Pointyhead Pinnipeds by Britt Peterson

This little article touches on a New York Times article that suggests that some animals are more "worth saving" than others. Peterson notes that the Walrus depends on the icecaps for its yearly routine and the species would be devastated by the effects of global warming, just as the Polar Bear would be. Unfortunately, people seem to care a little more about the saving the Polar Bear than its less cute-and-cuddly arctic neighbor, the Walrus.

The HIV Morning-After Pill by Justine Sharrock

This article talks about the injection PEP that, if given immediately after infection, can negate the effects of HIV. Health care providers say that in order for the treatment to be effective, the possible infection of HIV needs to be treated like a gunshot wound - as soon as humanly possible. The vast majority of the people in need of the injection don't even know it exists because it has received very little advertising in any medium. Many health facilities do not even offer the PEP shot, which has many people who need the drug outraged.
