A spiritual successor to Rachel Carson's seminal eco-polemic Silent Spring, Fruitless Fall walks us through the various theories put forth as causes of CCD -genetically-modified crops, global warming, God's wrath, cellular phones, loss of habitat and a nicotine-like pesticide to name a few. Jacobsen concludes that a return to simpler times - for example, before honey bees were pumped full corn syrup and bred to pollinate monocrops from California to Florida - may be the only answer to the decimation of these vital insects, upon...

Indeed, both Sony Ericsson and its rival, Nokia, are launching services overseas this year (and later in the U.S., my friend says) that would give cell phone users access to the same vast music library, for free. The tunes would be linked to the cellular handsets, but even if you dropped your mobile carrier, you could keep the songs you downloaded...
...percent of the grants it has applied for, according to Broad. Reflecting this success, Broad researchers announced just this week that they had received a six-year $86 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to support research to identify and develop molecular tools to signal pathways and cellular processes crucial to human health and disease. In light of its early and unchallenged success, the Broad Institute will now transition to a permanent non-profit organization, with both Harvard and MIT continuing to help govern it. Lander said that the nature of a permanent endowment will allow for tackling...
