...human eggs three years ago that is the source of Hwang's trouble today. The South Korean researcher, who in 2004 became the first to clone human cells and extract stem cells from them, stepped down from the World Stem Cell Hub, but will remain in charge of his lab at Seoul National University after confirming that two members of his team in 2003 had donated eggs for stem cell research. The news came just days after Hwang's partner, Sung Il Roh, disclosed that he had paid more than two dozen women $1,500 each for eggs used...

In cooking as in science, not all lab experiments succeed: an unappealing appetizer of Iberian porkpie with truffled duck liver consisted mostly of morsels of fat. But considering the rich and varied...
