...work, using the actual process as a means of bringing the outside world into abstraction. His photograms—prints created sans negative, by placing objects directly on photosensitive material—resemble a cross between the line and drips of Pollock and the intertwining strands of a DNA molecule. In his photogram from the series “Details of Love” (1992), childlike and uneven multi-colored (but predominantly black) squiggles dance around the browned surface, pulling and leaping and creating a tangled web. The lines, as it turns out, are no product of innocence...
...come with the marriage of gravitation and quantum mechanics in physics, economists don’t really know what is going on out there (no matter what Paul Krugman says), and linguists are groping in the dark for foundations as well. But the wild days before the structure of DNA, or before an expanding universe, or before the periodic table, or before Chomsky, Turing, Darwin, Keynes and Einstein are long gone. The great men and their great discoveries have sucked the exhilarating marrow out of the great fields of science. All we do now is stand on their shoulders...
Andrew Murray, professor of molecular and cellular biology, shed light on the emerging role of genetics. He explained the difficulty in decoding the information contained in human DNA...
...There are some 500,000 people living in the U.S. with student visas, which is widely considered the easiest way to get past INS controls. Should we, as some have suggested, require these students to carry special identification papers, or to register their thumbprint or a DNA sample as part of their entrance exam? Should a red flag go up when a registered international student fails to show up for classes? (This last scenario may have actually played out last month; Hani Hanjour was granted a visa to attend an English-language school in California and never showed...
...these experiments, researchers would transfer loose strands of DNA-—the basic molecular unit of heredity—from warm-blooded animals into specimens of E. coli, a commonly-utilized laboratory bacterium, in hopes of producing a new species with heretofore unknown characteristics...
