All prescription drugs need a licence from a regulator to treat a specific condition. But licensed drugs can be prescribed for conditions they haven’t been tested for in a clinical trial. This is known as “off-label” prescribing – and it’s very common. The UK doesn’t have current figures on overall off-label prescribing, but a US study found that one in five prescriptions was off label. It is important to note that off-label medicine use is not the same as experimental use.

Make The Unicameral Civil Again During the summer of 2016 I was doing a talk radio program in Kansas City. You will recall this was the time when the Donald Trump phenomime was really gaining steam. I’ll admit I was and still am perplexed about the attraction to the former President, so I asked my callers to tell me what they saw in him that I wasn’t seeing. One of the answers has stuck with me all these years later.

Some say there are two types of concrete – cracked and on the brink of cracking. But what if when concrete cracked, it could heal itself? We’re part of a team of materials scientists and microbiologists that has harnessed the power of bacteria to create biological fibers that initial results suggest can heal cracks in concrete.
