...fell off his chair, and I thought, ‘Oh well, never mind that.’” But the next day, she says Greytak came to her office and told her she should intern at the prestigious Bell Labs, where he had done research as an undergraduate.The experience resulted in her joining Bell Labs as a member of the technical staff after she received her doctorate.“Bell Labs was a unique phenomenon in the history of science,” says Federico Capasso, a professor of applied physics at SEAS...
...many disciplines that were formally excluded from the so-called artistic sphere,” she explains. And as a result, Thorington says, the boundaries of identity and expertise are becoming increasingly permeable.YOU SAY STALKING, I SAY ARTFor another organization, the art-technology phenomenon has inspired a line of research about how society and identity function in a world dominated by technology. The Sociable Media Group, whose focus on technologically-mediated communication often manifests itself through installation and design, has opened “Connections,” its most current exhibition at MIT’s Mark Epstein Innovation...
When cancerous cells form a tumor and begin to grow uncontrollably, they need to induce the formation of new blood vessels to bring them oxygen and nutrients—a process known as angiogenesis. A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital has discovered that the main effects of an angiogenesis inhibitor in treating glioblastoma, a severe kind of brain tumor, stem from the reduction of brain swelling, rather than any effect on tumor growth. In these tumors, blood vessels can be leaky, which causes swelling in the brain known as edema. This, in turn, can cause drowsiness, loss...
...They fully expected that he would overturn the so-called Mexico City policy restricting family-planning funding overseas, reverse George W. Bush's ban on federal funding for embryonic-stem-cell research and move to rescind a last-minute Bush Administration "conscience clause" rule for medical providers, the latter of which he will probably do as early as next week. But they also presumed Obama would handle and communicate these weighty decisions with a delicate touch, and in that respect, the President has disappointed the crucial voting bloc. It's something Obama can ill afford, especially at time when...
...Embryonic-stem-cell research, for instance, wasn't an issue during the presidential campaign, in large part because John McCain and Obama both support it. Candidate Obama pledged to reverse the ban on stem-cell funding, and his Inaugural Address - in which he vowed to "restore science to its rightful place" - served notice that he would not wait long to do so. So it didn't come as a surprise to Catholics when, on the morning of March 9, the President signed an Executive Order allowing research on embryonic stem cells to go forward after an eight-year halt. Obama...
