Czechoslovak scientists have now developed a technique for using hormone-like chemicals to attack one species of bug at a time. Working with DMF, a synthesized chemical compound that acts like a juvenile hormone, a Prague team under Biologist Karel Sláma discovered that it took just one microgram (a millionth of a gram) to sterilize for life a female linden-bug. They also found that a dose as much as 10,000 times the amount of DMF required to produce sterility would cause no other harmful effects. So they figured that a male linden-bug treated with...
Baby Mine! The obligation to be clever in some way came as a birthright-rather reverently if hastily tracked through three generations by Family Biographer Ronald Clark. Above Aldous' cradle brooded the example of his grandfather, T. H. Huxley, a brilliant biologist and a public defender of Darwin when Origin of Species was shocking fundamentalists. Representing a kind of caretaker generation, Aldous' father Leonard devoted most of his life to a two-volume biography reciting the achievements of T.H. and looking forward with confidence to his own chil dren's outdoing him. No one is quite sure...
...chances are that he meant this ominous burden for both. Julian obliged by becoming a distinguished biologist and scientific humanist. Aldous came equipped to be clever: his head was so big it kept him from walking until he was two. By the age of nine, he already struck others as "aloof and secretly critical...
...discusses whether or not Jesus was a coward, a martyr, a proselytist, a bigot, a communist, an economist, a biologist, and other things. he argues his view of the apostle Paul as "a man of genius" but "violently anti-Christian." He presents discussions of free will, marriage, sex, celibacy, miracles, baptism, immortality, and hell. And he winds up with his reasons for believing that Jesus was "a thorough-going ant-Clerical...
...world like an outsize example of abstract sculpture. In fact, it was a precise piece of technical art. It was a model of the hemoglobin molecule, the vital constituent of blood corpuscles, and it was the result of nearly 30 years of effort by Cambridge University Molecular Biologist Max Perutz...
