Been in touch with your BFF's lately? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is here to help. Funds from the stimulus act are being used to plan a new social networking site for scientists. The system will be implemented at seven schools which will link researchers across the world, improving ongoing studies, forging collaborations, and leading to new discoveries. Are scientists ready for social networking sites similar to Facebook?

The scientist, Hans Larsson, believes that by flipping certain genetic levers in a chicken embryo, that he can develop dinosaur traits lost long ago. Good idea, or no?

Research out of Vanderbilt University demonstrates that the human ability to multitask is dependent upon training the brain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of a subject's brain, the team was able to see that information passing through the prefrontal cortex was being processed more quickly and efficiently as a result of practice and training. Will practice, as the study suggests, help us become better multitaskers?
