Also, given whatsapp's security track record it should raise some eyebrows.
Offtopic: I actually went and RFTA (Hello! I'm new here) and found the picture in it rather interesting.

Within 8 weeks or less, 18 out of 20 participants saw a complete resolution of diarrhea after consuming 30 or 60 of the feces-filled capsules.
No wonder they have such a small sample. After the informed consent form I'm sure lots of people told the researchers to gtfo.
Also, could an MD please provide the usual time frame in which diarrhea runs its course? 8 weeks being an improvement sounds just weird.

On a more serious note, I've always found very disturbing the whole ssex-criminal-he's-fucked-for-life kind of way that Americans deal with it. Sure, a rapist should be thrown in pound-in-the-ass federal prison forever, but when the current law can screw forever an 18 year old guy who has sex with a 17 year old, something is wrong with it.
It also seems kind of backwards that when she did not distribute (IANAnAmericanLawyer) wilfully the material, she could be (probably would if she weren't a celebrity) be registered as a sex offender forever. Seems like a pretty ugly blame-the-victim case.

Rather than persuading, scientists may better serve citizens by discussing, teaching and sharing information to convey trustworthy intentions.'"
So, the study calls for presenters rather than scientists? It is difficult to find balance, but I'm inclined to think that scents should just do the science, and they'd better be well left alone. It's up to the (gasp!) media or to their institution's press department to sensibilise the public in general to the science being done and what it means.
