Brains behind the biggest and the best
Article Abstract:
Floyd Bloom, chairman of the neuropharmacology department at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California, and president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is profiled in the light of the group's annual meeting which will be held in Denver, Colorado, between 13-18 February 2003. Bloom, who does not believe the role of president of the AAAS is particularly demanding, is a proponent of the cross-fertilisation of ideas across disciplines and has made a career for himself out of taking techniques from other disciplines in order to enrich his own research.

Creationists put in their place by mite of Darwin..
Article Abstract:
Jay Hosler, biology professor and comic strip creator, uses his comic books to present his research and theories about biology to the audience in a manner that will entertain and educate the readers. His works include "Clan Apis", a graphic adventure chronicling the life cycle of an honey bee which has sold out three print runs and shifted 7,000 copies, and "The Sandwalk Adventures", in which he takes on creationists and their teachings via a loquacious follicle mite which lives in one of Charles Darwin's eyebrows.
