This year Human Genome Sciences won sweeping rights to future products based on a gene known as CCR5. The protein it encodes has emerged as a promising target for anti-AIDS drugs. That rankles Christopher Broder, who, along with a platoon of other scientists, nailed down the link between CCR5 and AIDS. Why, Broder asks, should Human Genome Sciences profit from their hard work...
...Scott Adams has decided to capitalize on his fame by creating the Dilberito. It's an all-in-one microwaveable meal-in-a-pocket aimed at the laptop-and-modem crowd. Bland but basically edible, the Dilberito comes in four flavors, all vegetarian and all stuffed with vitamins and protein. Is the Dilberito for everyone? "Some people care about efficiency," Adams says. "Some people don't. We'll get them last...
Though environmentalists are raising loud alarms about the dangers of a genetically modified "super salmon," continued overfishing and increasing demand for cheap protein sources probably mean its advent is inevitable. An American firm is reported to have developed genetically modified (GM) salmon that grows 10 times faster than normal farm-raised varieties, according to a BBC report, a development that could cut the cost of raising salmon by more than half...
...actually understand everything--there are many things, from the turbulence of ocean currents to the folding of protein molecules, that cannot be understood without radical improvements in our methods of calculation. They will provide plenty of interesting continued employment for theorists and experimenters for the foreseeable future. But no new freestanding scientific principles are needed to understand these phenomena. The standard model provides all the fundamental principles we need...
