    Saw this article and thought it was cool how you can use microbiology in the culinary world. Pretty awesome how some chefs desire to look into science to create signature flavors.

    Neat find, Charlie! I have thought that someone should take a more scientific approach to these "culinary microbes".

  • which he described as "in excellent shape"
  • "Seeing urine and feces sloshing in the halls, sleeping on the floor, nothing to eat, people fighting over food, $500? What's the emotional cost? You can't put money on that," Poret said.

      Looks like there's a difference of opinion.
  • decided to add further payment of $500 a person to help compensate passengers for "very challenging circumstances" aboard the ship.

    A small compensation of 500$ for an inconvenience. I find it interesting that they can put a dollar amount on this. If I were these people I would be more concerned about my health than a measly 500$

  • A new study finds that such transplants cured 15 of 16 people who had recurring infections with Clostridium difficile bacteria, whereas antibiotics cured only 3 of 13 and 4 of 13 patients in two comparison groups.

    I didn't know this was even possible. I wonder how they convinced people to donate. "The donors were tested for an array of diseases to make sure they did not infect the patients." I wonder how extensive that panel was and what they tested for.
  • Casey Finnerty on 17 Jan 13
     
    Isn't this neat? I have met people who are hoping to get this treatment. Re: the screening, I think it is probably just for the absence of pathogens. As the article states, we really don't know what the "good" bacteria are that help these patients.
  • anonymous on 18 Jan 13
     
    RE: I would hope that they would check for things like HIV and other blood to blood transmitted diseases. If there was a bleed in the GI tract of both the donor and the patient, I could imagine it would be a problem.
