Down to Earth. If you want to visit Madrid's Prado Museum, but can't afford the airfare, try typing Prado Museum into Google Earth and examine, down to the tiniest brushstroke, 14 of the museum's artworks, including Velázquez's Las Meninas, Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights and Rubens's The Three Graces...
...dropout epidemic is. Although high schools are currently required to meet graduation targets each year, states have been setting the bar for improvement, a system that has led to a lot of variation across the country. The Education Trust report found that in half of states, even the tiniest bit of progress was deemed sufficient. In a few states, simply not doing worse than the previous year was good enough. "A 50% graduation rate holding steady should not be viewed as progress by anyone," says Daria Hall, assistant director for K-12 policy development at the Education Trust. "We obviously...
...Retin-A right now and I do think that works. The other creams might actually reduce your wrinkles the tiniest bit because some of them make claims that they do. The problem is, nobody is examining your face as closely as you do. What I learned after a year - this is really to me the take-home message - is that there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that it's very difficult, if not impossible, to look younger. But the good news is that it's possible and actually relatively easy and inexpensive to appear more...
Cullen and his team were able to replicate the intricate process using lab mice. They started by identifying the tiniest components of the HSV-1 strain. In its latent stage, HSV-1 produces a single molecular product, called latency-associated transcript RNA, or LAT RNA. Unlike most messenger RNA, LAT RNA doesn't produce proteins, so scientists have never been able to determine LAT RNA's exact function. But by inserting the LAT RNA into mice, Cullen found that it breaks down into even smaller strands called microRNA. Researchers then discovered that it was the microRNA that blocked production...
...driven culture that is cultivated at this bastion of the protestant ethic and spirit of capitalism. Before her stroke, Taylor was very much a part of the Harvard ethos, a neuroscientist who, according to her colleagues, displayed none of the mysticism that would characterize her future. But the tiniest of biological accidents changed...
