...Transition Network, a U.K.-based organization that supports community-level initiatives to improve sustainability and combat climate change. Further, nearly all pharmaceuticals are made from petroleum derivatives, and so are medical materials (think rubber gloves and intravenous tubing). And then there's transportation: transferring equipment, supplies and lab samples, or getting patients to the right facility, sometimes by ambulance or helicopter. (See TIME's A-Z Health Guide...
...School and physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, will be remembered as a researcher, confidant, mentor, and distinctly, as a singer. “He was a perfect tenor, a beautiful voice,” said Katherine Hessler, a former student and researcher in Epstein’s lab. Each year on July 14, Epstein would serenade his research lab with songs from the French Revolution. “He was always whistling, humming, or singing. He was a very musical guy.” Epstein passed away last Wednesday. He was 84. Epstein taught generations of medical students...
...Carmat heart has been tested in the lab and in animals; it could take up to two years to get the approval needed to begin human trials. Among the issues that still need to be worked out: battery life. One charge, for example, runs anywhere from five to 16 hours. Though that's significantly better than older rivals, which last just 30 minutes if disconnected from a power source, it poses the problem of frequent recharging - and methods of doing so without increasing the risk of infection.

...year-old lab researcher said she would probably vote for Obama in the end, if only because Sarah Palin was such a poor choice for a running mate for McCain. And the economic meltdown had inclined her even more toward Obama...
Imagine walking into the engineering labs at 60 Oxford St. and having a fly buzz around your head. After swatting it away, instead of a splat on the wall, you discover a tiny mechanical creation of Robert J. Wood, an assistant professor of electrical engineering. Two weeks ago, Wood was awarded a grant from the Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Research Program for work on the aero-elasticity of flapping wings of micro aero vehicles (MAVs). The Air Force program, which provides around $100,000 each year for a three-year period, hopes...
