...problem is that the cocktail of genes that the HSCI team used to turn back the clock on the patients' skin cells work by integrating themselves into the genome of the skin cell with the help of a virus. Such embedding of foreign matter isn't ideal for a treatment designed for the clinic, since changes in the genome could result in a variety of potential problems, including the formation of tumors and uncontrolled cell growth. Melton's group, as well as those in other stem-cell labs around the world, are working to substitute these dangerous genes and viruses...
...took my time and was dicking around. And then as the deadlines started looming and a year turned into five months, I started getting a little panicky. So I was like, "Can I get an extension on this?" And the publishers were like, "Yeah, sure," and reset the doomsday clock...

...think that there are so many "bad" guidance counselors, but I do think that there are a fair number who are just punching the clock, simply helping kids decide if they need to take physics or chemistry before applying.

Do you remember that descending pattern (C, C7, F, F-minor, G) that concluded primal rock-'n'-roll numbers like Billy Haley's "Rock Around the Clock"? Here, Paul begins with that lick; he also anticipates and reverses the fade-out ending of so many early rock-'n'-roll songs by beginning with a very quick fade-in. Four seconds into the record, Paul is already making history...
