As an adult, she studied dance at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she began to examine dance through the lens of anthropology. Combining her interests in African culture, dance, and storytelling, she spent a year of her graduate studies doing field research in Kenya...
...eyes, lips, and a nose. Many babies delivered at this point and after are able to survive indefinitely outside the body of the mother.

Lindquist said this indicates healthy prions must have a function that is not essential to the survival of the cell. A post-doc in the lab, Andrew Steele, proposed the study three years ago. Lindquist said Steele became interested in the normal function of prions after noticing high concentrations...
