...test the technique, so they decided to use a gene that occurs naturally in jellyfish, where it directs the production of a harmless protein that glows with a greenish light under the right illumination. Mice, rabbits and other creatures who have had the same gene inserted actually do shine dimly; while ANDi (his name is a backward acronym for "inserted DNA") does not, the scientists have detected traces of the gene in his muscle, hair, cheek and blood cells. The researchers suspect that the gene may not be expressing its protein--or at least not at detectable levels...
...group of friends decided to meet weekly for lunch in Adams House. Shira, Leah, Naamit and I were very busy but didn't want to lose touch. Invariably, one of us would miss our lunch date for some reason or another...but never Shira. She was there rain or shine, even if she had a test right after or was really busy.

Roland ended by telling the audience he wanted to play for them a little gospel song he wrote, and then thrilled the audience with "Shine," the hit single off Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid. An encore cover performance of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" ended things on a much louder note, and left a raucous audience fighting for Santa hats from the WBCN deejays immediately outside of the Orpheum's doors...
