However, Morrison added that, "It would be wise for children and pregnant women to stay away from artificial sweeteners," since risks may be larger for these groups.
Thomas McMahon, McKay Professor of Applied Engineering and author of McKay's Bees, and his research assistant Peter Greene specialize in biomechanics, a newly invented scientific method which unites biology and engineering. Constructing synthetic models of limbs, eyes and other body parts, the pair attempt to solve medical problems by...
Their latest toy is an artificial eye. Though McMahon and Greene are just starting to apply biomechanics to myopia, its potentials alone signify a major advance. The field has long been what Greene calls a "thicket of controversy." No study has conclusively settled the origins of myopia, nor how much...
