However, I like to think it not a compulsion, but a Feng Shui approach to life. With this need for order, I may have been better suited to
Short Shrift to Evolution?
Barry Palevitz and Ricki Lewis | Feb 1, 1999 | 7 min read
Editor's Note: In this essay, the authors--both scientists and writers--discuss recent news stories on evolution and express their opinions on how the stories were handled by the mainstream press. Evolution took center stage at the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) annual meeting in Reno, Nev., Nov. 3-8, 1998. If the teachers needed a theme, evolution was a logical choice--after all, it underlies and unifies contemporary biology. But NABT had other fish to fry. Despite a spate of c

Monoclonal Antibodies Find Utility In Cell Biology
Ricki Lewis | Dec 11, 1994 | 10+ min read
But, just as antibodies are finding increasing utility in cell biology, a new Food and Drug Administration classification for those products with clinical utility may affect researchers' access to the important technology (see accompanying story). Monoclonal History MAbs were born in 1975, when Georges Kohler and Cesar Milstein at the Medical Research Council Laboratories in Cambridge, England, fused two types of cells to form a hy
