Biodynamic farming thus combines organic practices--like the banning of pesticides and chemicals--with somewhat mystical ideas such as basing planting and harvesting schedules on the position of the moon, sun and stars. It's full of colorful details...

Researchers at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a new method of screening tumors for key cancer-related gene abnormalities. The finding, published in an advanced online edition of the scientific journal Nature Genetics, is a major step towards the development of personalized cancer treatments. Different patterns of gene expression are associated with different types of cancers, but identifying the various mutations that contribute to each kind of cancer is a laborious and costly process. “Millions and millions of dollars are spent just to recognize mutations in a few cancers when ideally, you would...
