There are also attendants stationed throughout the museum who explain some of Da Vinci's other well-known interests, such as his dissections. Staff members at the museum demonstrate to visitors the dissection of sheep eyes, hearts or lungs...
...average biotech stock has doubled in two years and reached a four-year high. Following the cloning news out of Scotland, investors indiscriminately bid up stocks of cloning companies. Shares of PPL Therapeutics of Edinburgh, which helped fund the sheep-cloning research, jumped 16% in a day. There have been some genuine commercial successes, such as Biogen Inc.'s drug Avonex, approved last year to treat multiple sclerosis. Still, a dangerous froth is forming. "During the next six months you're going to see quite a few disasters," predicts Evan Sturza of Sturza's Medical Investment Letter...

Last week Scottish scientists may have cloned a sheep using DNA, but it was Crick and Watson who first introduced us to DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Crick, a Brit, was an inveterate scientific tinkerer as a boy. Watson, a Chicago native, won his degrees in zoology. In 1953 both were researchers at Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, where they identified the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecular substance that makes possible the transmission of inherited characteristics. In 1976 Crick joined the Salk Institute and geared his energies toward exploring the workings of the brain, including short- and long-term...
