When the Great War broke out, psychiatry made its first foray into the military. For example, in Germany, soldiers who were unwilling to return to the hellish trench warfare … Continue reading Military suicides: Psychiatry’s greatest secret experiment

Why your fingerprints may not be unique

Fernando Kaskais

By Sarah Knapton Assumption that everyone has a unique fingerprint from which they can be identified through a computer database is flawed, says Home Office expert Mike Silverman Fingerprint evidence linking criminals to crime scenes has played a fundamental role in convictions in Britain since the first forensic laboratory was set up in Scotland Yard in 1901. But the basic assumption that everyone has a unique fingerprint from which they can be quickly identified through a computer database is flawed, an expert has claimed. Mike Silverman, who introduced the first automated fingerprint detection system to the Metropolitan Police, claims that … Continue reading Why your fingerprints may not be unique

By Amir Alexander ‘Our Mathematical Universe’: A Case for Alternate Realities Zooming through a Stockholm intersection on his bicycle one morning, 18-year-old Max Tegmark never saw the truck that hit him. The blast of a horn, the screech of tires and a sickening thud followed in quick succession, extinguishing a young life filled with promise. It never happened, of course. As the adult Dr. Tegmark, now 46, relates in the opening pages of this provocative new book, young Max swerved at the last instant and continued on to school — and an academic career that eventually took him to the … Continue reading If It’s Possible, It Happened

Americans outraged by US back-pedaling of GMO’s labeling

Fernando Kaskais

A GMO labeling battle continues in the United States, with those demanding full disclosure of genetically modified organisms in food products appose big companies. It is widely known that despite the fact some agrochemical giants have recently taken timid steps toward being more upfront with consumers, the United States, unlike some 60 other countries, lacks a legal requirement to label GMOs. A recent New York Times poll found that 93 percent of Americans want GMO food to be labeled. Still, in the US, where almost all soy, sugar beet, corn and canola crops are genetically engineered, bills requiring labeling for … Continue reading Americans outraged by US back-pedaling of GMO’s labeling

Nanoparticles Present In Cosmetics, Sunscreens, Clothing Can Damage DNA: Study

Fernando Kaskais

4/14/2014 A wide range of consumer products contain certain nanoparticles that can harm our DNA, according to a new study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard School of Publich Heath. Manufacturers use nanoparticles to improve texture, kill microbes, or enhance shelf life, etc., in consumer products such as cosmetics, sunscreens and clothing. The researchers looked at five types of engineered, industrially-used nanoparticles – silver, zinc oxide, iron oxide, cerium oxide, and silicon dioxide. These nanoparticles produce free radicals, called reactive oxygen species, that can alter DNA. The zinc oxide nanoparticles often found in sunscreen to block ultraviolet rays, … Continue reading Nanoparticles Present In Cosmetics, Sunscreens, Clothing Can Damage DNA: Study

Fernando Kaskais

by Michael Trei Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Credit: SRI Ventures With obesity rates reaching scary levels, we really need a better way to let people know just how much food they are about to eat. There have been a few photo-based calorie counting apps like Meal Snap for a while, but this new development from SRI Ventures aims to make that process much more accurate. The new app is being developed under the code name Project Ceres and will attempt to correct some of the weaknesses in earlier similar apps. Using a large database of recognized food products, the app will … Continue reading Food-analyzing app tells you how fat you’re about to get
