...What we're doing to change the human gene pool in this field is very small," said Weatherall, a pioneer in the application of molecular biology to human hereditary disease...
...wait. Off in that distant time human ingenuity will save us from this molecular blender. Well, sort of. You must wait for the development of nanotechnology, basically the engineering of FriendlyTinyRobots capable of being programmed and self-duplicating. With a horde of FriendlyTinyRobots willing to scour our body's molecular nooks and crannies, repairing the damage that the crystalline Katana blades have done, thawing is no problem, and if we can solve the thawing problem (i.e. the reassembly of every cell in the body) the original cause of your death ought to be laughably easy to remedy...
...challenge for the next century for biologists is to find out how organisms really work as molecular machines," he said...
...Greenleaf '02, a physics concentrator in Mather House, has extensive experience in science and technology research. He has worked the past six summers in molecular biology and biophysics laboratories at the Mayo Clinic. He is a co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Undergraduate Sciences. His column, which will appear for a second semester on alternate Tuesdays, will discuss developments in science and technology, along with occasional political ruminations...
...result, not one cow in America has so far been found to have BSE--and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has an aggressive plan to find, quarantine and destroy any if they appear. "Even if you do eat beef from an infected cow," says Michael Scott, a molecular biologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who has studied the disease in cattle and humans, "you have a very low risk of contracting VCJD...
