Why grandmothers prefer their son's daughters
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, found that a grandmother's love for her grandchildren is partially rooted in DNA.The Cambridge University scientists concluded that a grandmother shares most genes with her son's daughters – and the least with her son's sons.Applied to the Royal family, it would mean that Prince Andrew's daughter's, Beatrice and Eugenie, should find it easier to please the Queen than Charles's...

Watching television late into the night could make you depressed
Researchers found that too much artificial light at night can alter mood and lead to similar symptoms to depression such as lack of energy and enthusiasm.The team from Ohio State University believe the connection could explain why levels of depression have increased as the use of electric lights have increased.The "blue light" from televisions could be especially disruptive.The psychologists found that mice housed in a lighted room 24 hours a day...

Children Viewing Adult-targeted TV May Become Sexually Active Earlier In Life
Early onset of sexual activity among teens may relate to the amount of adult content children were exposed to during their childhood, according to a new study released by Children's Hospital Boston. Based on a longitudinal study tracking children from age six to eighteen, researchers found that the younger children are exposed to content intended for adults in television and movies, the earlier they become sexually active during adolescence. The...

How Do Our Attitudes About Beauty Change As We Age?

I was deployed to a small air base in the Middle East with the 820th RED HORSE, a group of construction engineers. We were halfway through a six-month...

New 'Molecular Condom' Meant To Prevent AIDS In Women
University of Utah scientists developed a new kind of "molecular condom" to protect women from AIDS in Africa and other impoverished areas. Before sex, women would insert a vaginal gel that turns semisolid in the presence of semen, trapping AIDS virus particles in a microscopic mesh so they can't infect vaginal cells. "The first step in the complicated process of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in a woman is the virus diffusing from...
