Displaced Researchers Scramble To Keep Their Science Going

摘要

Despite huge personal losses, New Orleans scientists are hurrying to recreate their labs and lives with some help from the government. Tulane University biochemist Arthur Lustig is still reeling from Hurricane Katrina. He spent 4 days hunkered down inhis New Orleans lab before being evacuated by helicopter, then another miserable night in a shelter. His house was likely lost to flooding, and he's not sure whether the 20 years' worth of yeast strains he uses to study telomeres survived the power outage.
