It was refreshing to see us in the headlines on GoogleNews / cnn.com twice this week.

One for a medical research team figuring out why donated blood doesn't seem to be as effective and what to do about it, and the other coming up with a decent explanation of the appendix's purpose finally.

Blood: http://www.reuters.com/article/health-SP-A/idUSN0835615320071009
Appendix: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/84937.php

Congratulations to both teams!

Excellent indeed. Kind of diminishes the sadness that a UNC researcher won a Nobel this week. :D
