Regarding the scientist killed on Crete: I have to wonder if her research provided someone with a motive to either kill her because of her work or to kill her to scare her husband.
I'm posting screen caps of the wikipedia information from today. Plus (thanks to a tip from another anon) information about a connection between what either the scientist or her husband were studying.

Do microtubules have anything to do with consciousness and quantum mechanics? I don't know enough to answer this question, but I think it very likely that our consciousness and spiritual dimensions are related to quantum mechanical phenomena.
Was something one or both of the scientist were studying a motive for murder. I can't answer that either, but I must admit I look at news reports like this much more critically than I used to. A woman named Katerina Karkala-Zormpa is apparently caring for the family of the victim.
