Oh man, I can confirm this. I had to take a course of SSRI's last year and my gut-mind was so relaxed and happy on them that I completely lost the sensation of hunger. It was . . . odd. I had to set timers to remember to eat.

The Australian Innovation Patent isn't really a patent. When an application is filed a formalities check is completed, but no prior art search is conducted. Also, the inventor and assignee of an AIP can't litigate. If one wanted to, the Aus

What I'd be very interested in knowing is how many people have decided to get print subscriptions because of the paywall. Doesn't it seem like the digital offerings are priced so that readers who want to become subscribers will choose a com
