about what? It was an article in New Scientist about 3 weeks ago. Presumably you do have a clue? Judging from your subscription to the 'Labyrinth of the Psyconaught' and its occult content, I suppose you don't.

Gadolinium. I read that there are people who are attaching Gadolinium to cocaine molecules in order to visualise where in the brain cocaine goes, by using its MRI properties. Any voulenteers for that research?

This element was founded by a Finnish chemist called Johan Gadolin, so the element's name is based on his.

Gadolinium? Does that mean it's really big?

You can't get rid of an accent. You simply replace it with another.

[Tuuliska]

Accents are a precious part of our heritage, and a treasure from cultural, linguistic and historical perspective. Not to mention an important part of many people's identities. Don't get rid of them.

Judging accents is silly anyway, it's so subjective. Calling your own lame is just basically saying "I'm ashamed of my roots and would rather pretend I was from a fancier/cooler area". Yeah, it's natural but it's about time we got rid of such ancient ideas, which are really about class anyway.

actually.... where i went to university, a 22yo might well be using isotopes in medical applications since a person usually graduates with their BSc (Hons) at 21yo, and can go into either working as an assistant physicist in a medical physics & clinical engineering department, or straight into a course leading to an MSc in medical physics & clinical engineering.the MSc is a 12 month course and students are introduced to - and get to use - substances used in nuclear medicine (such as Tc99m).

Not to minimize the MRI uses, but surely one of its most amazing properties is that it's the only metal (apart from Iron, nickel and cobalt) which is ferromagnetic at (lowish) room temperature...

I think promethium is the only radioactive "rare earth" but maybe there is an isotope or something.

first heard of gadolinium on house.
