 Well-Funded Scientists Map Mouse Brain
Neurosurgeons at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle have begun using the atlas to study the genetics of brain cancers, said neuroscientist Marc Tessier-Lavigne, an institute science adviser who discovered the molecules that trigger connections between nerve cells.
The next project, Jones said, will be to develop a digital, three-dimensional, interactive map of the genes at work in a human brain's neocortex, the outer layer that is the seat of higher thought and emotion, using brains from cadavers as well as tissue removed during brain surgeries.
Scientists hope the brain-mapping research eventually will lead to new discoveries on brain function and disorders such as MS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, epilepsy, schizophrenia and addiction, to cite just a few.

 Innovations: The Swedish Program for Long Term Isolation of High Level Nuclear Waste in Copper Canisters
The Swedish program relies on a series of barriers to prevent the release of radioactive substances (called radionuclides) into the environment or at least delay their re-lease until radioactivity has decayed to safe levels.
Scientists have combined nuclear physics with health-effects data to create a number called the hazard index, which describes how toxic the fuel is at any point in time.
After more than 15 years of extensive study, Swedish scientists concluded that less than two-tenths of an inch (5 mm) of copper will be consumed by corrosion during 100,000 years.

 Questions and Answers About Acrylamide
In April 2002, a group of Swedish scientists presented research that detected trace levels of a probable human carcinogen and neurotoxicant – acrylamide – in some baked and fried foods.
The Swedish study, initially announced in April 2002, was published in the August 14, 2002 edition of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
However, prior to the Swedish study, food was not analyzed for acrylamide since it was not used as an ingredient in foods, nor was it known to be a component of food.

 washingtonpost.com: Iraqi Scientists Quizzed in Private
Drawing from a list of hundreds of Iraqi officials linked to Iraq's former nuclear weapons program, officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are seeking to determine whether Baghdad secretly began rebuilding that program after U.N. inspectors left the country in December 1998 on the eve of a U.S.-British bombing campaign.
While IAEA inspectors have routinely questioned Iraqi scientists at former nuclear weapons sites since they resumed inspections last month, this is the first time that they have asserted their right to conduct face-to-face interviews with individuals without the presence of an Iraqi government minder.
The Bush administration has stepped up pressure on Mohammed ElBaradei, the Egyptian director general of the IAEA, and Hans Blix, the Swedish executive chairman of UNMOVIC, to speed the pace of inspections and to exercise their authority to question some Iraqi specialists outside the country, where they can speak freely without the fear of reprisals.

It is a good day to visit Caltech and get on the waiting list for seats to this afternoon’s public lecture at Caltech by Richard Dawkins, one of the most revered and despised scientists of our time.
Dawkins has just published a controversial new book that will stoke the longstanding debate about whether many scientists are anti-God and anti-religion, especially those in the life sciences.
He says it's the scientist and humanist in him that makes him hostile to religions -- fundamentalist Christianity and Islam come in for the most opprobrium -- that close people's minds to scientific truth, oppress women and abuse children psychologically with the notion of eternal damnation.”
