Wearable Bacteria, Fecal Enemas, and Matching Lesbians

Sharing bacteria

I would imagine that all members of a household share more or less the same "germspace." In heterosexaul relationships, there are farm wives that can't get rid of those nagging vaginal infections until their husbands stop boinking the livestock.

Thinking Harder

This blog is the public workshop of U.S. News writer and editor Ben Harder. In articles published in the magazine, he has covered a range of sciences, including medicine, human behavior, prehistory, and evolution. Here, he can explore those and other scientific fields more fully and more informally than is possible in print. He'll share whatever seems noteworthy or potentially useful, and he invites readers to do the same.

WTOP Audio
On Feb. 24, 2008, Ben discussed the link between artificial light and cancer on WTOP radio. Listen to the interview at WTOP News. He again talked about light pollution on WTOP on March 22, exploring its environmental effects.
