Science Cheerleader

Here’s a piece I wrote for Discover Magazine.com yesterday about a pharmaceutical ice cream–called ReCharge–New Zealand is producing to counter side effects of chemotherapy. I learned about this in The Scientist. The most important ingredient: Lactoferrin, a protein found in milk that possesses the power to impede tumor growth and improve intestinal immune response. Wow.

Today, readers of The Scientist magazine found something new in their journal: a picture of Penn and Teller and cheerleaders!  Hot off the press, here’s an article The Scientist ran about the Science Cheerleader’s push to restore federal science policy to its rightful place.
