Roll-Your-Own Microarrays
Jim Kling | Jan 6, 2002 | 3 min read
CDNA microarrays hold great promise for characterizing disease and performing genetic studies, but they're not exactly an out-of-the-box technology just yet. Often the scientists must prepare their own chips. Yet, this process is limited by the amount of space on the array itself—forcing researchers to make choices about which genes to include in their sample. Clinical microarray applications are further limited by the availability of sufficient cell numbers for testing purposes. Illumina

PRIZE WITH A PRICE: Science historian Peter Galison has taken some ribbing from his family since being named a MacArthur fellow. One could almost pity Peter Galison. A historian of science at Harvard University, Galison is one of seven members of the scientific community among the 23 recipients of this year's John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowships. The coveted five-year awards provide unrestricted support plus health insurance to talented individuals, with no reports or proj
In Summer, Science Programs Abound For Kids And Teens

From Alabama to Wyoming, educators are worrying that not enough is being done to make the study of science more interesting for elementary and high school students in the United States. Indeed, those concerned about the scientist shortage that is expected to hit the U.S. in the mid-1990s believe that boosting science education is the key to getting more young people interested in taking up a science career. A wide variety of community and national organizations have risen to this challenge, com
