Ocean Instrument Program Led By Scripps Set To Achieve World Coverage
An ambitious idea spawned more than 20 years ago to develop a new way to watch the world change has come to fruition. The Global Drifter Program (GDP), largely led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and Scripps Distinguished Professor Peter Niiler, will meet its lofty goal of blanketing the globe on Sept. 18 when the program's 1,250th instrument is dropped in the ocean off Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Brown, a mathematics and physics librarian at Princeton University. Scientists Investigate Initial Molecular Mechanism That Triggers Neuro
Chemists have solved a decade-long molecular mystery that could eventually help scientists develop drug therapies to treat a variety of disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Using intensive theoretical and computational calculations, researchers have modeled the initial molecular changes that occur when the neurotransmitter glutamate docks with a receptor on a neuron, which sets in motion a chain of events that culminates in the neuron firing an electrical impulse.
