      This news feature about the dangers of fake pharmaceuticals, written by Peter Aldhous during his travels in Asia and complete with investigative reporting, is now part of the Wellcome Trust exhibition on medicine. It's not every day you get to see your colleagues' work under glass as part of an art or museum exhibit! The Wellcome Trust is well worth a visit if you're in London.

      This paper is a test of Uri Geller's self-proclaimed psychic powers. See the PDF for interesting results on transmitting images. This comes from the Dai Davies era (1970s), when Nature threw down the gauntlet to scientists and said they should be able to prove, or disprove, such claims.
