...couldn’t insert the way we normally do because the ball wasn’t moving fast enough, but we still should’ve been able to put something in,” Ziomek said...
...Large museums attach alarms to their most valuable canvases, but a modest alarm system can cost $500,000 or more. Some museums are looking into tracking devices that would allow them to follow stolen items once they leave the premises. "But conservators are concerned that if they have to insert something, it might damage the object," says Wilbur Faulk, former head of security at the Getty Museum...
Some athletes are banking on a different strategy: gene therapy. Researchers have developed techniques to insert EPO-producing genes into cells so they can generate additional amounts of EPO long term. But again, says Wadler, "since overproduction of red cells is potentially lethal, this technique requires a pharmacological on-off switch." Researchers are using various techniques to devise controllable EPO delivery systems, in which genes inserted into the skin can be turned on and off either by taking a pill or rubbing a chemical on the skin. Other scientific groups are encapsulating genetically engineered EPO-producing cells in man-made...
...time you spend chatting with your friends—not the hours you spend in class—constitutes the most important education you get at Harvard. I am reminded of all those times I said, “Hey, man, I’d love to come [insert fun activity with friends here] with you guys, but I’ve got to study for this quiz…” Too often, I’ve been a slave to my Timex, and at a place like Harvard, it sure is easy to fall into that trap...
