It’s Friday. Here’s some sweet linkage to check out over the weekend:
- io9 asks if vat-grown meat is kosher. I would think yes, but they consult a rabbi who gives a more nuanced answer.
- Boing Boing notes the doctor who created the “MMR vaccine scare” could lose his license. Good riddance to bad researchers.
- Climate change experts explore the possibility of geoengineering to curb global warming. While the proposals are huge in scope, they’re far cheaper than actually cutting emissions.
- Grab the garlic and wooden stakes. Researchers find “young blood reverses signs of aging” – in old mice.
- Amidst a lot of positive research on vitamin D comes a study showing that the vitamin may play a positive role in protecting against Crohn’s disease, a fairly debilitating autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the gut.
