Extractions: Genetically modified (genetically engineered) food is from crops that have been modified in the laboratory to contain genes that protect them from pests or affect their quality. Currently the technology demands that each construction should include a desirable gene, say to guard against pests, and an array of genes including virus genes and antibiotic resistance genes that are required for technical reasons. Crops currently on the market include soybean, corn, canola, cotton seed oil and potato. In North America the genetically modified (GM) crops are mixed with crop that has not been altered and placed on the market without identifying labels. In Europe the public demanded identifying labels or restrictions on such crops. The crops have not been tested using animal studies and studies with human volunteers as is required for pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs. The decision not to label or to test extensively is based on a concept called "substantial equivalence," a belief that GM crops are equivalent in nutritional quality to crops that have not been genetically engineered. GM crops are present in most of the processed foods marketed in North America. A mild-mannered Hungarian, Arpad Pusztai, immigrated to Scotland and rose to become a world authority in the important field of plant lectins at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland. Plant lectins are proteins that bind to sugar molecules that form part of the cell surface of mammalian cells and are involved in signaling for cell growth and metabolism. Lectins are also toxic to pests that browse on the plants. Dr. Pusztai shook the world of genetic engineering to its very foundation when he fed rats potatoes that had been modified with a lectin gene from the snow drop flower. Even though some lectins are highly toxic to humans, the developers of the GM potato believed that it would be toxic to insects, nematodes and fungi without harming mammals. To his surprise and alarm Dr. Pusztai found that rats fed the GM potato suffered damage to their immune system and digestive system.

Extractions: by Kim MacQueen When most people think of viruses, they see disease and decline; the face of a friend who's succumbed to AIDS or a child with the flu. Or the TV images of African families clad in white face masks, burying scores of victims of the lethal strain of Ebola that hit Kikwit, Zaire last spring. Viruses like HIV have so far outsmarted science's best efforts to stymie their progress; when new drugs are developed to kill them, they simply mutate-with stunning swiftness-into forms that are impervious to the drugs' effects. As if mocking researchers, under the electron microscope Ebola looks for all the world like a question mark. Florida State's Donald L.D. Caspar is one of the world's first scientists to have recognized the beauty and symmetry of viral structure. Caspar (Ph.D. Yale), has been peering inside molecular assemblies, postulating on their structure and function and enriching our knowledge of the basic chemical building blocks of life since the 1950s. His work on viruses has helped biologists for four decades understand how these complex infectious packages are assembled. Caspar is a pioneer in structural biology, an offshoot of molecular biology that uses imaging techniques and molecular modeling to characterize the 3-D structures of viral and other organic molecules too small to be viewed with a microscope. He's investigated the structure and assembly of the tobacco mosaic virus-the world's first identified virus and, for the last hundred years, scientists' primary blueprint for viral structure-since his days as a Yale graduate student in the 1950s. Since then, his laboratory has been busy: he provided the first detailed structural studies of the cancer-causing polyomavirus, plus unprecedented information about how atoms move in protein molecules. His broad range of work on viruses, membranes and protein assemblies has formulated guiding principals that are milestones in structural biology, the science whose name he is credited with coining.

Extractions: Gregory J. Morgan I am a seventh year PhD student in philosophy at Johns Hopkins University writing a dissertation in the history and philosophy of science. I was born in Dunedin , New Zealand and raised on a 30,000 acre high country sheep station (ranch) in mountainous Central Otago . Due to our isolation, I was sent to Otago Boys' High School , a boarding school in Dunedin, at the age of 12. After high school, I enrolled at University of Otago gaining a BA in economics , a BS in biochemistry , and a Dip Grad in medical ethics . While at University of Otago I was member of Knox College and was elected President of the Students' Executive . I have recently begun collecting some updates from Knoxies of the period. In my senior year, I was selected to be Otago University's first exchange student at University of California at Berkeley . I resided at International House (IHouse). It was in liberating Berkeley, after reading a book by Rudolf Carnap and taking a class with Prof. Lisa Lloyd , that I decided to pursue a career in the philosophy of science. I returned to New Zealand and began to study philosophy under the mentorship of Prof. Paul Griffiths

Extractions: HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Durban was then a relatively sleepy town in subtropical surroundings. It was a fine place for a boy - there was the beach and the bush and school was not too taxing. I went to a good school, Durban High School, which was run on traditional English lines, with a curriculum somewhat adapted to South African circumstances. We had some good masters particularly in History and English. However, by the standards of to-day, there were few challenges other than Advanced Latin Prose Composition in the 6th Form. The philosophy of the school was quite simple - the bright boys specialised in Latin, the not so bright in science and the rest managed with geography or the like. There was a good library but it was the playing fields that kept one out of mischief. I did not feel a particularly strong call to any one subject, but read voraciously and widely and began to find science interesting. It was the book called Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif, well known in its time, which influenced me to begin medicine at university as a way into microbiology. At the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, I took the pre-medical course and, in my second year, I took, among other subjects, biochemistry, or physiological chemistry as it was then called, which stood me in good stead in later years when I came to face biological material. However, I felt the lack of a deeper foundation, and moved to chemistry and this in turn led me to physics and mathematics. So finally I took a science degree.
