  • DNA - Encoded Messages - Dennis Overbye - Essay - New York Times: To create the ultimate time capsule as part of the millennium festivities at this newspaper, they proposed to encode a year?s worth of the New York Times magazine into the junk DNA of a cockroach. ?The archival cockroach will be a robust repository,? Mr. Lanier wrote, ?able to survive almost all conceivable scenarios.? If cockroaches can be archives, why not us? The human genome, for example, consists of some 2.9 billion of those letters ? the equivalent of about 750 megabytes of data ? but only about 3 percent of it goes into composing the 22,000 or so genes that make us what we are.

  • Cognitive Daily: Human children versus apes: Who's better at tracking hidden objects, and why: "By 10 months, the phenomenon has vanished and the baby behaves like any older child would, clearly realizing that the book is hidden under the blanket and immediately uncovering it. But 10-month-olds will make another error. If you have two possible hiding spots (say, a white blanket and a blue blanket), you can easily "trick&qu ot; the baby. First, hide the object under the white blanket. While she watches, move it to the blue blanket. Then let her search for the object. She will look first under the white blanket, despite having seen the object move."
