	Universal Rule
		Academics to advise on European research: "Academics from throughout Europe to advise EU commission on which research projects to fund.
		The well-known Finnish bioscience researcher Leena Peltonen-Palotie is thus now a member of the European research council (ERC).
		Simulated society may generate virtual culture: "A society of virtual "agents[per thou] - each with a remarkably realistic personality and the ability to learn and communicate - is being crafted by scientists from five European research institutes who hope to gain insights into the way human societies evolve."

	Finland
		Expertise in genetic research in Finland and the special features of the region have also been noted by the EU, because in September 2002 Finland received an appropriation of 13.5 million euros to coordinate a project into twin research that involves research workers from seven countries.
		Pioneering research work into genes has been done for more than 20 years by Professor Leena Peltonen-Palotie and her group at Helsinki University and the Gene Department at the National Public Health Institute.
		She returned to her home country in the autumn of 2002 just to coordinate the European twin research after four years of research at the University of California.

	Snipping away at the causes of disease, etc.
		The unravelling of the human genome, in particular, is providing a massive amount of information about the causes of diseases that just a few years ago could only have been dreamed of.
		Perhaps the human genome project’s biggest surprise so far is that the number of genes is much lower than had been predicted, as Professor Leena Peltonen-Palotie of the department of medical genetics and molecular medicine at the University of Helsinki explained at the conference.
		Although some big strides have been made in understanding how our genes cause illness and cause interactions with medicines, we are still a very long way from a comprehensive understanding of what each gene does.
