Tuesday Morning Science News

By apalazzo on March 7, 2006.

Want to study lava? From the NY Times ... Fudge, corn syrup, and whiskey will do.

And I love this quote about science conferences:

The poster session, which resembled a science fair for professional scientists, was dedicated to innovative lecture demonstrations.

New study out in PLoS on the spread of gene variants across the human population - NY Times article. I still have to look at the original article, but I'm sure others at Scienceblogs will comment on it (Evolgen).

OK on to local news. Two good OpEds in the Boston Globe on state support for biotech/biomedical/life sciences and the integration of public higher education with biotech/medicine.

Another item from the NYTimes on how MIT will match Pell Grants to aid students from lower income households.
