...feminism really dead? A friend of mine proclaimed that feminism should be rejected because it is an “outdated, misdirected ideology.” Bra burning, anger and rage are all images that many of us associate with the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s. These images are certainty not ones with which women associate today. In fact, we have reached a point where feminism is cliché, with so many negative connotations that many women who actually advocate feminist principles hesitate to label themselves as feminists.

Proteomics is all the rage in Europe as well. The British biotech Oxford GlycoSciences announced this month that it had filed for patents on 4,000 proteins. It has $280 million in cash reserves and is awaiting U.S. and European approval of a drug for Gaucher disease, a rare inherited disorder...
