I have seen the first user looking here for the BMJ Christmas edition already 2 weeks ago — clearly the annual highlight in the biomedical world since 2000. But only today, the 2007 issue is being online<\/a>. As a former recumbent owner, I can assure you that Professor Shuster’s observation is correct. Even with my folding bike<\/a> in the Munich S-Bahn I get many responses from the public, usually technical questions by men but also price inquiries by women. I have only doubts about his interpretation of testosterone levels ;-)
\nI also liked the airport security screening study<\/p>\n

\nSince 1969, only 2000 people have died as a result of explosives on planes, yet the US department of homeland security spends more than $500m annually on research and development of programmes to detect explosives at airports … Furthermore, the cost of airport security ($9 per passenger) is 1000 times higher than for railway security ($0.01 per passenger), even though the number of attacks on trains is similar to that in planes\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Risk size has nothing to do with risk perception in particular in some politicians. Nevertheless airport security is definitely good here in Munich. Don’t miss also the marathon<\/p>\n

\nresults for 3 292 268 runners on 750 separate days encompassing about 14 million hours of exercise. There were 26 sudden cardiac deaths observed … Because of road closure, an estimated 46 motor vehicle fatalities were prevented.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So at least from a society view, there is absolutely no risk from running a marathon, yea, yea.<\/p>\n\n
