That's the idea behind the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA). Launched in September with $100 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the atlas is the first Web-based, public-access database of all 20,000 or so genes expressed in the mouse brain. Want to know where in the brain a specific gene is active? The ABA has it, in vivid three-dimensional color. Curious about what types of brain cells are actively expressing a particular gene? The atlas provides molecular-level data that tell you. "Even though it's a mouse project, it really is a wonderful resource...
...Technology and biology really need to be working more shoulder-to-shoulder,” Cech said in a 2004 interview posted on the Nobel Prize Web site. The problem with universities, Cech said, is that people “who need to really talk to each other” often find themselves “in separate places...
Cech’s interest in building a collaborative research center has roots in his postdoctoral years here in Cambridge. In an autobiography posted on the Nobel Web site, he writes about how he and his biochemist wife Carol “enjoyed being part of the interactive scientific scene at MIT,” where he worked in the mid-1970s...
...dinners and classes, ranging from a Remarkable Rieslings class at the De Gustibus cooking school in New York City to a tasting of Idaho's best wines at the 8th Street Wine Company, a shop in Boise.

Flawed prescriptions each year kill more than 7,000 people in the U.S. and injure more than 1.5 million. To reduce such errors, a coalition of health-care companies and tech firms is launching eRX Now, a Web-based program that will enable all physicians in the U.S. to write electronic prescriptions for free. It will also let them check drug interactions and prevent illegible hand-writing--or smudged decimal points on dosages--from ending in disaster. The $100 million project, whose backers include Allscripts, Dell, Aetna and hospital groups, is targeting the 30% of M.D.s who write...
