...schools, Parker says, are sacrificing important lessons in science, social studies and foreign languages to focus on concepts that will be tested.

These basic forms are then further folded and linked to other proteins to create the uberstructures crucial to protein chemistry. Scientists traditionally dissect the atomic details of these folds by observing how crystallized proteins scatter X rays--experiments that can take years to complete. But robots and powerful X-ray generators have lately boosted the pace of discovery. Structures that two decades ago would have taken a couple of researchers 10 years to crack...
