joadha··on A "cure" for baldness could be around the corner
I generally agree, but: how early in one's life must hair loss occur for it be considered "premature" balding? More importantly, why can't we accept that a man at any age may suffer from anxiety, depression, and/or loss of confidence due to androgenic alopecia?

Also, I think people forget that science is not self-contained: advances in hair loss reversal could lead to discoveries in unrelated fields. Now that we're experimenting with stem cells and the like, the mind reels at the possibilities.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "a gravitational wave has mass (carries mass is more accurate)"? That doesn't fit my understanding of gravitational waves.

Misleading headline. Working from home doesn't necessarily imply the setting of one's own hours.
