...finding ever more clever ways to generate stem cells. But where other breakthroughs relied on using cells from living embryos - tiny bits of inchoate life, fraught with ethical issues - the work by Yamanaka and Thomson sidesteps that abyss by nursing adult cells into a state in which their cellular destiny is yet to be fulfilled. No embryos, no eggs, no hand-wringing over where the cells come from and whether it is ethical to make them in the first place...

...issue of Nature, activates fluorescent proteins in neurons. The colors then combine to produce an array of more than 100 different shades. The new approach was discovered by a team led by Jeff W. Lichtman and Joshua R. Sanes, both professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology who teach MCB 80, “Neurobiology of Behavior,” in the spring. “Brainbow provides a way of seeing many neurons at the same time in the same place,” said Lichtman, who coined the name for the technique. “With...

...work in a significant way, he wouldn’t attach his name to it,” Berg said of Watson. “In that regard, he’s very ethical.” Robert A. Lue, the executive director of undergraduate education in molecular and cellular biology at Harvard, called for Watson to speak out further. “A lot depends on what Jim Watson does next,” Lue said. “This is an opportunity for him to address the issue directly. One could imagine not just an apology...
