Quotes

...This kind of plankton does not photosynthesize, but gets its red color from the phytoplankton it eats." They add, "If you see red, brown or orange water in Puget Sound, it is likely this bloom. However, Ecology staff urge caution: It could be a toxic algae bloom that is poisonous to humans and animals."
...I said, "Please stop, thatâs completely B S Throw everything away. I forced them to look at jellyfish for an hour. For me, it was all about how do they live under water and create their own light? They donât have solar panel or an electricity bill. What can we learn from their bioluminescence? Thatâs when our studio went back to the drawing board and came up with the idea for glowing paint. The paint absorbs energy from sunlight and releases that energy by glowing in the dark at night."
Physical & Biological Sciences Division: Rachel Doran, Molecular Cell, & Developmental Biology, for the poster presentation "From armor to Achilles heel: Targeting the glycan shield of HIV in novel vaccine strategies."
...an important new treatment option for patients with this disease," said Michael Morrissey, president and chief executive officer of Exelixis. "While we continue to execute on the commercial launch, we remain focused on advancing the cabozantinib clinical development program. The majority of sites for the COMET program, consisting of two pivotal trials in CRPC, are now open, and we continue to expect top-line data in 2014. Beyond prostate cancer, we expect to start additional pivotal trials in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma in the third quarter 2013. In addition, we have a broad and expanding program of earlier stage trials, and updates on some of these trials will be provided at the ASCO Annual Meeting in June."
