...Until Thursday, the Bush administration maintained that its need to extract time-critical intelligence from suspected terrorists required it to skirt the Geneva Convention and other international niceties that obligated the administration to treat terrorists the same as conventional prisoners of war. In recent weeks, it has made a last-ditch effort to at least exempt intelligence agents from the more stringent guidelines...
That's where Keasling comes in. He's focusing his lab's work on producing synthetic artemisinin to drive down the price per dose to pennies. Keasling and his team at Berkeley have already worked out how to extract the genes responsible for making artemisinin and transplanted them into a harmless strain of E. coli. Now they're furiously working those 100-hour weeks to reroute the metabolic traffic in the microbe and produce oodles of artemisinin...
...Australia where they have traditionally been prolific. Wilton's keen to do more sampling, but hasn't been able to find funding and has to rely on charging a per sample fee. Now, with the help of a Ph.D. student from Sweden, he is about to begin trying to extract dna from skulls collected in the 1960s and '70s - the oldest he's been able to find here or overseas - stored in twenty 44-gallon drums held by the csiro...
...lack of human eggs three years ago that is the source of Hwang's trouble today. The South Korean researcher, who in 2004 became the first to clone human cells and extract stem cells from them, stepped down from the World Stem Cell Hub, but will remain in charge of his lab at Seoul National University after confirming that two members of his team in 2003 had donated eggs for stem cell research. The news came just days after Hwang's partner, Sung Il Roh, disclosed that he had paid more than two dozen women $1,500 each for eggs...
...viewpoint "Oil is Here to Stay," Peter Huber argues that sufficient supplies of oil exist to quench our thirst indefinitely and that we merely need the political will to extract them. His assessment implies that we should continue our addiction to using fossil fuels without fear of consequence. In fact, we are probably paying for that addiction right now in the form of global climate change. Evidence abounds that the earth is warming?melting ice caps, rising sea levels and perhaps even more intense hurricanes devastating our coasts. Most climate scientists believe the warming is directly related to rising concentrations...
