Can Stressed Fathers Pass Along the Results to Kids? Perhaps....

Scientific American has the story:

"Striking evidence that harsh conditions affect a man’s children came from crop failures and war ravaging Europe more than a century ago.

To probe the inheritance of such changes at the cellular level, Bale and co-workers performed a series of mouse experiments."
