...called geldanamycin show unusual outgrowths on their eyes that can last through at least 13 generations of offspring even though no change in DNA has occurred (and generations 2 through 13 were not directly exposed to the drug). Similarly, according to a paper published last year in the Quarterly Review of Biology by Eva Jablonka (an epigenetic pioneer) and Gal Raz of Tel Aviv University, roundworms fed with a kind of bacteria can feature a small, dumpy appearance and a switched-off green fluorescent protein; the changes last at least 40 generations. (Jablonka and Raz's paper catalogs some...
Published in the Italian journal Acta Geneticae Medicae et Gemellologiae, Pembrey's paper, now considered seminal in epigenetic theory, was contentious at the time; major journals had rejected it. Although he is a committed Darwinist, Pembrey used the paper - a review of available epigenetic science - to speculate beyond Darwin: What if the environmental pressures and social changes of the industrial age had become so powerful that evolution had begun to demand that our genes respond faster? What if our DNA now had to react not over many generations and millions of years but, as Pembrey wrote, within...
...often forgotten presence of Harvard in this wild and crazy chapter of American history is really something. According to a review in the San Francisco Chronicle, Lattin’s book indicates that then-University President Nathan M. Pusey's '28 decision to fire Alpert and Leary essentially mandated that San Francisco (where the pair headed after leaving dainty old Cambridge) would be the holy seat of counterculture...
...review also speculates that it was Weil's reporting that first brought Pusey's attention to the Harvard Psilocybin Project. If that's true, then it looks like it was the work of a Crimson reporter (who oddly embraced drugs and, as we mentioned, later joined the ranks of the counterculture) was the reason all that epic, tie-dyed craziness of the 1960s didn't take place right here in Harvard Yard...
Recent U.S.-Russia bilateral negotiations to reduce long-range weapons did not cover B-61s in Europe. Obama's ongoing "nuclear posture review" and NATO's review of its strategic concept may call for an end to nuclear burden-sharing. But if the issue is not addressed soon, countries may take their own steps to get rid of the weapons. In 2001, when the Greek air force ordered a new fighter jet, it chose a model that could not carry the B-61, forcing the U.S. to withdraw its weapons there. The U.S. still keeps weapons in Turkey, but some...
