Sobriquet 27.2: German Scientist Develops "Anti-Stupidity Pill"
According to a brief article in Reuters:
A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported Saturday.
It said Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, has tested a pill thwarting hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve attentiveness.
Bear in mind the fact that Bild is a tabloid newspaper ("Die Strand Diat" and a naked woman feature prominently today's homepage), so the information might best be taken with a grain of salt. Plus, the Reuters story is really the only English coverage currently available; other sources just reprint the Reuters article.
Still...
Anti-stupidity.
