<jats:p>Almost 2 decades before the Large Hadron Collider at CERN caught a glimpse of the long-sought Higgs boson, physicists began planning a machine that would examine the Higgs in detail and probe for even more elusive particles. Now, the design for that machine, the International Linear Collider, is nearing completion. But can it be built?</jats:p>

<jats:p>The National Institutes of Health has announced a plan to prepare scientists for a range of careers, move students through their Ph.D.s faster, and bolster the pay of postdocs. Officials say the changes are not aimed at reducing or even stabilizing the number of graduates but are intended to improve the training experience.</jats:p>

<jats:p>The suite of genes that governs limb development includes some of the best-studied in the field, but explaining why a hand has five fingers—and why some mutations cause more or fewer to form—has left developmental biologists perplexed. Now, scientists may have an answer from a set of equations noted mathematician Alan Turing developed 60 years ago.</jats:p>

<jats:p>It's rare to see the accused and the accusers in a conflict of interest case end up on the same note. But that appears to be what happened last week when the University of Texas, Austin, accepted an independent review panel's harsh findings, echoing outside critics, about a controversial study conducted earlier this year by the university's Energy Institute.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Biologists have turned plant pest proteins into tools for studying and reshaping genomes of many species.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Zinc finger nucleases and TALENS are not the only up-and-coming genome engineering tools. There are meganucleases that are DNA-cutting enzymes encoded by certain mobile elements, nucleases that might do the job solo, and a potential bacterial defense system.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Predicting when and where rivers will move gigatons of rock and sediment has proved a murky problem; a new generation of electronic smart rocks could clarify matters.</jats:p>

<jats:p> Kudos and criticism greet a landmark new report, filling the largest ever issue of <jats:italic>The Lancet</jats:italic> , on the global burden of disease. </jats:p>

<jats:p>The University of Arizona is betting that a unique trio of artificial hillsides will put an iconic greenhouse back on the map.</jats:p>
