FDA Clones Misguided Regulatory Policy
Henry Miller | Jul 8, 2001 | 5 min read

The resulting embryo is then implanted into a surrogate mother that carries the fetus to term. In response to public claims by two groups that they are attem
Investment Career Paths for Scientists
James Kling | Mar 1, 1999 | 6 min read
One year after graduating with a degree in political science, Jim Reddoch caught the molecular biology bug and entered the graduate program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Two years into that program, he already had misgivings. Advisers suggested that, once he had a Ph.D., he was virtually assured of an immediate career in academic research. Watching his fellow graduate students finish degrees and search for jobs, "I found that was not the case at all," he recalls. Here's a
Illustration of newly discovered mechanism allowing kinesin to “walk” down a microtubule. A green kinesin molecule with an attached yellow fluorophore is shown passing through a blue laser as it rotates step by step along a red and purple microtubule, fueled by blue ATP molecules that are hydrolyzed into orange ADP and phosphate groups.
