Digest #150



Greetings from Woods Hole, MA! Although I've been on my annual summer vacation -- can you tell? -- I've continued to publish articles on Santa Cruz Tech Beat's website. For those of you who wait for this digest to find out what's new, here's a collection of news from the last two weeks.

Coincidently, Beth Shapiro, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UC Santa Cruz, gave the Friday Night Lecture at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole on How to Clone a Mammoth: The Science of De-extinction. You may recall that Beth published a book under the same title last year.

Now, scroll down to find the news you need to know!
