Heller doubted this explanation, suspected that the microwaves had somehow fatally altered the body's cells. To find out, he began experimenting with lower-powered radio waves at the New England Institute for Medical Research in Ridgefield, Conn. Last week in Britain's Nature, he and Dr. A. A.

But Biologist Fredine reports that a study being conducted on Lake Superior's Isle Royale by the Park Service and Purdue University shows that wolves serve a useful purpose in the balance of nature...
...Tree's hero Harry Wesley is an English Nobel-prizewinning biologist with a yen to help humanity. His secret weapon is desoxyribonucleic acid.

Biologist Huxley called it absurd that in India's second five-year plan $14 million is being spent on malaria control, which "will certainly increase population, as against the $10 million for all measures that will reduce it. The balancing of death control by birth control is a matter...
