Phillips, a transfer student from University of California at San Diego, was elected by secret ballot
...Crimson started four first-year players and one new transfer student, sophomore Claudia Asano, who came over from B.C. On the whole, the fresh faces did well--Ficociello had a goal, and midfielder Genevieve Grandison picked up five ground balls. The other starters included freshman attacker Kim Weeks and freshman defender Annie Johnson...
...this point, Wilmut and his colleagues switched to a mainstream cloning technique known as nuclear transfer. First they removed the nucleus of an unfertilized egg, or oocyte, while leaving the surrounding cytoplasm intact. Then they placed the egg next to the nucleus of a quiescent donor cell and applied gentle pulses of electricity. These pulses prompted the egg to accept the new nucleus--and all the DNA it contained--as though it were its own. They also triggered a burst of biochemical activity, jump-starting the process of cell division. A week later, the embryo that had already started growing...
...adult cell, both the genetics community and the world at large are coming to an unsettling realization: the science is the easy part. It's not that the breakthrough wasn't decades in the making. It's just that once it was complete--once you figured out how to transfer the genetic schematics from an adult cell into a living ovum and keep the fragile embryo alive throughout gestation--most of your basic biological work was finished. The social and philosophical temblors it triggers, however, have merely begun...
