...Crick had been impressed with Schrodinger's What Is Life? He wasn't actually studying DNA, though; at age 35, thanks in part to a hiatus for military work in World War II, he was still pursuing his Ph.D. on the X-ray diffraction of hemoglobin, the iron-carrying protein in blood. Watson, meanwhile, had gone to Cambridge to use X-ray diffraction to understand the structure of another protein, myoglobin...
...cancer. But at mid-century he was the world's premier physical chemist, the man who had literally written the book on chemical bonds. A few months before Watson arrived, in fact, Pauling embarrassed the Cavendish by winning the race to figure out the structure of keratin, the protein that makes up hair and fingernails. (It was a long, complex corkscrew of atoms known as the alpha-helix.) While he did rely on X-ray crystallographs for hints to what was going on at the molecular level, Pauling depended more heavily on scaled-up models he built by hand, using...

...established health effects." Yet Professor Salford's work may soon have lawyers heading back to court. Unlike most studies done so far, Salford and his team at Lund did not focus on cancer, but on the blood brain barrier (BBB) that protects the brain from the chemicals, toxins and proteins that circulate in our blood. Over 25 years ago, notes Louis Slesin, editor of New York-based Microwave News, U.S. army and government scientists showed that microwaves from sources other than phones could open up the BBB. "This stuff sticks out like a sore thumb," says Slesin, "but nobody...
...study may just succeed not only as an indicator of larger body-image and confidence problems among teens who choose vegetarianism, but also as a warning shot for young vegetarians. You may think you're eating healthfully by avoiding meat, but here are some low-protein pitfalls you could face: thin, brittle hair, bad skin, low energy. These are problems teenage girls care about - and they could be massaged neatly into a palatable pro-meat message...
