Incredible things will happen a half-century from now. We'll have cellular therapies--the use of cells, either genetically engineered or natural--to treat disease. We'll be building organs in cell culture and replacing worn-out or diseased organs. We'll be putting into our bodies adult stem cells that are modified and allow the body to make new kinds of therapeutic agents never made before...
...brain, after all, is only another organ, and it operates on the same biochemical principles as the thyroid or the spleen. What we experience as feelings, good or bad, are at the cellular level no more than a complex interaction of chemicals and electrical activity. Depression represents an imbalance in that interaction, one that can kill just as directly as more obviously physical ailments. Each year in the U.S., an estimated 30,000 people commit suicide, with the vast majority of cases attributable to depression. But depression's physical toll goes far beyond the number of people who take their...
...AskMen.com Top 10 Ring Tones for Your Cellular Phone. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, at No. 10, won praise because, unlike many of the standard high-pitched cell tunes, it "won't scare the bejeezus out of you when your phone rings" --By Julie Rawe
While they ponder New Year’s resolutions about eating right, partying more or picking less dorky friends, we are too preoccupied for such sweeping visions. We might pledge not to forget all the testable material from our classes—no matter how irrelevant cellular automata begin to seem with every hour outside of Cambridge—and we might theorize about how not to waste another reading period without either productivity or pleasure. But we must stay focused, lest we return dangerously distracted...
...past life, Matthew Spotnitz was a Quantum Cellular Automata Architect—for six months at NASA during the year after his high school graduation. (In response to an FM request to clarify what exactly a Quantum Cellular Automata Architect does, Spotnitz answered, “A Quantum Cellular Automata Architect designs circuit patterns with Quantum Cellular Automata.”) “I was surrounded by PhDs at NASA’s JPL [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena,” the chemistry concentrator explains. “And I had only taken AP physics...
