GM research `needed urgently to avoid food crisis` GM techniques will help crops survive harsher climates, as populations grow and global warming worsens, says reportResearch to develop genetically modified crops must be stepped up as part of a £2bn 'grand challenge' to avoid future food shortages, an influential panel of scientists said yesterday. In its report, the Royal Society said that GM techniques would be needed to boost yields and help crops survive harsher climates, as the global population rises and global warming worsens.But the report said GM was not the only answer, and that measures to improve crop management, such as improved irrigation, were needed too.Professor David Baulcombe, a plant scientist at the University of Cambridge who chaired the study, said: 'We need to take action now to stave off food shortages. If we wait even five to 10 years, it may be too late.

Science dailyUnion of Concerned Scientists and the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoons Have you seen the comic art for the 2010 Union of Concerned Scientists Scientific Integrity Cartoons? Shown above is a cartoon about science and the Endangered Species Act. The entire calendar shows how “the absurdity of political interference in science is ripe for lampooning-and serves as a constant reminder of how vigilant we must be in defending science from politics.” The comics also highlight the need for the new administration and Congress to create a thriving federal scientific enterprise. of this story » Green OptionsAdded Oxygen During Stroke Reduces Brain Tissue Damage Main Category: Stroke Also Included In: Clinical Trials / Drug Trials ; Genetics Article Date: 20 Oct 2009 - 5:00 PDT Scientists have countered findings of previous clinical trials by showing that giving supplemental oxygen to animals during a stroke can reduce damage to brain tissue surrounding the clot. Topix.netThe Physics Of A Bump In A Rug Scientists often have to make sacrifices for their work. Physicist Dominic Vella chopped his bathroom rug into strips, and L. Mahadevan's coauthor ran off with his bookshelf. With these sacrifices, these two teams were able to glean enough information to revolutionize the world's understanding about the physics of lumpy carpets. Physorg.comScientists find new set of multiferroic materials (PhysOrg.com) -- The trail to a new multiferroic started with the theories of a U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory scientist and ended with a multidisciplinary collaboration that created a material with potential impact on next generation electronics. Physorg.comPhysicists Turn to Radio Dial for Finer Atomic Matchmaking (PhysOrg.com) -- Investigating mysterious data in ultracold gases of rubidium atoms, scientists at the Joint Quantum Institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland and their collaborators have found that properly tuned radio-frequency waves can influence how much the atoms attract or repel one another, opening up new ways to control their interactions.
