Foo's paradise

Article Abstract:

Nature magazine, Google and Tim O'Reilly, an influential enthusiast of participative web activities, arranged a talkfest or a science foo, which had no grand manifesto but was essentially a platform for exchange of views among experts in different subjects. Scientists, technologists, writers were invited but formal presentations were not encouraged and the focus centered on spontaneity and stimulation to express ideas.

Days of molecular medicine: Stem cell biology and human disease: Janet Rossant

Article Abstract:

Janet Rossant, a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada, states that her main research focus with stem cells is trying to understand how, in early embryo, one can categorize embryonic stem cells and pluirpotent cells versus other kinds of stem cells. She is also interested in the differentiation of embryonic stem cells toward both hematopoietic and vascular cells.
