Thanks for posting the url. It is nice to see these newspaper people trying... The Tribune could have included a little glossary to get people more interested in refreshing their science comprehension...and some links. I suppose with the typical article they're shooting for ninth grade comprehension--or at least that sort of attention span. Then on the weekends they will flesh out an idea and shoot for the type of person who will read a whole page--the sort that will read a magazine article all the way through. I re-read the Time article which followed the ENMD fiasco last Spring, heheh, you are not going to see a lot of writers that are going to have the guts to write articles which suggest anything is on the verge of producing blockbusters for awhile. But I am sure that biotechnology, and gene therapy perhaps specifically, will be the blockbuster of the next few decades. Thanks again, keep your eyes peeled...someday folks will start swapping their MSFT and DELL for something else.
