...output, less than a hundred grams a year, shows just how rare it is). The element is hard to procure. In the U.S., it takes a government license to buy more than minute quantities, and according to the website of United Nuclear, which sells isotopes for use in research labs, it would take about $1 million, 15,000 purchases of the largest unlicensed amount and some fancy lab work to scrape together a lethal dose. (The British Health Protection Agency says the dose that killed Litvinenko was at least 10 times as high as that needed to kill...
...anticipate the brouhaha his death would cause. "I believe this was a botched operation," says Litvinenko's friend Alexander Goldfarb, who helped him escape from Russia and runs the Berezovsky-funded International Foundation for Civil Liberties in New York City. Without the intervention of Britain's nuclear-bomb lab, the cause of death would have remained shrouded. Boris Zhuykov, chief of the radioisotope laboratory at the Nuclear Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, says the discovery that polonium was the cause was "an act of scientific heroism. The murderers obviously did not expect that the polonium would...
...sitting quietly in her lab, Victoria D’Souza, the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Department’s new and only HIV virologist, is doing the actual fighting with the villain behind it all—the Human Immunodeficiency Virus...
Zachary A. Katz ’10, one of D’Souza’s freshmen who hopes to concentrate in MCB and English, says he discovered D’Souza’s lab by “a stroke of luck,” and that he hopes to work there until he graduates. “What really interested me about her research was her novel idea to look at RNA-protein interactions...it’s something that could probably have a higher payoff,” Katz says...
...harbor over which it looks. Riding up the 50-person glass elevator, the view of the water is constantly changing yet always intriguing. No part of the museum expresses this connection better than the unfortunately named Mediatheque, which hangs angled below the cantilevered galleries. The Mediatheque is a computer lab in which to explore the ICA’s collection and online activities. The computers are arranged sloping downwards, mimicking both the theater and the grandstand below. The front wall of the room is one large plate of glass, framing a constantly changing and eternally hypnotic portion of the water...
