...type departments is not insignificant: according to various estimates, only about 1.5 million species out of about 23 million are even partially described. These discoveries have important practical applications as well, for they are central to pressing political issues (global climate change) and medical research (e.g., the tree extract documented at the Herbaria, Calophyllum, that may prove effective against AIDS). If Harvard allows its ability to play a role in such important questions about our place on this planet to tarnish, its reputation will surely, and quickly, do the same...
...article is an extract from Who Are We?, a forthcoming book by Huntington that celebrates the importance of that Anglo-Protestant culture to American identity and attacks those who supposedly undermine it.

...from this research. Scientists will have to figure out how to purify ovarian stem cells, then transfer them into depleted ovaries to see if they can restart egg production--first in mice, then, if possible, in humans. But if they can, Tilly envisions all sorts of benefits. You might extract the cells and freeze them, and if a woman got cancer, you could reintroduce them after chemotherapy shut down her ovaries. Or you might freeze some of the vigorous stem cells in a young woman so she would have a reserve supply as those in her body aged and weakened...
