Anastasi said “I winced” when he saw the front, and that his “body is still contorted” from his physical reaction to the headline. He’s spoken to the Breeze’s editors, he said. “They feel terrible and have taken responsibility,” he said. “It should never have happened.” There will be internal discipline, Anastasi said, declining to elaborate. He says the people at the Breeze “work very hard day in and day out to do some terrific journalism.”
About 15 of the young dial painters in Waterbury died from radium poisoning during the 1920s and '30s. Scores of women died later after suffering for years from crumbling bones and rotted jaws. "We were young. We didn't know anything about the paint," Keane said in 2004.

It reported that "almost all" commercially available plastics that were tested leached synthetic estrogens—even when they weren't exposed to conditions known to unlock potentially harmful chemicals, such as the heat of a microwave, the steam of a dishwasher, or the sun's ultraviolet rays. According to Bittner's research, some BPA-free products actually released synthetic estrogens that were more potent than BPA. Estrogen plays a key role in everything from bone growth to ovulation to heart function. Too much or too little, particularly in utero or during early childhood, can alter brain and organ development, leading to disease later in life. Elevated estrogen levels generally increase a woman's risk of breast cancer.

As the world's ice caps melt away, polar humans will find all kinds of things that were previously hidden under sheets of ice. New sailing routes, for one, and probably a pair of keys or two. But a new discovery hints at a future find that's a little more unsettling: A French research team revived a 30,000-year-old giant virus that had been lying dormant in Siberian permafrost. [...] The good news is that Pithovirus was found 30 meters deep in the Siberian permafrost, which means it's unlikely that its peers will escape on their own. But as the Arctic thaws and drilling operations increase, especially in Siberia, so does the possibility that a formerly-frozen pathogen gets loosed upon the world.

J. Craig Venter, the man who raced the U.S. government to sequence the first human genome, has a new goal: Help everyone live to 100, in good health. “Our goal is to make 100-years-old the new 60,” said Peter Diamandis, who co-founded with Venter a company that aims to scan the DNA of as many as 100,000 people a year to create a massive database that will lead to new tests and therapies that can help extend healthy human life spans.
