- 17 Babies are Stillborn or Die Shortly After Birth Every Day in the UK

- With Photo

Every hour and half in the UK a baby is stillborn or dies shortly after birth. That's 17 babies every day. There are strong indications that significant numbers of these 17 deaths could be avoided and babies' lives saved.

A report, Saving Babies' Lives Report 2009, published today (4 March) by Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, backed up by new research, highlights several problem areas that are contributing to this level of baby loss, the long-lasting impact of these deaths, and recommends changes that could save babies' lives.

Carl Zimmer discusses his piece in Science. It’s about the 2005 discovery of potential blood vessels from none other than T-Rex.  The trouble is that now there are a few scientists who aren’t all that convinced, instead saying that the vessels are in fact just a bunch of bacterial goo!

That’s all fine and dandy, but what I liked was this comment by one of the original authors, Mary Schweitzer

I am not a gambler, except when it comes to my own life. I'm referring to my astronaut application a few years back. I was not happy the selection committee was happy for me being pregnant and used that as an excuse to not allow any further tests on me. I will forever hate that committee; but I love my son.
