...Antenna aquiver for false notes, she checks in at the abortion clinic and doesn't like its casually clinical attitude. This kid can hear false notes pitched too high for most human ears to discern. So she checks out the alternative press and finds an ad placed by a couple seeking adoption. The Lorings (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) are rich, welcoming and ostensibly eager for the fulfillment their biology has denied them. OK, she's a little uptight, and underneath his charm there's something elusive about him. But still, given the limited alternatives available to Juno they qualify...
Kate Beggs is just that sort.

The chance to temper classroom learning in the heat of the real world is enough to draw many pupils to the group. But an increasing number of students, like Beggs, believe EWB will shape their professional future. "For our generation of engineers coming out of school, we won't just go the usual route of client work and consulting," says...
...Miller and others have been slowly building a research base. Studies at her SPD Research Institute, adjacent to the STAR clinic, have identified neurological differences between children with sensory-processing problems and typical kids. In one set of experiments, electrodes are attached to children's hands to measure nervous-system activity in response to a series of stimuli that include a siren, a powerful wintergreen scent, the brush of a feather against the cheek--each repeated eight times.

...Neither Yamanaka nor Thomson believes their cells are quite ready for patients yet; for one, both methods use viruses to deliver the time-reversing genes, a practice that is acceptable in the lab but unsafe for the clinic. But the advances are finally pushing stem cell researchers to start talking about when, not if, stem-cell based therapies will be developed to treat diseases...
