While in the past, the concepts of molecular bonding and structure were taught by themselves in introductory chemistry courses, Liu said that they will now be taught in the context of how they affect DNA and DNA replication...
Maybe that's why, with the DNA of all these Jurassic projects being scrambled to create new movie monsters (and, in the case of War of the Worlds, monster movies), the film we can't wait for is 3001, a comedy-fantasy by Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Office Space), due out in August. It stars Luke Wilson as a present-day dim bulb who is put to sleep for 1,000 years and wakes up to discover he is the brightest man in an incredibly--but plausibly--dumbed-down future.

...Kerkorian tends to be quiet and unassuming. He hasn't been entirely able to shield himself from the tabloids, however. In 2002 he was involved in a tawdry paternity case after his third wife, tennis pro Lisa Bonder, to whom he had been married for a month, admitted faking DNA tests to prove he was the father of her child. Still, when he attends boxing matches, Kerkorian sits up in the cheap seats, not at ringside. "He wants to be in the background," says Molasky. For a guy who may be about to rumble with General Motors, that...
People who object on moral grounds to research using human embryonic stem cells might be surprised to learn that scientists too are struggling with ethical dilemmas. In the past when a controversial new technology came along--recombinant DNA, for example--the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would set the scientific and ethical standards for research. But with embryonic stem cells (ESCs), the NIH has been hamstrung by President Bush's 2001 order allowing it to fund only research using the limited and imperfect cell lines already in existence--not exactly cutting-edge science. Relegated to a minor role...
...walks to class quite like a Harvard student. No one struggles under the weight of laundry quite like a Harvard student. No one sneezes quite like a Harvard student. With every small Asian camera that takes my picture, I am convinced that the best part of my DNA is captured for potential reproduction at a rival Ivy institution...
