A Proud Graduate

I heard on the news this morning (NPR or WOAI, I can't remember which I was listening to) that a researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia (the university at which I chose to pursue my Master's Degree), just came out with findings that removing a band-aid quickly is less painful than removing it slowly. Ah, the wonderful research that takes place. I'm sure this finding will change the world (can you see my tongue in my cheek?).

Is it interesting just to find these things out scientifically? Why do people study things of little to no significance when diseases like cancer and HIV still need better treatments? Just wondering.
