Getting a jump on breast cancer
What started with research on a parasite that makes its home in a freshwater snail may someday
end with a cure for breast cancer: Emmanuel Dias Neto, a researcher at the Ludwig Institute in São
Paulo, was investigating the genetics of schistosomiasis, a major killer in Brazil, when he developed
a new method of sifting through reams of genetic data. Dias Neto’s technique focuses on the
dead center of the genes. The central portion of the genes is…… most proteins are concentrated,
and proteins are what define the way in which each gene works. “These proteins make everything
happen,” says Andrew Simpson, director of Brazil’s Human Cancer Genome Project.
Neto’s method has helped unveil the structure of several human tumors, including breast cancer.

Swiss cheese? Roquefort? Is it Gouda? Well… we all know the moon isn’t really made of cheese.
Cheese is just one of the many different images seen in the charcoal-gray, black and white markings
created by various lunar craters and basins.
The most famous of these is “the man on the moon”, whose face looks like a jack-o’-lantern.
But that is not the only figure you can find. The Native American Haida people in British Columbia
see a woman who carries a bucket, while the ancient Greeks believed the full moon was the
goddess Selene riding her silver chariot across the sky.
Animal figures have also been popular. The Chinese see a rabbit in the dark areas and a toad in
the white. A rabbit may be the most common figure seen on the moon, with cultures in southeast
Asia, Korea, and Japan, as well as the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations all discerning a bunny’s
form with ears and tail.
So, the next time there is a full moon, go outside and take a look. What do you see?
