Paper was an ideal medium because it is cheap, lightweight, and widely available, Martinez said. He and his colleagues in the Whitesides lab have patterned the paper into a “microfluidic device” with channels that allow the fluid to be separated into different compartments where independent assays can take place...

Still, not all of the museum’s departments have been relocated. The Strauss Conservation Center, which will move to a conservation lab in the off-site facility when renovations get underway, remains on the fourth floor of the Fogg and is actively aiding the museum as it prepares objects for transport.

People with stronger measurable threat responses, the study found, tended to adhere to "socially protective" political policies, or those that suggest more concern for preserving the social unit - for example, supporting the Iraq war and the death penalty but opposing abortion rights and gay marriage...
