...father asked me, 'Where on earth are you going in that?' " says Mayuka Watanabe, laughing. She is a 17-year-old high school student sporting a headband with a big ribbon and three pink roses. Her friend Miki Takahashi, 18, who takes her fashion inspiration from Cinderella, adds, "People look at me and sometimes even point a finger at me. Once a little kid on the train looked at me and exclaimed, 'Look, there is a fairy!' which was kind of embarrassing, but I didn't care because I just wear what I like." Sanae Nagamine, a 21-year...
...limited. Yamanaka says he'll remain based in Japan because he doesn't want to pull his children out of high school. He has also been a father figure to younger colleagues-one that isn't afraid to share the credit. "He's a guiding teacher," says Kazutoshi Takahashi, an assistant professor at Kyoto and Yamanaka's first student. "Everyone in the lab gets the opportunity to have their names in big papers...
...Fortunately, Yamanaka had one student who was brave-or at least, knew when to say yes to his boss. Takahashi spent endless hours screening the candidate genes. "Perhaps this is not something Kyoto University should know, but I worked 365 days a year," Takahashi laughs. Using retroviruses to deliver the genes into mouse skin cells, Yamanaka and Takahashi eventually narrowed the number down to four active genes that triggered the transformation...
...That the process proved so straightforward shocked Yamanaka. Scientists had assumed that reprogramming would likely require a complex arrangement of far more genes. "We were very surprised," he says-and with the Hwang debacle on their minds, "we were very worried." Yamanaka had another researcher repeat Takahashi's work, and when they published in the journal Cell in August 2006, he took the unusual step of including every last bit of lab data in the supplementary section of his paper. Still, Yamanaka's results weren't fully accepted until his work was replicated by others-the gold standard of scientific...
...Gears” has been designed from the ground up as a “cinematic” game.Designer Cliff Bleszinski refers to the game’s central aesthetic as “destroyed beauty,” and claims in an online interview with Dean Takahashi that he came up with this theme after thinking about the last scene of the 1968 film “Planet of the Apes,” in which Charlton Heston discovers the fallen remains of the Statue of Liberty.Parodoxically, not all games need to become “cinematic?...
