2003: The year in space and astronomy
2003: The year in biology and medicine
2003: the year in technology
Top ten stories of 2003:
1. Horrific venereal disease strikes African baboons - And the top story of the year for readers suggests that diseases of the reproductive organs are an extremely popular topic. It disclosed details of a mysterious and horrific venereal disease spreading among east African baboons. The consequences for male baboons are particularly gruesome, according to Elibariki Mtui, of the African Wildlife Foundation in Arusha, Tanzania. He told New Scientist: "The genitals kind of rot away, then they just drop off."
4. World's first brain prosthesis revealed - The fourth most popular news article published this year revealed an extraordinary solution to treating brain damage. Researchers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles developed the first brain prosthesis designed to replace the hippocampus - part of the brain used to store memories. The ethical implications of replacing part of the brain were not lost on scientists. But Joel Anderson, an ethicist at Washington University in St Louis pointed out: "Initially people thought heart transplants were an abomination because they assumed that having the heart you were born with was an important part of who you are." |

P.S.(update) Но вообще-то я собирался написать от том,
что если бы у меня была возможность исправить
одну-единственную вещь в Америке,
то это была бы система школьного образования. |
