...Mammograms detect only 75% of invasive breast cancers in women under 50. That's probably because tumors in younger women grow so rapidly that they can go from undetectably small to large between MAMMOGRAM exams...
...arrived at the NIH as a 28-year-old doctor seeking two things: the credentials to become a medical school professor and an alternative to service in Vietnam. Then, one day some months later, I was abruptly transformed into a committed scientist when a method I was developing to detect expression of a gene suddenly worked. At that moment, I knew the intoxicating power of measurement and the sweet anticipation of my own results...
...Magellan] is five times bigger than the Hubble so it will have a much larger field of view," Kirshner says. "Plus there are certain wavelengths the Hubble can't detect...
Already storm chasers like Davies-Jones have acquired a deeper understanding of the spectacular springtime storms that produce the most violent tornadoes. They have played a crucial role in developing a new type of radar that can peer through the darkest clouds and detect areas of rapid rotation as much as half an hour before a twister touches down. And now--thanks to an unprecedented data-gathering effort known as VORTEX (short for Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment)--these daredevils of meteorology are beginning to provide fresh insight into the long-standing mystery of what...
...credibility in the global biotech marketplace. While Cuban institutions conduct clinical trials of vaccines and drugs and informally follow U.S. guidelines for field-testing recombinant organisms, the perception persists that Cuba sometimes releases its products prematurely. Recently, for example, scientists at the Citrus Institute developed a monoclonal antibody to detect tristeza, a lethal virus that threatens to devastate the Caribbean citrus industry. However, although the antibody works well in Cuba, it is being offered to countries whose crops may be infected with different strains...
