About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.Recommended

I should add that when I have gas to burp out, leaning to the left helps keep acid from getting into the esophagus, because for the same reason, the opening of the stomach becomes elevated with regard to most of the rest of it. If lying down at the time, I raise up on my left elbow. If standing or sitting, I just lean to the left. It also helps to tap the middle of the ribcage with my fist similarly to what people have done for babies.
