...Fear not, there is method in his madness. While working as a nurse in intensive care, Shaw became familiar with a group of volunteers helping to support young people with cancer.

Even Shaw's jaunty bandanna has meaning; it was adopted as the group's symbol...
...method he devised is “still the most common way people look at three dimensional structures,” says Church, who today operates a lab that analyzes and synthesizes genomes and specializes in technology development...
...human genome was first sequenced using an updated version of a method developed in the 1970s by Frederick Sanger. That method, while reliable and accurate, is also expensive and time-consuming. To mitigate the cost, some companies are currently using sequencing-by-synthesis methods, including the base extension method and Church’s preferred ligation method...
When human trials finally begin, there's no method for precisely determining whether the transplanted stem cells are functioning correctly. "If we transplanted cells to regenerate a pancreas," says Owen Witte, director of UCLA's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, "we can measure in your blood if you're producing insulin, but we can't see whether the cells have grown or evaluate whether they might grow into a tumor." So scientists are seeking to develop marking systems that let them trace a transplant's performance...
