 Foresight Update 28 Page 4
Smalley is quoted as describing molecular nanotechnology as "a very broad field and in many ways, the ultimate playground." Futurist Arthur Shostak of Drexel University is quoted discussing the major social and economic upheaval if nanotechnology succeeds in extending life span or in replicating raw materials, or food.
Second, science, for better or worse, almost always wins; ethical qualms may throw some roadblocks in its path, or affect how widespread a technique becomes, but rarely is moral queasiness a match for the onslaught of science."
One positive aspect of the debate over human cloning is that it creates yet another difficult mixture of science and ethics that will give society practice in dealing with such fusions prior to having to come to grips with the potentially controversial applications of nanotechnology.

 Complexity Digest 2005.25: God is in the Details
The convergence between the science of complexity and successful cases of social evolution indicates that the limits of knowledge extend the frontiers of understanding.
However, it has been difficult to reduce knowledge to numerical form and measurement, particularly in the basic sciences, so that there is little hard data on the linkage between scientific knowledge and growth.
When a cell divides, chromosomes replicate and segregate into two daughter cells; flagella wiggle around to move sperm; cilia beat so mucous doesn't accumulate in the lung; and nerve cells fire by vesicles moving around and releasing their neurotransmitters.

We have previously shown that the proliferative response of T cells to antigenic or mitogenic stimulus decreased with age and that caloric resection (CR) attenuated the age-related decline in proliferation and IL-2 expression.
Three groups of mice were used in these experiments: young (6-month) and old (24-month) control mice and old (24-month) caloric restricted mice.
All procedures for handling the mice were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the subcommittee for Animal Studies at Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital.

 Ruth Engs (ed.): Chpt.9 Controversies book-alcohol control polices have flawed premises
Don Cahalan, Kaye Fillmore, Mark Keller, Selden Bacon, and other knowledgeable researchers have, in diverse contexts, provided variant, but similarly plausible, versions of what might be viewed as an origin myth for this quasi-scientific pseudo-statistic.
Perhaps the most tragic risk in all such manipulations is that the growing use of pseudo-science might eventually discredit the scientific enterprise itself.
