South Korean Academic Scandal

 
Currently Watching

Here's an update of my August 4, 2005 post.
It now appears that the once-esteemed stem-cell scientist, Hawng Woo-suk...well, lied. "He gained international fame in 2004 when he announced the creation of the world's first cloned human embryo in his prestigious laboratory at Seoul National University" according to today's Orange Couunty Register. The research, the results--including his claim to have clone the world's first dog--all faked. Hwang has said he would leave his professorship, but the university has yet to receive a letter of resignation.

I'm sure there's a lesson here.

One last thing, Apple has a terrific site to view movie trailers of upcoming films, Apple Trailers. The letter box format can be viewed in small, medium, large or full screen formats and in most cases, HD (high defintion - though this takes a few moments longer to downlaod, but worth it.). You can even download trailers for your video iPod! Check out Flight 93, the latest film by the director of Bourne Supremacy. This film will generate conversation. Finally, take a look at Mr. Gibson's new project, Apocalypto.

Have a good weekend.

Ooh. Both look very yummy. Flight 93 will get the most media attention hands down and make the victims' families very rich. After living in Mexico, I am entranced by Apocalypto, but I'd probably sit scrunched up in my chair with my fingers in my ears the whole time. I also cannot wait for the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel!! Savvy?

I was commenting on Flight 93..I don't know about the other...but I'm thinking flight 93 will be a look into the lives of the passengers, and how events unfolded on Sept. 11 and how they made the decision to fight the highjackers...have I got it wrong?

obahsomah,

i don't think you're wrong.
who at this time knows?

but one thing will come out it...people will remember that morning.

almost 1600 days have passed sine 9/11. as of this writing, not a car bomb, not a buiding destroyed or American kill in the United States, it appears mr. bush is fulfilling his number one job as president, protecting the lives of the american people.

Yes, I get the Mosaic podcast. I downloaded an NPR science podcast but it made me so mad that I immediately unsubscribed. I'd like to subscribe to Mars Hill,  but they don't have one. So far on my new iPod, I've downloded a few music videos and an entire episode of Lost. Sucks my batteries dry quickly, though...
