		<description><![CDATA[Researchers from George Washington University have published in Animal Cognition that monkeys make character judgments based on reputation. In the past research has suggested that primates use eavesdropping and third-party interactions to help judge character, now Dr. Francy&#8217;s Subiaul believes that his work provides further evidence that a primate system exist similar to human social [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A review published in Acta Paediatrica has found that from 1996 to 2002 only 2 percent of 739 children drug trials had independent safety monitoring. Independent safety monitoring gives an unbiased review of the drugs side affects and can determine if a drug trial should be stopped due to unwanted and harmful results. This is particularly important [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As reported yesterday in LiveScience, Mark Briffa, a behavioral ecologist published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that hermit crabs have different personalities. In the past he has examined how they behave in combat and the value they place on a shell. 
Dr. Briffa&#8217;s method for determining a crab&#8217;s personality was to flip crabs upside down and measure how long [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers from the University of Tokyo have announced they have successfully grown kidneys and pancreas in mice missing the ability to grow their own said organs. According to Japan Today, the researchers injected embryonic stem cells from healthy mice into eggs of genetically engineered mice that do not grow kidneys and pancreases three days after fertilization and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times is reporting that patients are submitting to underground genetic testing, but are not informing their doctors of the results because these patients have legitimate fears of insurance discrimination. With recent advancements in technology, companies such as 23andMe and deCODEme have been able to remove the last barrier, cost, for personalized genetic screening. 
The article addresses issues regarding privacy fears, in addition to the use of genetic results [...]]]></description>
