Remove the gossypol, however, and you'd have a cheap and abundant form of protein for everyone. But get rid of all the gossypol, as plant breeders did in the 1950s, and insects will devour the defenseless cotton. Enter Keerti Rathore, a professor at Texas A&M University, who found a way around the problem through genetic engineering. In new field-trial data, Rathore's team demonstrated that it can turn off the genes that stimulate the production of gossypol in the cottonseeds while the rest of the plant keeps its natural defenses. "This research potentially opens the door...

...thing, many young "vegetarians" continue to eat the white meat of defenseless chickens (25% in the current study) as well as the flesh of those adorable animals known as fish (46%), even when they are butchered and served up raw as sushi. And in a 2001 study in the Journal of Adolescent Health, researchers found that the most common reason teens gave for vegetarianism was to lose weight or keep from gaining it. Adolescent vegetarians are far more likely than other teens to diet or to use extreme and unhealthy measures to control their weight, studies suggest. The reverse...
...perhaps pushed the boundaries of what was appropriate. I think Le Corbusier was a very troubled man in terms of his masculinity. For many years until his thirties he was not sure how he felt about women, and he seemed more relaxed when the women in his life were defenseless. Here you have this guy who based his career on monumentality and greatness, yet in some ways his biggest fears had to do with women.THC: You are an artist but you also have the role of an educator. How do you think the creation, practice, and interpretation of the arts...
