With astonishing speed and obsessiveness, Blumenthal created a circle of foodie physicists and chemists and applied their wisdom to the kitchen. Barham exposed him to lab-equipment catalogs. Tom Coultate, a retired food biochemist from South Bank University, explained advanced gelling agents (used in the restaurant's tea, almond and quail jellies). Anthony Blake, a vice president of Firmenich, a Swiss fragrance and flavor company, was most influential. "The first time I went to Geneva," says Blumenthal, "Tony showed me thousands of flavor molecules and extracts in little jars. I was in heaven...
...study began when Elissa Epel, a psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, asked her colleague Elizabeth Blackburn, a biochemist, whether anyone really knew why people under stress look haggard and old. "I told her, 'Nobody has any idea,'" recalls Blackburn. "And then I said, 'Let's have a look.'" They gathered a team of psychologists and biologists and recruited 58 women ranging in age from 20 to 50. Thirty-nine of the women were the primary caregivers for a child chronically ill with cerebral palsy, autism or some other serious disorder; the rest had healthy kids. The researchers...
...those virus samples and use further tests to figure out which viral gene has been affected by which chemical. "If we discover that interfering with a certain gene stops the virus from replicating, then we know that gene's function likely has to do with replication," says Kao, a biochemist who brought his passion for chemical genetics to HKU from Harvard University, where the process was first pioneered in the early 1990s...
Most Darwinists have not read or considered biochemist Michael Behe, geneticist Michael Denton, embryologist Jonathan Wells, or information theorist William Dembski. These dissenting voices are systematically marginalized and silenced by academic McCarthyism...
...information," they didn't have a clue what a gene actually is. And with far more self-assurance than a newly minted 22-year-old Ph.D. had any right to possess, Watson decided he would figure it out. His first stop was Copenhagen for a postdoctoral fellowship with the biochemist Herman Kalckar, who was studying DNA's chemical properties. The fellowship ended in a hurry. "Herman," writes Watson in The Double Helix, "did not stimulate me in the slightest." Even worse, he decided Kalckar's research would not immediately lead to an understanding of the gene...
