Stanford Chemistry Professor Richard N. Zare '61, who chairs the National Science Foundation's (NSF) overseeing body, the National Science Board (NSB), says he wants to change the undirected and inefficient way government research money is distributed...
...have not been able to devise a good way to allocate resources across different scientific and engineering disciplines," Zare says. "What we see is a lack of coordination [among funding agencies...
...Zare says one problem of science research is that various agencies often allocate money for the same project...
That raised an obvious question. Could these compounds have resulted from earthly contamination of the meteorite during its long Antarctic layover? Not likely, says Richard Zare, a Stanford University chemist who developed and used the analyzer that detected the PAHS and other meteoric hydrocarbons. The researchers performed a "depth profile" on the meteorite, and although no pahs were found on its crust, they were found inside the rock. Had any of Earth's abundant PAHS seeped in, says Zare, he would have expected to find more contamination on the outside than in the interior...
...sharply split on the question, and the evidence from Mars not only heats up the debate but also adds a tantalizing third possibility: life-forms may have arisen on Mars first and then hitched a ride on a meteorite to Earth--or vice versa. As Stanford University chemist Richard Zare puts it, "Who is to say that we are not all Martians...
