In honor of and preparation for Halloween, I imagine, The Science Times section of The New York Times has a few new articles on blood. In "The Wonders of Blood" Natalie Angier examines what makes blood so, well, wonderful:
Yet to scientists who study blood, even the most extravagant blood lore pales in comparison to the biochemical, evolutionary and engineering marvels of the genuine article.If you need something a little more vampiric, you can check out the article on the real vampires of the world, "A Taste for Blood."
. . . Blood is the one tissue that comes into contact with every other tissue of the body, and it is through blood that our disparate parts communicate, through blood that our organs cooperate. Without a circulatory system, there would be no internal civilization, no means of ensuring orderly devotion to the common cause that is us.
You can also listen to these articles in today's Audio Espresso by clicking "NYT Science Times 10-21-08" on the audio player.
And if that's still not enough, you should read my take on "True Blood." It's one of the best and sexiest things going on TV these days.
