An international science team that includes Professor of Biology Gary Wessel and Professor of Computer Science Sorin Istrail analyzed the sea urchin genome and found that the creature shares more than 7,000 genes with humans. Their research could lead to new drugs for human ills. This article also appeared on the MSNBC Web site.

Biology Professor Gary Wessel, a member of the Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Consortium, discusses his work, noting that “results of the genetic sequencing held an unusual surprise. ... The eyeless urchins can see. Genes associated with vision are active in the urchins' tube feet, suggesting that their limbs can sense light.”

The moon’s surface is far more active than previously thought. According to Brown geologists Peter Schultz and Carle Pieters, and Matthew Staid of the Planetary Science Institute, gases released from beneath the surface continue to shape the lunar landscape.

Brown planetary geologists Peter Schultz and Carle Pieters have nailed down a location where the moon may still be active. Their work indicates that volcanic eruptions could have taken place within very recent geologic history.

Dwight Heath, professor emeritus of anthropology, shares his perspective on “happy-hour play dates” in which mothers sip alcoholic beverages while their children play together. The trend has come under criticism, but Heath notes that the practice “is not really exotic behavior,” and that “in this culture there is a still a double standard. It is more acceptable for men to drink, more often, and in greater quantities, and in public.”
