My dad is a chemical engineer - a brilliant man. He was layed-off from work two years ago and hasn't been able to find work due to his age and experience level. A few months ago, he took ... a job at a local grocery store as a bagger. My mom and I stopped to see him at work recently, while we were running errands. I"m so proud of my dad - my dad, a great engineer, humbles himself day after day as a bagger. When I saw him I ...

... for getting a desired gene into a plant. One technique makes use of a soil bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The BBC News explains that this microbe, nicknamed the " first genetic engineer", has the ability to insert sections of DNA into plants. The bacterium naturally does this to force the plants to produce the particular chemicals it needs to survive. Scientists have ...
