Science!

This week's Human Nature brings us the following news:

  • A drug has been developed that combats the effects of sleep deprivation.
  • The tallest country in the world has hit a plateau. Will humans stop growing?
  • Some commercial airliners will be equipped with lasers to prevent terrorist shoot downs.
  • Violent movies reduce crime because violent people watch them and, when they're watching movies, aren't committing violent crimes.
  • Scientists have developed a vaccine for cocaine. It blocks the high and sends the immune system in to attack the drug. Vaccines for other drugs in the works.
