Previously, parents were told SIDS could be prevented if they took proper precautions: laying babies on their backs, not letting them overheat and keeping all toys and blankets out of the crib were a few of the most important preventative steps. So, when SIDS still occurred, parents were left with immense guilt, wondering if they could have prevented their baby’s death.
Dr. Carmel Harrington, the lead researcher for the study, was one of these parents. Her son unexpectedly and suddenly died as an infant 29 years ago. (…) Harrington explained what she was told about the cause of her child’s death.
“Nobody could tell me. They just said it’s a tragedy. But it was a tragedy that didn’t sit well with my scientific brain.”
Since then, she’s worked to find the cause of SIDS, both for herself and for the medical community as a whole. She went on to explain why this discovery is so important for parents whose babies suffered from SIDS.
"These families can now live with the knowledge that this was not their fault,” she said.
(…) As the cause is now known, researchers can turn their attention to a solution. In the next few years, those in the medical community who have studied SIDS will likely work on a screening test to identify babies who are at risk for SIDS and hopefully prevent it altogether.
So what did y'all think of @startrekcbs #Discovery last night?!?!? I’m so excited to see what everyone thinks. Since we’d already seen it, J and I spent the evening popping over to #vasquezrocks take some pretty photos of our #Sarek inspired fashion look

Everyone wants to be
A shade of gold and silver
While I would rather have
A heart that is opaque
I want when you look at me
To see the faint outline of what is inside
So your brain has to decode
The fuzzy image that lays behind
I’ll show you if you ask,
But first I want you to see
That there is more on the inside
Then what is clear to see
Mission to Europa
Scientist Steven Squyres is given a “blank check” and asked how he would direct the exploration of the Jovian satellite, Europa. Observations of the moon lead scientists to believe that there is a liquid water ocean underneath miles of ice. Coupled with the discovery of organisms thriving around geothermal vents deep within our own seas, many scientists are eager to look beneath the surface of Europa for signs of extraterrestrial life.
Performing his own in-space version of “look, Ma, no hands” is STS-119 Mission Specialist Joseph Acaba. The shuttle version of the bike, deployed here on Discovery’s mid deck, is called the ergometer and is one device that provides astronauts a chance to exercise while in space.
