Sally Clark case revisited : another key statistical oversight
The Sally Clark case was notorious for the prosecution’s misuse of statistics in respect of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). In particular, the claim made by Roy Meadows at the original trial – that there was “only 1 in 73 million chance of both children being SIDS victims” – has been thoroughly, and rightly, discredited.

متن کاملNew Australian sauropods shed light on Cretaceous dinosaur palaeobiogeography
Australian dinosaurs have played a rare but controversial role in the debate surrounding the effect of Gondwanan break-up on Cretaceous dinosaur distribution. Major spatiotemporal gaps in the Gondwanan Cretaceous fossil record, coupled with taxon incompleteness, have hindered research on this effect, especially in Australia. Here we report on two new sauropod specimens from the early Late Creta...
متن کاملPPR proteins shed a new light on RNase P biology
A fast growing number of studies identify pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins as major players in gene expression processes. Among them, a subset of PPR proteins called PRORP possesses RNase P activity in several eukaryotes, both in nuclei and organelles. RNase P is the endonucleolytic activity that removes 5' leader sequences from tRNA precursors and is thus essential for translation. Befo...
