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

Do you know what else is used to treat cancer? Mostly poisons. If you took most chemotherapy drugs recreationaly, you'd probably be dead in a few years. I'm all for legalizing marijuana, but this is NOT the reason to do it. Please stop giving pot lovers a bad name by spouting this as proof it should be legalized. Or any of that "it grows in the ground" BS. So do thousands of things that kill you.
