OT: Kudos To Paul Allen
Obviously, there's more to life than basketball..............
From: PR Newswire
Quote:
SEATTLE, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The completion of the Allen Institute
for Brain Science's inaugural project signals a remarkable leap forward in
one of the last frontiers of medical science -- the brain.
The Institute today announced the completion of the groundbreaking
Allen Brain Atlas, a Web-based, three-dimensional map of gene expression in
the mouse brain. Detailing more than 21,000 genes at the cellular level,
the Atlas provides scientists with a level of data previously not
available.
Since humans share more than 90 percent of their genes with mice, the
Atlas offers profound opportunity to further understanding of human
disorders and diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy,
schizophrenia, autism and addiction. About 26 percent of American adults --
close to 58 million people -- suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in
a given year.............................

Cheesecake, anyone? (the edible kind, not the "other")

The Allen Institute for B.S.?
j/k, i think it's nice that he spends money like this... I wouldn't start a "Yay PA" thread about how great it is, but it's cool.

Re: OT: Kudos To Paul Allen
I've often been asked if "if I am a man or a mouse" but now I do not know!

Re: OT: Kudos To Paul Allen
Better watch out, Paul, if you say people and mice share 90% of their brains someone might connect it to <gasp!> evolution!

I was under the impression that both kinds were edible.

Whenever I have a problem with this issue, I simply recite, "Are we not men? We are Devo".
So from this logic, "de-evolution", the order would be Mice to Men to Mice.

Why? You are offended by oblique references to scantily clad women?
I'll speak to the admin's about having the word "cheesecake" autocensored.
