...role for cloning in treating human diseases--and perhaps someday conquering some of man's most intractable conditions. Wilmut and others have already created cow, sheep and pig cells genetically engineered to produce a particularly beneficial human protein, then cloned those cells to generate live animals able to make copious amounts of the target protein in their milk. It may be another 10 years or more before that approach yields anything safe and reliable enough to be used in real patients, and there is no guarantee that it will ever be successful. But as Wilmut points out, nobody thought Dolly...
Acoustic guitars soon appeared around the Harvard students, and hippies with copious amounts of facial hair banged on makeshift drums made of buckets. A hint of marijuana flavored...
...Undergrads are rarely in a position to weigh the merits of unfamiliar texts. One text may provide background for another, or offer an important critique, or update an outdated argument. If we cut one, we might as well cut the other. Professors who overwhelm their students with copious amounts of reading are doing them a disservice. Balancing social and extracurricular commitments with a four- or five-course load is tough; engaging fruitfully with those courses is tougher. Certainly, undergrads should be prepared to work—and “work hard,” as Tisch Professor of History...
...dumplings, and God: just three highlights of a Harvard-Radcliffe Asian American Christian Fellowship (AACF) event Friday in Ticknor Lounge. The pious party, dubbed “I’m So Sick of Love Songs: A Christian Perspective on Loneliness,” featured dinner, heartfelt testimonials, and copious Backstreet Boys references, suggesting that knowing all the lyrics to “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” really does bring you closer to God. AACF kicked off the program’s “preaching to the choir” section with a performance...
...opened in July 2003. The center's most promising project is a new technology called polygeneration, by which coal is converted into a cleaner gaseous fuel that can both generate electricity and be processed into a petroleum substitute. Polygeneration could cut the carbon emissions China generates by burning its copious coal reserves and reduce its dependence on oil imports. While his team continues to refine the technology--it's still more expensive than direct coal combustion--Li is lobbying the government to construct a $600 million demonstration plant, and he's optimistic he will see it built. "China is motivated...
