Slouching Towards Creation: Peering into the Face of Cloning
"What does it mean? How did they do it? Who will use the technology? Should we clone justbecause we can? Based on these four questions, Time Online presents a glossy multimedia lookat cloning and its implications. ""When Dr. Ian Wilmut and his team from the Roslin Institutecreated a lamb named Dolly, they accomplished what many experts thought was a scientificimpossibility. Unlike offspring produced in the usual fashion, Dolly does not merely take after herbiological mother. She is a carbon copy, a laboratory counterfeit so exact that she is in essence hermother’s identical twin."""

Science in Action: Microbes
"Who first discovered microbes? "It turns out to be a Microscopist called Antony van Leeuwenhoek (Born in Delft, Netherlands, 24 October 1632, died 26 August 1723). He had no formal training in science and from the age of sixteen worked as a draper. This seems a bit of an unlikely background for the person who discovered microbes. What’s even more interesting is that Antony van Leeuwenhoek’s research followed no particular plan and was carried out, largely, with microscopes constructed by himself.""

Microbe Zoo
"Here’s one zoo I’m certain you’ve never visited before: it’s the Microbe Zoo. "Microbial ecology is a rapidly developing scientific discipline. The reasons for this include the realization that microbes are essential for a healthy environment; they are important in helping us understand the mechanics of evolution; and they are important in biotechnology." The zoo is divided into sections that include DirtLand (who knows what evil lurks in that dirt pile? Microbiologists do.), Snack Bar (hmm . . . yummy yogurt), and Space Adventure (microbes on Mars?)."
