Joining forces to predict tsunamis: Pan-European approach to disaster prevention

Following a series of well documented natural disasters with grave human and economic consequences, the ability to predict these devastating events has once more come to the fore as a research priority for the European scientific community.This, amongst other things, is what leading scientists in ocean margin research came together to discuss at the recent EUROMARGINS conference in Bologna, Italy.

6. A move to full shift-working could spell bad news for the future health of the NHS
   04-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The increase in shift-work among junior doctors could have a detrimental effect on the NHS of the future warns a junior doctor in this week's BMJ. Dr Yasmin Ahmed-Little says if the health problems associated with shift working are not taken into consideration now, there may not be enough trained junior doctors to adequately staff wards when the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) comes into force fully in 2009.
