...stubborn conviction, of course, has nothing to do with intellect or the complex scientific calculus of cellular biology. It has to do with emotion, and our need to believe that cures or vaccines are imminent possibilities, just tantalizingly out of reach - rather than potential blips on a decades-long horizon...
...Israel's assassinations are six parts gadgetry to four parts information from collaborators. Technology is the foundation of Israel's intelligence operation. In 1996, Israel completed a $4 million network of antennas in hilltop Israeli settlements throughout the West Bank that enables it to listen in on every cellular-phone call Palestinians make. At the Jerusalem headquarters of military intelligence's listening division, Unit 8200, computers scan the calls for key words that signal conversations worth a hearing by one of the hundreds of soldiers stationed there. Even with no one on the line, a cell phone emits a signal...
...crash-course in cellular biology that is the stem cell debate continued Friday when the Washington Post revealed that most if not all of the 60 lines of stem cells currently approved for federally-funded research have been mixed with, or developed in, a medium of mouse cells...
...broadly oxygenated as they are today, a fact that may explain the distinctive pattern he and his colleagues have been finding in the distribution of organisms whose fossilized remains are so vanishingly small that most are not visible to the naked eye. Under a microscope, Knoll notes, the cellular architecture of these ancient life-forms looks remarkably similar to that of modern algae. But unlike their contemporary kin, which bloom all along the continental shelves, these marine algae never strayed far from the shallows...
