Men who conform to traditional gender roles are at a higher risk of suicide

Bern (ots) - Men commit suicide much more often than women. Those who want to live up to the traditional male image of strength and independence are particularly at risk.

Animal experiments: SNSF warns of consequences of a ban

Bern (ots) - The popular initiative in favour of banning animal experiments would significantly weaken Switzerland as a centre of research.

Full-time employees face higher risk of cancer

Bern (ots) - Working at 100% is linked to a higher incidence of the disease, according to an SNSF-funded study. Self-employed men and women who stay at home fared best, but the explanation is not as straightforward as it might seem.

The exact mechanism behind this is not yet fully understood. It is well known that more and more plastic waste is ending up in soil and bodies of water. Researchers are particularly concerned about tiny micro- and nano-sized particles. ...
