...rotting wooden planks of a fallen home out of a marsh, shoveling chunks of grass out of wetlands to plant trees there, filling in the white spots of a shed built over the site of a fallen home with red paint and love: all were opportunities to learn and grow. On Easter Sunday—a few days after arriving in Biloxi—we took a day trip to New Orleans. Encountering a skyline of majestic skyscrapers that could have belonged to any city, I found myself filled with immense love for this vast country. As Dvorak?...
...process works: scientists biopsy stem or satellite muscle cells from a livestock animal, such as a chicken, cow or pig. The cells are then placed in a nutrient-rich medium where they divide and multiply, and are then attached to a scaffolding structure and put in a bioreactor to grow. In order to achieve the texture of natural muscle, the cells must be physically stretched and flexed, or exercised, regularly. After several weeks, voila, you have a thin layer of muscle tissue that can be harvested and processed into ground beef, chicken or pork, depending on the origin...
...cost. Given the current technology, it would cost $1 million to turn out a 250g piece of beef. The problem boils down to producing a cell-culture medium in large enough quantities at a low enough price (it's the same problem facing tissue engineers who are attempting to grow artificial organs for human transplant). So, two weeks ago, an international group of experts assembled in Norway for the first In Vitro Meat Consortium symposium to talk about how to scale up the technology and sustain it long-term. The group concluded that it will be possible to produce...
...Germany and Spain have already pledged extra funds, and Sheeran says she is hopeful Japan, Canada and the U.S. will approve new donations as well. What's more, Sheeran says, "I would say over the medium to long term I am an optimist because the world knows how to grow enough food." The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that cereal production will once again increase in 2008, and bring at least a modest reduction in food prices. "As always, if you take [all the world's] food and divide it by the world's population, there's more than...
...hating your job, when taken to its logical conclusion, it destroys summer. And this seems somehow wrong.Indeed, the overbooked generation stands the risk of becoming the overwhelmed generation if this trend continues. We have grown up without a conception of spare time. Left to ourselves, we fidget and grow paranoid. It always seems that there is something we should be doing.Hence the birth of the productive-unproductive summer, the overbooked generation’s answer to relaxation. A typical productive-unproductive summer allows us to do something we enjoy because of its underlying academic or charitable purpose. Often...
