Max Planck scientists criticize handling of animal-rights charges against leading neuroscientist

Animal rights terrorists: what every neuroscientist should know.

Introduction The disgraceful, illegal, and immoral tactics used by animal rights activists to forward their agenda have led to the federal government labeling them as domestic terrorists, a very well deserved categorical name. The types of terrorism engendered by these groups are varied, but most recently their most violent and troublesome acts have occurred at the homes of neuro-scientists. Dr...

In this paper we consider the question of determining the geometric genera of irreducible curves lying on a very general surface S of degree d > 5 in P (the cases d 6 4 are well known). For any d > 4 we introduce the set Gaps(d) of all non–negative integers which are not realized as geometric genera of irreducible curves on a very general surface of degree d in P. We prove that Gaps(d) is finit...

We present a two-sorted algebra, called a Peirce algebra, of relations and sets interacting with each other. In a Peirce algebra, sets can combine with each other as in a Boolean algebra, relations can combine with each other as in a relation algebra, and in addition we have both a relationforming operator on sets (the Peirce product of Boolean modules) and a set-forming operator on relations (...

in the planning of experiments. " We need to develop ways of better training researchers in methodology to avoid this, " he said. Sir David Weatherall, founding director of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at Oxford University, said: " For medicine it's a way of life to be supported by the pharmaceutical industry. If you've been looked after by these people, unconscious bias is da...
