The Geography of Innovation
By Jonathan Sallet, Ed Paisley, and Justin Masterman
Government can assume a vital role in which it frames critical national challenges, facilitates the flow of information and expertise to and between regions, and helps finance valuable activities that innovation clusters would otherwise be unable to undertake.
Supporting Health Care Reform Is the Right Thing to Do
By Ruth R. Faden and Jonathan D. Moreno
In supporting health care reform, we can be good citizens and morally responsible neighbors, and still do right by those we love.
How Did the Vaccine Cross the Road?
By Ricardo Rossello, PhD
Vaccines grown in cell cultures, virus-like particles that stimulate the immune system without threat of infection, and antibodies that could attack any flu strain are all promising routes to slowing pandemics.
History Seen Through a Test Tube
By Eli Y. Adashi
In spite of the issues raised by the birth of Nayda Suleman’s octuplets, we should not lose sight of the pioneering IVF research that laid the ground work for a scientific triumph that has helped millions of infertile couples for over 30 years.
