One week at uni our homework was to find example of the bad use of science, whether in reporting ro advertising. I think you'd have really enjoyed that session :)
Am interested by your posts on immune system responses. I did some work on dyslexia in a group whose research focus was the possibility that faulty immune reponses during pregnancy could lead to dyslexia. All related to speed of neuronal transmission in under-myelinated neurons, went the theory.
Hmm. will have to read the dyslexia stuff when my brain is less overheated. I went to uni at Sheffield where all teh dyslexia research was based on cerebellar deficiencies, which means we spent alot of time getting people to stand on one leg and count backwards and recording how fast they fell over.
The make-up I stole from magic_in_makeup community, but back when i had rather more time on my hands it is the sort of thing I could/would do.
