Died. Dr. Ross Granville Harrison, 89, spare, retiring biologist who pioneered (1907) in growing cells independent of the organism from which they were taken, stimulated a pupil, Dr. John Enders, to use the same tissue-culture method to grow a polio virus (1949) that led to the Salk vaccine, taught biology and zoology (1907-38) at Yale; in New Haven, Conn...

Chief sea-serpent man is Biologist John D. Isaacs, who is working out ways to catch the inhabitants of the depths of the ocean. One under study is a disk several hundred feet in diameter, with floats around the edge and ballast in the center. When it reaches a predetermined depth, the ballast will be detached, and the floats will pull the net upward. As it rises, it will inflate with water just as a parachute inflates with air, scooping up any giant squid and sea serpents...

Strapping son Albert inherited the artistic bent, went to Paris to study painting, grew the inevitable beard, married an aspiring American painter named Adele McGinnis, stayed on in Paris as a bohemian expatriate for several...
...test this theory, Canadian Biologist William F. Baldwin chose one of the world's least attractive creatures: a sharp-beaked "kissing bug" (Rhodinus prolixits], a tiny (½ in. long) brown resident of South America that lives on blood and sometimes sucks at human lips. Dr. Baldwin, a radiation specialist at Atomic Energy of Canada's remote biology laboratory in Chalk River, Ont., went to work on the bug because it signals visually when its cells are dividing: they divide only when Rhodinus needs to grow a new coat. This process occurs after the bug is newly gorged with...
