I am back from attending the February-scheduled ongoings of the International Year of Chemistry, IYC 2011, as all the chemists and chemical educators are preparing the usual science stuff-------- presentations, seminars, workshops, industrial visits and even short films.

Does anybody remember that film, Mission to Mars? Its a good one. Basically, this band of astronauts tootle off to Mars to find their buddy, against all odds find him and, moreover, find that he seems to be doing just fine by growing tomatoes in a make-shift greenhouse. They then all decide to pop out to see the Face of Mars after he recounts having heard a weird sound near there.

(By the way, there's a bit of a spoiler alert coming, but it is 10 or so years after the film came out, so it's fair game!)



So, moving on, they go to the face and, lo and behold, the face opens, and they step inside.

VIENNA, February 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Who hasn't seen those elderly Hollywood divas with doll-like faces overtightened by facelifts performed with scalpels? Modern stem cell technology is putting an end to that! Stem cell facelifts enable remarkable facial rejuvenation and toning with no scars. Henceforth nobody will ever know that actresses took this royal road to facial rejuvenation.

"Stem cell-assisted facelifts fulfill the wish of many men and women for gentle, subtle procedures with natural results," says DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, Viennese expert in New Cosmetic Surgery and anti-aging. Since 2007, he has been using stem cells to give younger faces and larger breasts to patients from around the world.
