...electronics-research lab in Hangzhou, China, at the Holley Group, one of the most talked about and admired private companies in China, a team of mobile-phone engineers was very busy on a recent weekday morning--busy reading sports articles and playing solitaire and Ping-Pong. One engineer, at least, worked on a circuit board, prying it out of a plastic handset with a box cutter. "This team is young," said a supervisor. "They don't really know what they're doing...
Many of you are at that blissfully naive time during junior spring when you are deciding whether to write theses, and if so, on what topic. Please keep in mind that for many of you, a thesis club is in your future, except for those of you lab rats, who will be spending 60-hour weeks in labs, biting your nails over your non-viable thesis experiments. Rule #1 for any thesis: Make sure that you have a viable project. My first thesis topic was an exposé on the evils of Diet Coke, a project wholly dependent...
...still haven?t made any money. But some of the speakers felt that could soon change?and urged the U.S. not to let this opportunity slip by such shortsighted policies as curbing stem-cell research, a decision that has led at least one prominent scientist to move his lab out of the country. ?When you see whole groups of scientists move to take advantage of new opportunities,? said Juan Enriquez, director of the Harvard Business School?s life science project, ?you can make a country rich or poor very quickly.?

Sometimes it all scares her, but her optimism and confidence win out. “I’ll get through it,” she declares. “I do not procrastinate. I plan ahead...
...These may be solipsistic questions, but they seem more than idle historic curiosity as we gather only paces from Doc Rickett?s Lab (still lovingly preserved) to ponder the future of the genetic revolution. We know he favored the simple life, as in his admiration for the unencumbered lifestyle of the Indians he encountered with Steinbeck around the Sea of Cortez. He also had a profound appreciation of nature, untrammeled and unspoiled. He did not like to see it reel under unthinking human assault. But as a scientist, he also understood the power and potential of research to improve...
