 Rutgers genetics professor wins $240,000 Pew Award for brain research
To observe and monitor interaction between neurons, Rongo implanted each worm's DNA with a gene from a certain kind of jellyfish that enables the animal to "fluoresce" or glow in the dark.
Rongo believes that, down the road, his basic research into how neurons are regulated, how they make connections with each other and how genes participate in the process, will lead to better ways to design new drugs to prevent and treat stroke, mood disorders and other neural illness.
Rongo also feels his research should help scientists better understand schizophrenia and mood disorders, since those ailments may stem from forms of defective transmission.

It's also an apt title for this year's Melbourne Millennium Chorus concert, which took as its focus the notion of Australia as an island surrounded by other islands, each with its own musical and cultural traditions.
The chorus was used exceptionally well this year, both vocally and visually, as was the venue itself (with performers appearing on side and upper balconies).

 SPACE.com -- The Legend of Rongo Rongo
The Alaska Whale Foundation has a catalogue of over 500 individual humpback whales, identified by tail fluke (but after a season one can tell them also by their vocalizations).
It was thus that when a brand new humpback whale showed up this last season that the Alaska Whale Foundation folks decided to name the newcomer, "Rongo Rongo." He has quite a unique fluke design — almost two "W"s (with a bit of imagination) on each fin (see picture).
So I guess it is a bit early to tell yet if Rongo Rongo will become a legend or not.

Performance styles range from solo songs with only acoustic guitar accompaniment to tracks augmented with percussion and traditional instruments, and even a full band reggae track written with David Grace - one of few songs on this album sung in English.
This an honest, heartfelt and stirring set of songs, sung beautifully by Black on what's another fabulous album.
