		<description><![CDATA[Reports are emerging today from a pilot investigation aimed at giving/restoring sight to the blind. German surgeons claim they have successfully implanted microchips into the eyes of a 45-year old volunteer. The result: he was able to see well enough to find his way around and to read. The work was carried out at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)  in Frederick, Maryland work with various nasty pathogens. They&#8217;re the kinds of bugs which, experts predict, would be likely candidates for biological terrorist attacks &#8211; anthrax, that sort of thing. Well, someone apparently didn&#8217;t follow the rigorous safe-handling procedures correctly, as one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New research is showing scientists how sperm production can be increased or decreased by altering the levels of hormone signaling in the testes. This science is quite clearly a load of balls. Ouch. We&#8217;re sorry about that. Anyway, the work was conducted at The Queen&#8217;s Medical Research Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was headed by [...]]]></description>
