In their experiments, researchers inserted needles into the jaws of rainbow trout. "In spite of large injections of acid or bee venom, that would cause severe pain to a human, the trout showed remarkably little effect," Jim Rose, professor of zoology...

The drive against polio is considered to be one of the most effective public health campaigns launched in India and has started yielding positive results.

The film opens to introduce Haripool...
