Oh, boy, we’ve been waiting for this. Today the New York Times reported that the Center for Biotechnology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook did experiments where they had mice stand on platforms that buzz at a low frequency for 15 minutes a day, five days a week. After this treatment, the mice not only had 27 percent less fat than the control mice, but they also had more bone mass. Also, scientists have discovered that a stem cell in bone marrow can morph into either fat or bone, depending which signal it receives. During the next round of office furniture purchasing at the Mudd, it’s buzzing chairs for everyone!
