Suckers! Poet and Parasite...

It seems that parasites don't just fire up the imaginations of Scientists. Radio 4 have an interesting programme called Suckers! Poet and Parasite "Parasites are not an obvious subject matter for poetry, but in fact there are a surprising number of poems about these miniature blood-suckers. From Donne's 'The Flea', to Rimbaud's 'Lice Hunters' and D.H. Lawrence's 'Mosquito', it seems that a number of prominent poets have been fascinated by the notion of blood-sucking and by the uncomfortable relationship between man and parasite."

Why not have a listen!

World TB Day 2010

Today is world TB day, which as the official website describes:
"is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of several million people each year, mostly in the third world. March 24th commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus. At the time of Koch's announcement in Berlin, TB was raging through Europe and the Americas, causing the death of one out of every seven people. Koch's discovery opened the way toward diagnosing and curing TB."
Their blog has news of activities.

Recycling Portable Batteries

LSTM has now joined a battery back scheme for recycling portable batteries.

The first container to place the batteries in has been put in the original building in the old reception corridor.

Only waste portable batteries should be placed into the Battery Cans provided

• Batteries should be kept dry

• The Battery Cans are suitable for all types of portable batteries

Examples of a portable battery include:

• The AA—AAA—C or D sized batteries used to power a torch or portable CD player or minidisk player, or the AA or AAA batteries used to power a remote control that may accompany appliances such as televisions and DVD players.

• The battery used to power a portable MP3 player.

• The battery used to power a laptop or mobile phone.

• The button cell fixed to the motherboard of a personal computer or laptop, or used to power a wristwatch.

Safety Information

Some batteries contain hazardous materials such as Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Lithium (Li) and Mercury (Hg).

Although these are hazardous to the environment and can be dangerous to health, batteries are safe if handled correctly. Please follow these simple instructions;

· Do not break open batteries.

· Do not allow batteries to get wet or place wet batteries in the container

· Do not expose batteries to excessive heat or fire. Batteries may explode in fire releasing toxic fumes

· Do not mix dry batteries (sealed) with wet batteries (unsealed, such as lead acid).

· Never use steel containers for storage. These can cause batteries to short out, always use properly labelled plastic containers provided.
Always follow the instructions provided to ensure portable batteries are safe to handle.

All safety information in relation to this scheme will be available on the intranet in due course.
