CHRONICLE


		Mapping Out a Future in Science The weeklong Maps in Medicine program aims to spark an interest in science among high school students. More


2010 Holiday Lectures on Science: Viral Outbreak: The Science of Emerging Disease Learn how viruses are thriving—and how scientists are working to fight them. More					Simulating Synapses A three-dimensional computer model exposes the brain’s neuropil, the hub where learning and memory begin. More


Moore Named First COO Cheryl Moore was named the first Chief Operating Officer of HHMI. More Plant Support Funding Announced A new HHMI program will provide vital funding for plant research. More					DIADEM Contest Moves Neuromapping in the Right Direction New computational tools can trace neurons 10 times faster than a human hand. More


Bacteria Helping Bacteria A study on antibiotic resistance shows that bacteria aren’t just out to help themselves. More Capture the Exon, Narrow the Hunt Today’s genetic techniques make it possible to track down disease mutations faster than ever. More					Unequal Parenting Maternal and paternal genes don’t always have the same effect on offspring. More
