John Rinn
Assistant Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University and Medical School and Senior Associate Member of the Broad Institute
John Rinn takes an unconventional approach to the way biologists think about the human genome. Focusing on large intervening non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs), his work suggests that so-called “junk genes” may actually play a key regulatory role in cell function. Rinn’s finding have been published in Nature, Science and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and he has been named to Popular Science’s “Brilliant 10.” By identifying thousands of new RNA genes in the human genome, he is working toward a better understanding of their importance for human health and disease.
Leila Takayama
Research Scientist, Willow Garage
Leila Takayama studies how people perceive, understand, feel about and interact with robots. What can robots do? Better yet, what should they do, and how? Takayama has been collaborating with character animators, sound designers, and product designers to work toward making both the appearance and behaviors of robots more human-readable, approachable, and appealing. Her findings have appeared in the International Journal of Design, Neural Networks and IEEE Pervasive Computing. Through her research, Takayama is leading the way toward robots that serve their purposes more effectively and intuitively.
Tiffani Williams
Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, Texas A&M University
Tiffani Williams explores new ways to use computation in helping to reconstruct the phylogenetic ways that all organisms are connected. A specialist in bioinformatics and high-performance computing, she is working with a multidisciplinary team to build the Open Tree of Life, showing the previously established links among species and providing tools for scientists to update and revise the tree as new data come in. She has been a Radcliffe Institute Fellow, has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and has published in Science, Evolutionary Bioinformatics and the Journal of Computational Biology. By helping identify how species are related to each other, Williams is providing a framework for new understanding in realms such as ecological health, environmental change, and human disease.

STRANGER
In the world of a future of uncertainty five young with every difficulty they keep inside with word justice, honesty thoughts and acts of compassion, but they do not could do nothing to help other people, they had no power, they had no money.
A scientist evolved much for your time and very rich discovered a very powerful force, the power of the six elements,
for the well of the civilization the destiny of the five young and the scientist are crossed, he perceive those young
are the owners of their discovery, a strange power.

Wernher's blimp is back to operational status & ready for deployment tomorrow to test another drop pod from 25km
More from the weird pseudo-medical pill people at Union Station. They'll be there tomorrow, too.
When I stopped by today, the pills had just finished a round of Guitar Hero. The "doctor" in the display with them seems weirdly protective and not necessarily fond of people with cameras hanging around, which seemed... odd. I mean, she is hanging out in a fake medical lab in the middle of a crowded train station with two people who look like they're acting out levels Dr. Mario.

As a child I loved looking at the covers and the illustrations within my dad's old science magazines. I didn't actually read any, just looked at the pictures. It's still absolutely inspirational stuff.
I have been planning to make a portrait of this new science teacher for a few months now- Its the old story of never enough time and its hard to set up something that works in the schedule. We had discussed doing an environmental portrait out on the ocean with sea kayaks, a hobby of his. I was thinking it over a few days ago, and realized that if we shot at the school, there would be more opportunities in the near future. I thought of doing a portrait in the new theater that has been build, then a flash of an idea came to me. How about in the open air atrium with him in the air filling the space? I asked around and borrowed a mini trampoline, and got a tech guy to stand in for a composition test. From a low angle with the 10mm fish eye lens, I could fit in a lot of the building and have the person fill the fame. Two lights were used- one powered down 1/4 and the other down to 1/32 power. No modifiers were used, this is bare flash as essentially this is like an outdoors shoot anyways.
