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.

When I read a story such as this, a part of my brain lights up like fireworks. I wonder how this study got funding, I wonder why it's considered newsworthy. Did this story really tell us anything new? This is like the idiotic radio news reports that aspirin works to help prevent some new disease or malady. Makes you wonder how much the aspirin lobby has to pay the media to place their product.
File this Krispy Kreme story under "Shared Vices Exploitation." They get us to read a story because it has Krispy Kremes in it, the story has the suggestion of an answer to a question, and then it's over. What a waste.
