...goals of the Picture Balata tour was to afford American audiences the rare opportunity to hear the unfiltered thoughts of three bright children from Balata refugee camp and see the photographic concepts that they themselves developed. We regret that Shai Bronshtein found these children’s reality too difficult to bear and instead of coming to terms with it, used his column space in the Harvard Crimson to deny these kids’ experiences and perpetuate myths...
...changed the way we look at the sky. In the 1980s he refined a technique called microlensing, allowing scientists a more textured view of the galaxy. In the '90s he and a team of Polish researchers established a sweeping--and ongoing--project to capture all celestial activity and record rare events like killer asteroids. He was 67 and had brain cancer...
...come up with the next big things for the nose or taste bud, fragrance-and-flavor companies send their scientists on "scent treks." On a recent trip to Papua New Guinea, Roman Kaiser, director of smell research for Givaudan, collected more than 50 samples, including a rare hoya plant.

To create authentic flavorings, Givaudan's researchers go on "taste treks" to gourmet restaurants and popular street...

Japan's low birthrate means that the large families that once took care of aged parents as a matter of course are now rare, and overburdened Japanese households are increasingly turning to the state for help. But with a public debt that is already 1.5 times the nation's GDP after years of deficit spending, the Japanese government is under pressure to find a more efficient way of caring for the elderly...
