		<description><![CDATA[<b>Guest post by Alexis Bonari -</b> Richard Hoover, a scientist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama has published a paper in the Journal of Cosmology claiming to have found the fossilized remains of microbes within a rare meteorite. I’m no biologist, but looking at the pictures of the squiggly little structures he’s found does look like microbes. Certainly his claims have been met with a healthy bit of skepticism, and for good reason, your case needs to be nothing short of bulletproof to prove such a claim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We spend years of our lives feeling overwhelmed by the puny events that take place in it, worrying about problems at work, yesterday's argument with your wife or the piling bills on the kitchen table.

Puny?! Who said they were puny?

Oh... I did?

Well... I meant puny within the greater scheme of things.

We live our short existence trapped in this organic  and perennial carcass only gifted with our "evolved(?!)" minds -which most times are the source of our sorrows-.

When was the last time you took a step back to put things in perspective. How far back did you go?

If you ever need time off from your present, either because your own reality has overloaded you or you simply have the time to do it, take this mental tour to the perspective-most point known to mankind:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A protein was found, that just as a pencil eraser, is able to forever delete traumatic events from our minds. It was discovered by scientists from John Hopkins University through experiments with rats. The results promise to one day fight PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) caused by war, rape and other traumatic events.

The study was published by Science Express, which publishes brealthroughs before they reach their print version in Science Magazine.

In order to verify the validity of the discovery, researchers scared rats with a loud noise and after eliminating the afforementioned protein the rats no longer associated the noise to fear. The rats had forgotten the terror that the sound initially generated.

The protein is located in the amygdala -a group of neural nuclei located in the depth of the temporal lobes of the brain-, an area responsible, among other things, for conditioning to fear both in humans and animals. The study proved that these proteins can be removed from the nerve cells.

The idea is to delete this proteins and weaken the connections with the trauma, erasing the memory itself. This study opens the possiblility of one day manipulating memories with drugs destined to improve cognitive therapies for these type of ailments.

This discovery opens more than a few interrogants and concerns.]]></description>
