Random Quote
(Complete listing)I'm not going to so my maths homework. Look at these unsolved problems. Here's a number in mortal combat with another. One of them is going to get subtracted. But why? What will be left of him? If I answered these, it would kill the suspense. It would resolve the conflict and turn intriguing possibilities into boring old facts.
I never really thought about the literary possibilities of maths.
I prefer to savour the mystery.

My friends at the Institute for Systems Biology (in Seattle) started a seminar series entitled; "Who says women don't take risks?" after Watson came to the ISB and shared his view that women are unable to think 3 dimensionally, take risks, or be entrepreneurs.
The least we can do is take his genome apart.

I think we should establish prize money for the first team to successfully breed a Venter/Watson hybrid.

If you go to wikipedia's entry for James Watson, there's a cute little box at the right of the page titled "DNA Pioneers" with the following linked names:
William Astbury
Oswald Avery
Erwin Chargaff
Max Delbrück
Jerry Donohue
Raymond Gosling
Phoebus Levene
Linus Pauling
Sir John Randall
Erwin Schrödinger
Alec Stokes
Herbert Wilson
Rosalind Franklin's name doesn't appear, even though the same box with the same names appears on her wiki page.
