I could use this in my wardrobe 2 weeks of the year. I kid, I kid about the 2 weeks. The idea is great, not so sure I would look good in spandex.

In a potentially huge development for fashion in tropical countries, an entomologist has come up with a Spandex-polyester weave that’s impermeable to the proboscis of the mosquito.

Mosquitos hospitalize hundreds of thousands every year in the tropics by spreading malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and West Nile virus, and every major proposed solution has failed to alleviate these burdens to any degree that can’t be obtained with a simple mosquito net over someone’s bed.

Well done officers! Well done indeed. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

ICSO Deputies Use Life-Saving Efforts To Save Infant

Ingham County Sheriff's deputies used life-saving CPR on an two-month-old baby who was not breathing when they arrived on the scene.

Science is never settled. If it was this individual would not be another: Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A pair of implants forming a digital bridge between the brain and the spinal cord has enabled a 'test pilot' patient to better stand and walk again, showing promise for an innovation that could one day transform the lives of individuals with paralysis.

Led by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), the investigation involved a 40-year-old man named Gert-Jan, who had been paralyzed by a biking accident over a decade ago.

Gert-Jan had previously regained some ability to walk with the help of a front-wheel walker. For the three years before enrolling in the latest test though, he had reached a "neurological recovery plateau".
