Riding to the Storm: Behind the Scenes Hassles of Stem Cell Research Funding
When my paralyzed son Roman Reed told me, he was going on a little trip, I said, "Oh, that's nice!", and went on with my chores. I figured he meant a couple-hour jaunt from Fremont to Sacramento, something like that, no big deal.

The Real-Life Ghostbusters of the Brain
This article was originally posted on Inverse.

"In a sense, we are absolutely the ghosts we are sensing," Giulio Rognini, Ph.D., a senior scientist at EPFL's Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, says.
Rognini is part of a team of researchers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne that might be best described as the real-life ghostbusters. The team is attempting to understand what makes our brains want to believe that apparitions are ghosts.
While he's more than willing to admit that ghostly sensations are completely real, he'll be the first to point out that they're not actually ca...
