...research in the service of defense is not the only science under scrutiny. Over the next year the NSTC plans to review all federally funded projects -- civilian and military -- with an eye to weeding out redundancies and identifying technology that could be put to use by U.S. companies. Presidential science adviser John Gibbons, who heads the NSTC, makes no secret of the fact that some government-sponsored science will have to be axed. "We're going to do new things," he says. "But we can only do those by not doing some things we are doing...
...purity of its whiteness. Rothko's other work in the show, Untitled Brown and Gray (1969), has similar effects. However, he explores the density of the colors; the squares are more saturated at the connecting border than they are at the edges. This uneven concentration of color leads the eye to the uncovered, white paper. The juxtaposition of the dark form and the untouched whiteness produces a sharper sense of weight. Unfortunately this piece is in a glass case that catches all the lights in the room, imposing disruptive reflections on the work. The casing diminishes the effects of this...
...learned from Gregor Mendel is woefully incomplete. The textbook model of inheritance that Mendel found in his garden peas -- in which a trait like the color of a flower is determined by a single gene -- is almost never seen in human DNA. Even a seemingly straightforward characteristic in humans, eye color, for instance, can involve the interaction of several genes. And a complex gene, like the one that causes cystic fibrosis, can go wrong in any number of places. Scientists have already counted 350 different sites where the cystic fibrosis gene mutates, and more are being uncovered almost every week...
