...clear how much heart disease they actually have," says Dr. David Bluemke at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. "Their cholesterol is high. Their blood pressure is high. They have a few risk factors. That doesn't mean they need to go to the catheterization lab. But it sure would be nice to get a quantitative measure of their disease...
...tapped Saddleback congregants to talk with the heads of specific Rwandan sectors. Sam Smith, a retired U.S. federal administrative judge just returned from Kigali, says he hopes to send U.S. police, prosecutors and judges to advise their African counterparts in areas like sexual-assault investigation and police-lab construction. Warren also expects about 500 of the "small groups" that make up Saddleback to "adopt" individual Rwandan villages and begin sending short-term visitors in the fall. With a preacher's flair, he compares the program to a starter batch of yeast that someone once gave to his mother, which engendered...
...cost of sequencing a human genome to $1,000. The electrophoresis method, however, costs about $20 million, while the Harvard researchers’ epifluorescence method, which processes thousands of bases at the same time, currently costs about $2.2 million. By speeding up the process, the new method reduces lab time and, consequently, cost. Researchers say they hope it can be decreased even more...
...wrote a postcard to The Crimson from Beirut. I was working for a non-profit (without a glossy brochure, to be sure) coordinating an exchange program between Middle Eastern and American college students. The summer before, I conducted experiments on the spore covering of the anthrax bacterium, finding lab work too slow-paced to really capture my interest. This past summer, I was one of those pasty i-bankers emerging squinty-eyed into the sun after a long summer spent staring at CNBC and Excel’s Visual Basic editor. And journalism? Outside of The Crimson...
...theory of natural selection explains life as we find it, with all its quirks and tragedies. We can prove mathematically that it is capable of producing adaptive life forms and track it in computer simulations, lab experiments and real ecosystems. It doesn't pretend to solve one mystery (the origin of complex life) by slipping in another (the origin of a complex designer...
