Last February, a toddler in Alberta, Canada, made headlines worldwide after she wandered outside and nearly froze to death. Although her heart stopped beating for two hours and her body temperature was 61 degrees when she was found lying face down in the snow, 14-month-old Erika Nordby made a complete, stunning recovery. . While such recovery from biological limbo seemingly defies scientific o....Using an X-ray machine that accelerates particles close to the speed of light, scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have gotten a backward glimpse into primordial biology, capturing the dance of a genetic fossil in motion..
