Top scientists to further research at A*Star

Kids, aren't you proud of this? Your country will be having the pioneers for research and developments! Perhaps, one day, you will be working with these guys to create something monumental...
----------

TOP scientists David and Birgit Lane are set to further their research at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) when they resume their appointments in September.

Currently A*Star’s chief scientist, Prof David Lane will continue to advise and facilitate scientific development across the Biomedical Research and the Scientific Engineering Research Council.

As one of the four scientists who discovered the tumour suppressor gene — p53 — in 1979, he also runs a research lab in A*Star’s Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, focusing on research on p53 using both mammalian and zebrafish systems.

Prof Birgit Lane will resume her full-time role as executive director of A*Star’s Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) which she helped to establish and has been helming since 2007. Known internationally for her work on keratins, she plans to continue expanding IMB’s research portfolio in cancer epithelial and stem cell biology and bring research and clinical sciences closer.

Both scientists were at A*Star while on sabbatical from the University of Dundee. Their contracts are for five years. ESTHER NG

A Body Massage to Gain Height
Having a full body massage helps relieve stress and remove the hard and tough muscles in your body that seemed to have stiffened due to too much pressure. While being massaged, the body undergoes a certain relaxed state, helping a person loosen up his muscles and bones.
A full body massage helps increase height, whatever your age may be. Not only are tight muscles relieved during a session of massage, it also exercises the bones and stretches them. Have you ever noticed that whenever you are being massaged, some of your bones seem to pop and you are relieved and relaxed?
Some gaps between bones are not being filled up with the right amount of fluid that is should contain to work properly. This is caused by stress and an unhealthy diet. A small person that starts practicing a balanced diet, the right amount of sleep, exercise and regular massage therapies, he should expect to grow taller in a matter of weeks.

Massaging also helps improve posture, which is enough to increase an inch or two on top of your actual height. Many people have become used to standing in a humped style that they do not recognize the adverse effects of such. Height is not the only one directly affected by mal-posture. Several spinal column problems have aroused from employing the wrong posture. Such instances include scoliosis and lumbago.
Many experts actually recommend massaging so that the body will not be totally shocked with the growth enhancing methods that a person goes through to gain some height. One good growth enhancer is the Growth Flex V Pro System. Here you can visit, if you need to know in details, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
