...Weggeland, working with large sheets of Chinese etchings from the 19th century, was applying thin sheets of remoistenable tissue, which could be attached and reattached by adding water, to the damaged portions of the etching. “We want most of the repairs that we do in this lab to be reversible,” Weggeland says. “There is a great amount of damage that has been caused by previous treatments that cause really big problems for us. Turning back the clock on many repairs is part of our life.”THE MUSEUM ITSELFWhile...
...Many of the lab directors are not anticipating funding [the postdocs] after next summer because they won’t have jobs,” she said. “Those are the ones we are most worried about...
While this is wily, it's legal. But news organizations may not tolerate others cherry-picking their content and repurposing it for profit for much longer. "Someone is going to sue the Huffington Post," says Joshua Benton, director of the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University. "It's not just about the volume of the content that it appropriates, it's about the value." There are other aggregators, but HuffPo is the most tempting. "It's a big player, and the site that has got closest to the line" between fair and unfair use of copy, Benton notes...
...candidates in early phase trials, including compounds of two previously tested candidates, just in case they turn out to be effective together where each failed individually. Since Merck's setback in 2007, however, some scientists have questioned current vaccine-development tactics. And some researchers, including those in Nussenzweig's lab, are now trying to produce HIV immunity through antibodies; but despite good results in primates, they have had no luck so far in humans with a single-antibody vaccine...
...quickly, so the immune system doesn't always recognize the virus as something it's encountered before. This is a stumbling block for vaccinemakers, but it's also the reason so few people are able to control an HIV infection naturally, like the six people studied in Nussenzweig's lab. Now, understanding this process could be key to the next vaccines. "It's just that the antibodies are too late," Nussenzweig says, referring to the typical immune response. "The antibody is always chasing the virus around. You get an antibody. It has an effect. Then the virus mutates away from...
