...losing their minds: a few days ago, the Icelandic Ministry of Health set up an emergency mental-health center in downtown Reykjavík to help citizens distressed by the nation's economic implosion. Located on the second floor of an old health clinic, it stands ready to treat a torrent of mentally anguished Icelanders. As yet, business has been slow. Dr. Ragnar Ólafsson, one of two full-time psychologists assigned to the clinic, was savoring a sandwich alone in his office at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 13. "Not many people have come so far," he says...
...memories surrounding the dish than on the taste of the item itself. (Tripe, nota bene, is cow stomach.) These are the people who are hopelessly easy to please.I am undeniably a member of the second camp.When I was three I craved garlic string beans and green olives. My favorite treat was a bar of Rolos with a cup of black coffee. Favorite dish? Beef with Chinese bitter melon and black bean sauce. Call me precocious, but the real term for me is “nontaster.”As a nontaster, I belong to about 25% of the population...

Not necessarily.“For me at least, there are better ways to change the world,” Zisiadis said.—Staff writer Chelsea L. Shover can be reached at clshover@fas.harvard.edu...
...harmful—retrovirus approach since researchers first reprogrammed human skin cells with the method late last year. Integrating these viruses into the cells' DNA causes permanent genetic manipulation, which can trigger malignant tumor growth, making them unsafe for human use. Scientists ultimately hope to clear this hurdle and treat a wide variety of human diseases by transplanting body tissues created from stem cells. Only three weeks ago, Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger and his colleagues at HSCI reported that they created mouse iPS cells using harmless adenoviruses that don’t alter the genetic makeup...
