  1. Luckily the literature is loaded with astrocyte centered research topics. Take about a solid week to familiarize yourself with the current approaches (try reviews first) and then crank out an idea from there. Glial research is hot right now so this should be fairly easy.
  2. I will invade Iran in an effort to spread democracy and free up some of that precious black gold. Then I will go back to my ranch and cut firewood.
  3. If you wish to continue your education in the sciences I seriously suggest you pile these little beasts into your head...maybe 20 at the least. They are simple to memorize and will serve you well the rest of your career.
  4. I think everyone should give me their money and assest now so I can appropriate them as seen fit by a righteous and mighty god to redeem their souls from the perilous ways they haved lived there lives. If anyone is interested in this sort of redemption before it's too late(2012), you can contact me.
  5. Everyone should have the ability to seeks means to there own demise without moral consequences or rebuke.
  6. Genetic manipulation as done with RNAi or gene therapy is a fantastic ideal. It will allow many individuals with seemingly uncorrectable genetic mutations the opportunity to lead successful, long lives. Selective breeding is a dangerous path to racism and bad science as we have seen in the past. There is a fine line to toe when eugenic policies are considered.
  7. If Avandia has been working to control your diabetes, but you are concerned about the possible cardiovascular side effects talk to your physician about another thiazoliadinedione (Avandia's drug class): Actos (pioglitazone). Studies have shown pioglitazone does not increase incidence of mortality in patients. As a scientist researching pioglitazone, I have found that cardiomegaly was seen in one strain of rodent, however, we did not evaluate cardiophysiology in these animals. That aside, meta-analyses do not show an increased risk of mortality. Most importantly ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN!
