DOI: 10.1080/00140139.2019.1629637
Abstract: Abstract Three computer-based experiments were conducted to examine whether disfluent format, enhanced text, and increased exposure time improve the accuracy of visual differentiation and recognition memory of look-alike drug names. A three-way, repeated-measures look-alike drug… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsre/fux038
Abstract: The discovery that all living entities express many RNAs beyond mRNAs, tRNAs and rRNAs has been a surprise in the past two decades. In fact, regulatory RNAs (regRNAs) are plentiful, and we report stunning parallels… read more here.
