   04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The "National Survey of Civic and Political Engagement of Young People" compared college students with young people not in college full time. Far from being self-absorbed, college students are civically and politically engaged, and more likely to be so than non-students. Surprisingly, those in both categories are far more likely to be able to name their US representative than the winner of "American Idol."

   Soft drink consumption has increased in both the USA and the UK over the years and this has often been blamed for a rise in childhood body mass index. However, many of the review methodologies investigating the alleged links have been flawed. A recent scientific analysis of a nationally representative sample of children's diets and lifestyles from the Government's National Diet and Nutrition Survey found no link between the amount of soft drinks children consume and their body weight.

   12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at UCSD School of Medicine have identified a genetic regulator of brain development that sheds new light on how immature neural cells choose between proliferation and differentiation. Defects in regulating this choice result in brain malformations. Their research will be published on line the week of December 4, in advance of publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
