CMOS Cameras Enter the Life Sciences Market
When a rat decides on a course of action, you can’t ask it what factors played a role in that decision. But Jason Ritt, a postdoctoral fellow at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., had to get as close as possible to doing that as part of basic neuroscience research. Working with trained rats that responded one way to a smooth surface and another to a rough...

Jellyfish Light Up New York
For most people, the word “neon” does not inspire visions of great artwork. In fact, it is more likely to be associated with barroom windows and motel vacancy signs. Eric Ehlenberger, a New Orleans artist and emergency room physician, is changing this perception with his work in luminous sculpture. His most recent exhibit, at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, N.Y., features a group of...
