Late at night, working feverishly to climb out of the abyss that is my current life, I skim my Google Alerts and stumble upon this gem:

JUNIPER!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incidentally, in case you care, my categorized blogroll no longer necessarily represents a ranking of my favorite blogs. I'm just, you know, trying to make a science blog. For realsies. That is all my own.

At least people are also developing gene therapy for cystic fibrosis and HIV. Here are just two examples of numerous bulletins on this kind of research:
