Could lab-grown plant tissue ease the environmental...

January 20, 2021

It takes a lot to make a wooden table. Grow a tree, cut it down, transport it, mill it … you get the point. It’s a decades-long process. Luis Fernando Velásquez-García suggests a simpler solution: “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.” Researchers in Velásquez-García’s group have proposed a way to grow certain plant tissues, such as wood and fiber, in a lab. Still in its early stages, the idea is akin in some……

Secrets From Tel Aviv’s ‘Eclectic’ Era Are...

January 19, 2021

Some time during the 1920s, poet Hayim Nahman Bialik took an unauthorized shortcut through the grounds of Jacob Gluska’s construction factory. Gluska’s brother caught Bialik on the property and rebuked him. Bialik, an arrogant Tel-Avivian who was also Israel’s national poet, did not appreciate the remark, and they came to blows. In 2009, almost a hundred years after the slap that stopped Bialik from taking any more factory shortcuts, Bialik’s home was restored to its former grandeur and opened……

She shared her lab’s work during the MIT Department of Biology’s Independent Activities Period (IAP) seminar series,……

Lerwick Public Sign Snail in Lerwick, Scotland

January 19, 2021

Considering that both the Shetland pony and Shetland sheepdog are named their archipelago of origin, it makes perfect sense that they would somewhat be considered its animal symbols. The pony is even featured on Shetland’s coat of arms, while other domesticated animals, such as the Shetland sheep and Shetland duck, can represent the island’s culture. The creature that appears sporadically across Shetland’s capital is a much more unlikely representative. It has no real cultural connection to the land, and……

Faidherbe Bridge in Saint-Louis, Senegal

January 19, 2021

The town of Saint Louis, set on an island at the mouth of the Senegal River, is a must-see location if you are traveling through Senegal. At the end of the 19th-century when the country was still a French colony, the governor decided that the old bridge composed of 40 floating pontoons needed to be replaced. The links of the new bridge were crafted by Gustav Eiffel and were originally designed to cross the Danube. In 1897, the bridge officially……

January 19, 2021

Despite a pandemic that sparked a global recession, 2020 was still a record year for venture capital investments into American startups. According to data shared by PitchBook and the National Venture Capital Association, investors poured $156.2 billion into domestic startups last year, or around $428 million for each day of the year.
