		<description><![CDATA[by Dick Ahlstrom Financial returns from Ireland’s expenditure in research have easily outstripped the original investment, according to a study released on 19 September. It claims that while the Exchequer put in almost €1.2 billion over the period 2000-2006 the returns amounted to about €1.8bn. The study by PA Consulting said that the figure for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, manuscripts have been appearing in the literature that have been suggesting that PVC (Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Chlamydia) bacteria are in many ways like Eukaryotes and consequently, they are an excellent system for understanding eukaryote biology and indeed this group of bugs actually gave rise to modern eukaryotes. This is complete nonsense. [...]]]></description>
