<jats:p> At this year's AAAS annual meeting, it was reported that infants can distinguish between two languages they've never heard before just by looking at the face of a speaker, methane from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill may be migrating undigested, a seaweed could be used to fight malaria, and overfishing has <jats:bold /> drastically altered the balance of biomass in the world's oceans. </jats:p>

<jats:p>A spending bill passed by the House of Representatives last week would bring the Department of Energy's entire science program to a screeching halt and wreak havoc on research funded by other agencies and by private industry.</jats:p>

<jats:p>A bat ecologist has discovered that the weather strongly affects the behavior of at least one bat species, she and her colleagues reported on 19 February at the AAAS annual meeting.</jats:p>

<jats:p> Last week, Nico Schlaefer, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University and an IBM Ph.D. Fellow, told <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> about the algorithm he contributed to the now-world-famous Watson computer. </jats:p>

<jats:p>Wu You Zhi Xiang, a loose-knit group known in English as Utopia, is gathering signatures on an open letter denouncing genetically modified (GM) crops.

But Utopia's actions may well slow commercialization of GM foods.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Concern that CT scan radiation is causing cancer has focused public scrutiny on radiologists and medical physicists—and riled up controversy among them. Can they find a solution?</jats:p>

<jats:p>In 2005, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) created and implemented a program that scores the appropriateness of a CT scan every time a doctor orders one and compares its worth to that of other imaging techniques given the patient's symptoms. As a result, the quarterly growth rate in MGH's use of CT scans has dropped from 3% to 0.25%.</jats:p>
