...mark of a perhaps unlikely group—diabetics. Scientists at the Cambridge-based Draper laboratories are developing nanoparticle tattoo ink that changes color to indicate glucose levels in the skin. The researchers are aiming to test the ink on mice by the end of the month, said Heather Clark, a member of Draper’s biomedical engineering group. The small tattoos could replace the often painful finger-pricks that diabetics endure up to twelve times a day to monitor their blood glucose levels. The ink is composed of a glucose-detecting molecule, a color changing...

Both his critics and his fans admit he is usually the quickest thinker in even the most rarefied rooms, with a family pedigree that includes two uncles who separately won Nobels for economic science...
...Both Clark and Funk are sympathetic to the department's predicament, pointing out that it couldn't not put out a general alert before such an important event. "In situations like these, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't," says Funk. "On balance, I think it's better to put out this report, and afterward we can have a discussion on how useful...
