...enough to matter.” Some of his colleagues bet there was a 99 percent likelihood of discovering weapons, Allison said. He remembers only one colleague who said there was zero chance that anyone would find chemical or biological weapons in Iraq: Molecular and Cellular Biology professor Matthew S. Meselson. Meselson did not return a request for comment. NOT QUITE ‘VINDICATED’Unlike most of his Belfer Center colleagues, Ashton B. Carter had already seen all the cards the Bush administration was holding. A former assistant secretary of defense for international security policy...
...Initiative, an interdisciplinary faculty effort that seeks to serve as a “bridge between the physical and the life sciences,” has been in operation for about a year and a half, according to Sasselov. Team members, whose fields of research range from astronomy to molecular and cellular biology, are exploring the possibility for multiple origins of life and what this means from a biochemical perspective...
...moon's plumes emit particles that are 90% water, in vaporized form, and contribute to the large rings around Saturn. "It's like the steam coming out of your kettle," Hansen-Koharcheck says. By analyzing the molecular structure of these particles, scientists hope to determine whether the vapor originates as ice or liquid, and whether that means there could be life in Enceladus's interior, beneath the surface...
...that have lost respect for our culture and our politics." Every year State dispatches roughly 30 Science Diplomacy Fellows around the world for one or two years service. Alex Dehgan, an evolutionary biologist, was sent to redirect Iraqi weapons scientists to civilian research, while Jason Rao, a John Hopkins molecular biologist, did the same in Russia, Georgia and Kazakhstan before moving to Pakistan, where he now tries to inculcate responsible research practices...
...people, even that we were hiring at The Daily Show, came from backgrounds of academia or journalism. They weren’t people that came up through college humor magazines or who had just studied exclusively improv. It was people who were like: ‘I was a molecular biology major and then went to Phillipines and did work-study.’ That informs your point of view so much more than just being really well-versed in early Monty Python...
