And of course the other, more important debate, happening outside of the rarefied halls of the science establishment is whether in these difficult economic times the largeinjection of funding for science can continue.
Study co-author Geoffrey Abers of Columbia University said that "there's something important about getting unexpectedly large earthquakes out of small systems that we have discovered here, " adding that "the risk of humans inducing large earthquakes from even small injection activities is probably higher" than had been believed.
The large differences observed in unconjugated BPA levels between injection and oral exposures were qualitatively and quantitatively similar to what we previously reported in male and non-pregnant female monkeys, adult male and female rats, and adult male and female mice.
In Arkansas, known for the rich Fayettevile Shale reserve, a drilling moratorium on new injection wells has been established as scientists believe that the large number of earthquakes recorded in the region may been a result of fracking.
