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,

We have been told for as long as I have heard about it that 98% of human DNA does not appear to code for protein assemby _and is identical in every viable human being_.
The logical contrapositive of that is that any potential human being in whom this DNA is different is not viable.
Of _course_ it does something.
