...Some cases of intersex abnormalities have one or even two extra female (X) chromosomes. Within the chromosomes, a defective gene may fail in its function because a single fraction of its nucleic acid molecule is aberrant and inutile. The time may come, suggested the Rockefeller Institute's Geneticist Edward L. Tatum, when medical men will be able to replace a defective gene with a specially tailored nucleic acid molecule, or to boost a patient's deficient supply of functioning molecules with an injection of the right kind. If that day comes, man will be close to controlling...
...Radcliffe last week formally inaugurated a lady president (Radcliffe's third), to take over from Wilbur K. Jordan, who returns to teaching history at Harvard after ten years. She is Vassar-educated Mary Ingraham Bunting, 48, a microbiologist and mother of four teenagers, who describes herself as "a geneticist with nest-building experience." The widow of Yale Pathologist Henry Bunting, she had a distinguished teaching career at Bennington, Goucher, Wellesley and Yale. In 1955 she became dean of Rutgers University's Douglass College for women, carried on radiation research for the Atomic Energy Commission. Her specialty: a bright...
...Joshua Lederberg, Nobel-prizewinning geneticist of Stanford - University, doubted that instruments that do not actually land on a planet can determine whether it has life. Even if there are no large, conspicuous plants or animals to see from a distance, the soil may swarm with microscopic creatures, as does the earth's. Lederberg suggests equipping an interplanetary probe with a sort of artificial anteater that will stick out a tongue of transparent tape, touch it to the planet's soil, and draw it back again for study by a built-in microscope. The enlarged pictures of dust particles...
...Alien Planets. If a life-forming process happened on earth, said Nobel Prizewinning Geneticist Hermann J. Muller of Indiana University, something similar probably happened on millions of other planets in the universe, and may have produced highly intelligent creatures...
Piel was right, but his theory was four years in the proof. To stay abreast of fast-breaking scientific research, he commissioned authoritative reports from men at the frontiers of discovery: Physicist I. I. Rabi, Geneticist George W. Beadle, the late Dr. Albert Einstein and 15 other Nobel prizewinners. The magazine was redesigned to offer a rich reading diet of articles on all the leading science disciplines: the physical, social, technical, medical and life sciences. Scientific American blossomed with graphic color so compelling that a portfolio of illustrations has sold more than 7,000 copies...
