The dominant architectural feature is a 134-foot-tall DNA double helix, which serves as a spire, similar to how church would display a cross. That distinct spire was the joint brainchild of Eb Zeidler, the co-architect, and Palm Beach resident Alexander Dreyfoos, a Scripps trustee. (South Florida Business Journal, FL)

But he says he is still awed by the DNA double helix and "the sheer beautiful logic of the periodic table and the exceptions to its logic. That sense of structure determining behaviour was what I hoped to find in science and eventually did find in writing. What is called the creative process is for me often a matter of extrapolating from 'this' to 'that'. If you follow the logic of an idea in that way you can end up in some very strange places.". This approach led his early stories to be... (Guardian Unlimited -- Arts)
Father of Breakthrough Cancer Therapy Dies Jan 16, 2008
Judah Folkman, "the father of antiangiogenesis," a way to starve tumors of blood, died yesterday from an apparent heart attack. " At the time, Folkman's antiangiogenic therapies had successfully shrunk enormous mouse tumors comparable two-pound (0.9-kilogram) masses in humans. And, almost overnight, angiogenesis inhibitors became the cancer therapy du jour. "At the beginning I felt enormous pressure," Folkman said in with Scientific American. "[The news] raised expectations and demand for... (Scientific American)
Epigenetics: New Discoveries About The Protein That Oversees DNA Replication Jan 14, 2008
