This issue "puts a face on science" by profiling the work and personality of two scientists: Drugs from Deep Down ? Brian Bachmann ? Vanderbilt University Bachmann, a chemist, ventures into caves and peers into Petri dishes to find undiscovered organisms that produce substances with medicinal potential. Mesmerized by Metals ? Amy Palmer ? University of Colorado at Boulder Biochemist Palmer created fluorescent sensors to study the role of zinc and other metals in brain signaling, bacterial infection and diseases like Alzheimer's, diabetes and prostate cancer.
