...answer is a resounding yes, as evidenced by two groundbreaking papers published on Tuesday. In the journal Cell, Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University reports success in turning back the clock on cheek cells from a middle-aged woman, while James Thomson of University of Wisconsin, the first to isolate human embryonic stem cells, achieved the same feat with foreskin cells from a newborn baby. The achievements completely reset the boundaries of the stem cell debate, because both groups generated cells that looked and acted like embryonic stem cells, but without the need for eggs, embryos or ethical quandaries about where...
...Winthrop House tutor of Portuguese descent, and House Master Mandana Sassanfar, whose family is from Iran, presented the result of the tests as part of a race and diversity event that focused on the “interconnectedness of the human population.” The pair had sent cheek swabs to the Genographic Project, a National Geographic effort that aims to map humanity’s genetic journey through history using patterns of known mutations that differ among populations. The tests traced Castelo-Branco back to Spain, a short hop over the border from his homeland that came...

Red Ivy, an often tongue-in-cheek conservative blog, was started by the Harvard Republican Club in 2004. The College Democrats have a similar blog known as Dem Apples, which contains mainly conservative-bashing articles such as “Ron Paul Still Scares Me.” Current Red Ivy editor Frances I. Martel...
...through a combination of traditional yoga poses, primal grunts, theatrical expressions and lots of laughter. Hagen's facial exercises include the Smiling Fish (purse your lips and smile slightly), the Marilyn (blow kisses while keeping your forehead smooth) and the Satchmo (puff out your face and transfer air from cheek to cheek). Lined up in front of the mirror, their fingers pressed into their foreheads and their tongues lolling, the participants looked deranged, but they seemed to be onto something good. "When we walk in, you can see how tired and stressed out everyone is," says student Kathy Healey...
