...Money was thrown at market research too, especially in the long months before the launch. (Lipman was hired in the summer of 2005 for a magazine that didn't come out until May 2007.) "When I asked to attend a focus group, they suggested not New York - in the same building - but Chicago," says another former staffer. "Joanne stayed at the Four Seasons. And two people from the art department turned their San Francisco focus-group trip into a multiday minivacation at company expense...
Muniz, her ex and her children are among the 2,025 families who volunteered to be genetically tested for a vast registry called the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE), assembled to help researchers untangle the complex genetics of autism. Now that effort is beginning to pay off. The largest genetic study of autism ever attempted - involving more than 3,000 participants from AGRE, 1,453 cases from other sources and over 7,000 additional control subjects - identified genetic variations in a region of chromosome 5 that appears to play a pivotal role in about 15% of cases of autism. What...

...Unofficial Guide and make it more easily usable, searchable, and accessible for students as opposed to focusing on student academic life,” Bick said. Bick and Yan came up with the idea for Rover one year ago while visiting London. “We were both doing research in Europe, and when we got together, we realized how useful it would be to have a guidebook on a cell phone instead of in paperback form,” Bick said. Bick and Yan, engineering and physics concentrators, respectively, used the programming knowledge they learned in Computer Science...
...responsible for slowing women down, what is? One answer is that men and women prioritize different aspects of their work. Female associate professors devote less time than their male counterparts do to churning out books and articles, essential fuel for promotion: women reported spending 7.7 hours a week on research and writing compared to 9.7 hours for men. This difference adds up to men spending about two more full work-weeks a year writing than women do. That can make a big difference at a time when schools' increased reliance on adjunct professors is pushing the bar for promotion higher...
