...students work in-depth on one specific project, but convene in weekly group meetings to see what’s going on in the other groups—a practice which professors say the average student doesn’t experience until graduate student lab rotations...
...Ideally, every week we go through the nitty-gritty of what it’s like to be in a lab. The results that they are acquiring right now are as though they were graduate students or post-doctoral fellows, and there is the potential that these research results could end up in a publication,” says Angela Koehler, a fellow at the Broad Institute, who has six students assisting her in screening libraries of small molecules for transcription factors...
...large research group equivalent in size to a senior faculty’s research group, staffed entirely by undergraduates,” says Executive Director of Undergraduate Education in MCB, Robert Lue. “It’s outfitted exactly like a senior researcher’s lab...
...foreseeable technology to teleport a physical object like a pen, much less a person," says Gisin. He doesn't rule out, in the far future, the teleportation of a molecule. In the immediate future, there are other applications: last year, for example, a spin-off company of Gisin's lab called ID Quantique developed a quantum key that allows for communication--say, transactions between banks--that is completely inoculated against code-breaking attacks. Because the information is being transported in an unconventional way, it's impossible to track. The technology is being considered by the Geneva canton government...
Stephen is not in Vegas. He's watching a video monitor in Paul Glimcher's neural-science lab at New York University. And his head is plugged into a high-powered Siemens functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner (fMRI). His name is not actually Stephen; he's a composite research subject. Glimcher is at the frontal lobe of an intriguing network of brain researchers and economists who are using advanced medical technology to try to figure out why people make the decisions they do--what brand of cereal, which mutual fund--and what part of the brain tells them...
