The scientists who work--and, if they wish, live--at Janelia Farm will, according to director Gerald Rubin, enjoy a peerless intellectual and physical environment that HHMI hopes will spur extraordinary science.
About 20 minutes long, with a three-minute warm-up and 90-second cool-down between each sprint, that workout spurs a science-validated surge of growth hormone that builds muscle, cuts fat and delivers body-changing improvement fast.
'We hope that this incident will further spur the open-science and data transparency movements.' To others, though, the episode was far more troubling.
The X Prizes, a series of $10 million cash awards that aim to spur innovation in space science, genetics and automobile design, are almost entirely funded by the very wealthy.
"The research performed at NSLS-II will probe the fundamental structure of novel materials and help drive the development of low-cost, low-carbon energy technologies, spark advances in environmental science, and spur medical breakthroughs," Moniz said.
The National Nanotech Initiative will spur engineering and physical sciences, which has the potential to benefit different sectors of the economy".
This will spur advances in physical sciences to better quantify observed and projected climate and environmental changes and improve economic analyses of impacts.
Land cover remote sensing has also spurred land-change science, an emergent paradigm linking anthropogenic and natural-system change dynamics using predictive models.
Earth alienation refers to the attempt to escape from the confines of the earth; spurred by modern science and technology, we have searched for ways to overcome our earth-bound condition by setting out on the exploration of space, by attempting to recreate life under laboratory conditions, and by trying to extend our given life-span.
