...working to alleviate pain at the pump as well as human suffering. They produce energy-sparing new approaches to solar power, nanolighting and even a handheld haz-mat detector. Others are doing amazing work in creating synthesized disease killers, minting silver bullets for pathogens or using stem cells to cure heart disease. On the security front, there are new analyzers, sensors and antivirus hardware that could make our cities and computer networks safer. Finally, someone invented a way to clean up the e-waste left over when all that technology goes out of date in the next minute...

But such a treatment would be far from a cure-all. “It’s unlikely that there’s going to be one gene that’s the answer or that works for everybody,” Pollack said...
...eyes are on our ivory tower, noting everything from our cure-finding medical research to our Nobel Laureates to our president, foot firmly planted in his mouth. At times, the spotlight burns. It’s not easy being simultaneously lauded for academic excellence and derided for academic inflation, for instance. And the media coverage of Harvard isn’t always fair and balanced, even by Fox News’ standards...

And to cure them all, there will have to be heaping mounds of understanding: as it happens, 57 percent of Americans—“homophobes” by definition—consider homosexuality “against God’s will,” according to a Los Angeles Times...
