Free advertising. Often used by companies to attract investors, and by universities to attract donors. Note that useful *results* or conclusions aren't given.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well yes Bill we expect that of *anything* we read in the media. There is research bias and *gasp* reporting bias .. Most folks here have the intelligence to recognize the deficits in any reporting and those that are curious enough will go digging for more. We have the wherewithal to fill in the blanks We always appreciate when and other members post these articles .. just another piece of the puzzle which time will prove whether it fits, or not, and I prefer to *know* *all* the pieces. - Helen > > Population Genetics, Cambridge University to study genetic causes of Asperger Syndrome > > > > http://www.expresspharmaonline.com/index.php/latest-updates/717-population-genet\ ics-cambridge-university-to-study-genetic-causes-of-asperger-syndrome > > Typical " Town/Gown " media posturing - a ploy to attract attention to > themselves.
