The 2019 discovery of high temperature superconductivity in layered nickelate films, Nd$_{1-x}$SrNiO$_2$, has galvanized a community that been studying nickelates for more than 30 years both as cuprate analogs and their own right. On the surface, infinite layer nickelates, multilayer analogs, should be promising candidates based on our understanding cuprates: square planar coordination parent d...

Renato Dulbecco died on February 19, 2012, three days shy of his 98th birthday. He had a remarkable career in science that spanned over 60 years. In 1948 he published, with Salvador Luria, his first real scientific paper in Genetics on bacteriophage genetics and in 2008 published his last paper in PNAS on breast cancer tumor-initiating cells. In the intervening years, Dulbecco helped to deciphe...

Conrad and Lieber, and two on Western Europe by Nutton and Touati. It is introduced by Conrad and Wujastyk, organizers of a conference on contagion at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine in 1993, on which the volume is based. The book is particularly useful in presenting a global picture of the notion of contagion in various pre-modern societies by first looking at the terms that...

Since its heyday in the 1980s and 90s, the field of developmental biology has gone into decline; in part because it has been eclipsed by the rise of genomics and stem cell biology, and in part because it has seemed less pertinent in an era with so much focus on translational impact. In this essay, I argue that recent progress in genome-wide analyses and stem cell research, coupled with technolo...
