Science and arsenic's fool's gold: a toxic broth
Journal of Cosmology (2010) 13: 3617-3620
Abstract: Making stable informational polymers in water at 300K limits chemical
variations within extremely narrow borders. This is why the basic atoms
of life — those that are found in meteoritic molecules — are hydrogen,
carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. In these same conditions, management of
energy to support life used the unique property of phosphorus to make
energy-rich metastable phosphoester or polyphosphate bonds. Analysis
of the genome of arsenic-loving bacteria suggests that arsenic can
nevertheless be accumulated in bacteria via formation of innocuous
derivatives that may decorate inert (mostly non informational) biopolymers.
However, arsenic cannot replace phosphorus in this core function of
life. This has been previously firmly established by numerous biochemical
experiments. Likewise, recent claims by Wolfe-Simon et al. (2010) that
this replacement could happen, have not been experimentally verified,
and are based on experiments lacking proper controls; the purpose of
which was to substantiate these beliefs. However, the authors are not
sole to be blamed, but the journals that try to maintain their high
impact factors at all cost, publishing articles that should never have reached
the public.

Motivated research
EMBO Reports (2010) 11: 488 IF 6.907
Opening: Three years ago,
a senior politician attended his country’s Annual Congress for
the Advancement of Science to give the introductory lecture.
He asked the attending scientists to make science and research
more attractive to young students and the general public, and
asked his countrymen to support scientists to address the urgent
challenges of global climate change, energy needs and dwindling
water resources. It was neither a European nor a US politician,
but the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who made this speech
about the relationship between research and its practical applications.
This is such an important topic that one might think it deserves
appropriate attention in Europe, yet we fail to address it properly.
Instead, we just discuss how science should serve society or
contribute to the ‘knowledge-based economy’, or how ‘basic’ or
‘fundamental’ research is opposed to ‘applied’ or ‘industrial’
research and how funding for ‘big science’ comes at the expense
of ‘little academic’ research.
