"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like the fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac

"Biology is just exploding out there. We're actually reaching a level where you find yourself imagining questions that a year ago you couldn't even formulate. There's a whole realm out there of biological materials that have been developing because nature has needed to produce them. If you work on something for about a billion years, you can be sure it's going to work pretty well. "

An interesting interview with Susan Lindquist

You know how people like to ask what you would do if you had a million dollars? Well....I know my answer....I would buy rad books like this one. Until then, I will settle for waiting for it to come to a library near me.

A pig, some genes from spinach, and a little genetic engineering....sounds like science fiction? No...its just a way to make healthier pork.

I had to post this site.....blogging this is like a tribute to Daria, which I can safely say is one of my favorite tv shows ever. The series ended with the last Daria Movie, "Is it College Yet?" on Monday, January 21, 2001. It was a beautiful thing...and I will miss the show dearly *sniff*.

This article goes hand in hand with something I blogged late last year. Earlier I blogged a link to a screen saver you could download that uses your computer's processing power to help cure cancer. Now they are doing the same thing to find an anthrax treatment. As of now, all they can do for anthrax victims is to treat them with antibiotics, but that only works if they catch it early. Now they are just searching for treatments in general. Pretty cool...

Voyage of the Nano-Surgeons
Topic: Biology 8:08 pm EST, Jan 19, 2002

NASA-funded scientists are crafting microscopic vessels that can venture into the human body and repair problems

...

"The purpose of these nanoparticles is to introduce a new type of therapy -- to actually go inside individual cells ... and repair them, or, if there's a lot of damage, to get rid of those cells," explains James Leary of the University of Texas Medical Branch. Leary is leading the research along with Stephen Lloyd, and Massoud Motamedi, also from the University of Texas; Nicholas Kotov of Oklahoma State University; and Yuri Lvov of Louisiana Tech University.

See, this is really rad stuff...if things like this ever do really work, our whole world of medicine will be transformed. My question is, what are they doing to prevent an immune response when they inject these little capsules into the bloodstream? Because unless they program them to look like "self" to someones immune cells, people will have nasty immune responses to these little things. It will be like an allergic reaction from hell.
