School system favors pupils driven by worry and conscientiousness, Swedish study shows Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:15 AM PST It is well known that children perform differently at school, but how can two children with the same IQ, similar home backgrounds and the same teacher get completely different grades?

Drinking water unexpectedly rich in microbial life Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:14 AM PST Flow cytometry can now be officially used for the quantification of microbial cells in drinking water. The new analytical method provides much more realistic results than the conventional method, in which bacterial colonies are grown on agar plates. The results demonstrate that even good-quality drinking water harbors 100 to 10,000 times more living cells than the conventional plate count method would suggest.
