News Brief

 

Find an article in a major research journal like Science or Scientific American on a recent scientific breakthrough and write a three paragraph news brief capturing the controversy and excitement of it all. Your article should start with a catchy opening phrase that will make people want to read the rest of the story, like

"Scientists have forgotten all they once knew about memory."

"In a world of cyberdreams, Dr. X is a living nightmare."

"Rutgers bio-geologist Dr. Y has discovered that men really are islands."
