...right, I was sleep deprived. So what? Still confident that there was nothing wrong with my ability to function at full capacity, I flew to San Francisco, where NASA's Ames Research Center keeps a full-size virtual-motion simulator of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. It's the next best thing to really flying. After a few hours of training and several takeoffs and landings, I had mastered the 747--or so I thought...

Lindquist, along with colleagues at the Harvard Medical School, found that in embryonic brain cells where healthy prion concentration was high, there was an increase in the proliferation of the brain cells...
