"The people that shop on Route 7 will continue to shop on Route 7," the governor said at a brief news conference late Thursday morning before she took the first official ride on the 2.1-mile bypass, which went under construction in May 2007 and was finished on schedule. The governor, who moved to Brookfield more than 40 years ago, was accompanied by her husband, Lou, a former airline pilot and longtime member of the Headquarters Fire Co. "The people shopping in Brook­field will still focus on going to  

Public health experts encourage everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 to be HIV tested. The grant is being funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health. Currently, there is insufficient scientific evidence for comparisons.  

The complex corn genome—coming in at a hearty two billion base pairs (compared with the human genome's 2.9 billion base pairs)—has been mapped by more than 150 researchers, who worked for years to decipher the grain's genetic code . It's the most complicated plant genome to be deciphered to date and promises to increase the efficiency of the crop itself. "It sets up our ability to start using three million to five million years of diversity" rather than a few hand-selected traits to improve production,  

In a Nov. 6 letter "Atheists refuse to look at evidence of God," a Roman Catholic writer states that there is tremendous evidence for miracles, a spirit world and the Christian god. Yet he has not produced a single piece of evidence in support of this claim. Why not?

At a recent colloquium sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), US National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins warned that the focus on comparative effectiveness in proposed healthcare legislation under consideration may not be a good thing for the future personalized medicine. Collins is calling for CER to focus more on pharmacogenomic strategies to investigate the efficacy and safety of drugs in genomically defined subpopulations, according to a recent Pharm

A whirlwind of activity is under way to apply the findings of the $3 billion Human Genome Project to improve health care in the United States and around the world. Six years after scientists finished decoding the human genome – the genetic instruction book for life – they're starting to take their new knowledge from the research laboratory to the doctor's office and the patient's bedside. "We hope all this knowledge of the genome will lead to more kinds of therapies," said Francis Collins, who ran the

National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins today (November 17) announced a successor to fill his vacant post as head of NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Eric Green, who has served as NHGRI's scientific director since 2002, will take over the top spot. It's the first time in NIH's history that an institute's director has appointed his own successor.

Green is the perfect choice to be NHGRI director   -Francis Collins

 

It would be great to raise [the NIH's] awareness, and maybe have them actually do an RFA [request for applications] on this   -Adriane Fugh Berman
