Post Patriot Act Pathogen Research: Less Bang Per Buck

Scientific American — Tue, 11 May 2010 11:45:08 +0000

The Patriot Act and the Bioterrorism Preparedness Act were passed in 2001 and 2002. These laws in part cover research on pathogens and toxins thought to have potential as bioweapons.

The Bush administration increased funding for research on such toxins and pathogens–but the laws added a great many procedural steps for such research, and restricted who could work with the microbes. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon recently evaluated the impact of the laws on research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . [Elisabeth Casman et al, http://bit.ly/ddGnoX ]

Tornado Surrounded by Instruments as Scientists Aim to Catch Their “Perfect Storm”

Scientific American — Sat, 01 May 2010 15:00:00 +0000

On May 1, more than 100 scientists will head out to the Midwest for the second part of VORTEX2 , the most ambitious study of tornadoes in history. They plan to hunt down and literally surround twisters with a fleet of mobile radars, weather balloons, and ground instruments. This is VORTEX2’s second and final season and the hope is to better understand how and when a tornado will form. [More]

When Will We Be Able to Build Brains Like Ours?

Scientific American — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:00:00 +0000

When physicists puzzle out the workings of some new part of nature, that knowledge can be used to build devices that do amazing things — airplanes that fly, radios that reach millions of listeners. When we come to understand how brains function, we should become able to build amazing devices with cognitive abilities — such as cognitive cars that are better at driving than we are because they communicate with other cars and share knowledge on road conditions. In 2008, the National Academy of Engineering chose as one of its grand challenges to reverse-engineer the human brain. When will this happen? Some are predicting that the first wave of results will arrive within the decade, propelled by rapid advances in both brain science and computer science . This sounds astonishing, but it’s becoming increasingly plausible. So plausible, in fact, that the great race to reverse-engineer the brain is already triggering a dispute over historic “firsts.” [More]
