...nt. Gene therapy might be able to change that. In fact, CNN has reported a complete cure in a very ill teenager in France. Pre-Natal Therapy But now things get more complicated. What if the therapy could be applied to a child before they were born? Pre-natal screenings can identify certain kinds of illnesses and conditions in the developing fetus.

Science Education Under Attack—The Language Barrier

...e generations from a time when its original meaning was well understood. A common example of the first case comes from medicine. One doesn’t have a “heart attack,” one has a myocardial infarction. Myo- refers to muscle and cardial refers to the heart. Dictionary.com defines an infarct as “a localized area of tissue, as in the heart or kidney, that is dying or dead, having been deprived of its blood supply because of an obstruction by embolism or t...Read More

Would You Accept a Pig-Grown Human Organ Transplant?

...ically modify the pig embryos so the organs would be either fully human or compatible enough that the risks associated with transplantation would be similar to those from human-to-human transplants. Animal-grown organs could also, in theory, relieve today’s ongoing shortage of human donors for many organs.

Science Education: Medicine and the Citizen

...ich in turn also affect your stomach. That interconnectivity is a layer of complexity on top of the complexity of how each part itself works. No organ is made of just one kind of cell, and within each organ, the cells talk to each other via chemical signals, changing their behavior and the chemical signals they in turn put out. And of course, what’s going on inside each cell is its own level of complexity. According to various web sites, including...Read More

Fight the Power (Company)–and Burglars

...un by an administrative law judge. Photo by Luis Relampago, via freeimages.com Earlier this month, Judge Martin finally released her “Recommended Opinion and Order” (ROO). We were delighted to see that she largely sided with those of us who opposed what SSVEC wanted to do. But there was one more step in the process. The ROO is a recommendation, not the final decision. That has to be made by the ACC and last Thursday, it was item #33 on a 34 item h...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 49 — Head-Hopping

Image by Zela, from RGBstock.com This article doesn’t have anything to do with drug-addled frogs (or any kind of frogs, for that matter), mid-twentieth century actress and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, or some strange horror movie. Or some even stranger Addams Family-meets-Mitch Miller sing-along show: “Follow the bouncing head and sing along to….” (Man, that’s really weird.) No, fortunately, head-hopping in the context of writing is a form of p...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 47 — Danglers

...role was never concluded. The reviewer doesn’t have many good ways to overcome this incompletion problem. He needs (a) a really good memory for the details of the story, (b) to have gotten enough of the story in a short enough time to have the chance to catch the dangler, or (c) that stroke of good luck—which usually comes at an inopportune time—in which he suddenly realizes, “Hey, what about…?” Catching that Dang Dangler So if catching and fixin...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 46 — Padding

...g or depth. A writer can pad her work in a number of ways. One of the most common is with backstory, that background material that explains why and how the hero got into his predicament in the first place; why the antagonist is the way she is, starting back in her deprived childhood; the histories of the remote monastery they now find themselves trapped in and the ascetic monks who first built it, and so on and so on. The reader needs to know all...Read More

Then, just last week, CNN.com carried two stories (you can read them here and here) about a SARS-like virus called Middle East Respiratory Symptom Coronavirus, or MERS-CoV. This time there were 49 known cases with 27 fatalities, for a 55% mortality rate. So, CNN got all excited, especially when Dr. Margaret Chan, the head of the World Health Organization, who ought to know better, called the virus “...Read More

Great Stuff for Writers, April 22, 2013

...tle, this one by Sophie Masson (@SophieMasson1). She provides only 4 tips, compared to Kris Montee’s 10, but they’re also good: titles can be simple but complex, poetic, or mysterious can work as well. Theme, atmosphere, setting, or characters can also provide the keys. Bottom line: keep your mind and mental ear open for that magic phrase. Giving your story a satisfactory ending is one of the surest ways to bring your reader back for more. So how...Read More
