...they've come to expect is a more expressive conducting style than that of his sometimes stern-faced predecessor, Dutchman Edo de Waart. Gelmetti's performance of Ravel's Bol?ro two years ago has already passed into Sydney folklore. Loose of hip, his stomach thrust forward, he seemed to coax Ravel's rhapsodic wave out of his shoulders. Seeing him perform the same piece with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra a year before, the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel went so far as to say, "Gelmetti conducts with his stomach." Whatever the case, his expansive enjoyment of the music is infectious...
...Korean technique has only worked in women so far, perhaps because they alone have cumulus cells, which seem especially amenable to cloning. It should work in men too, but first, researchers will have to isolate the male equivalent of cumulus cells. Moreover, scientists are still learning how to coax stem cells into becoming particular types of tissue, and for many diseases they don't even know what kind of cells they need to end up with. "With juvenile diabetes," says Goldstein, "I think we have a sense of what cells we want to make. With ALS [Lou Gehrig's disease...
Geobacter's secret is its unique metabolism: the microbes expel electrons outside their cell walls without needing to convert them to water, as human cells do. Geobacter needs only an outside compound--usually iron oxide, or rust--to accept the excess electrons. Lovley discovered how to coax Geobacter into not only dumping electrons onto uranium waste but also consuming petroleum by-products. Geobacter has already effectively decontaminated a uranium mine in Colorado and an oil spill in Minnesota...

...possible, the dimensions of this impression, the color and the shape, so that we can faithfully reproduce it and our creations ring true. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed that all this time I’ve spent staring at my computer screen, trying to coax unwieldy words into delicate prose, all amounted to variations on the same masturbatory activity: finding different ways to focus on myself, to fall further and further into an internal world. I began to feel claustrophobic and slightly bloated. I began to look with new regard at my friends concentrating...
