Letter to the Editor A full analysis of the many factual errors, dubious claims and non sequiturs in this paper would be a big job. We comment on a few specific errors, and defer the longer discussion needed to address his biophysical theories. Errors include elementary mistakes in electromagnetics. The letter is available from: Foster, […]
The Brussels Regional Government is relaxing radiation norms to allow the roll-out of a new 5G telecommunications network in the Belgian and Flemish capital. “As the capital of Europe Brussels can’t afford to stick behind” the government says. Colin Clapson The radiation norm setting out how much radiation will be permitted is being increased to 14.5 […]

Cell Tissue Res (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-021-03489-6 Abstract Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression, without changing the DNA sequence, and establish cell-type-specific temporal and spatial expression patterns. Alterations of epigenetic marks have been observed in several pathological conditions, including cancer and neurological […]
Since 2019, the night sky — as seen by both human eyes and the telescopes we use to enhance our views of the Universe — has begun to fundamentally change as never before. Previously, only three major obstacles interfered with our views of the Universe: light pollution, brought about by the advance of electrical lighting […]
