Century of Sea Change
San Diego Union-Tribune, Sept. 24- The first 100 years of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography marked an early age of exploration, when scientists probed the sea floor, mapped deep currents and discovered strange life forms in the murky depths. Now, as Scripps - one of the world's most important research centers - enters its second century this week, it is evolving and undertaking vast new missions. (Quote by Charles Kennel, director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.)

This Centennial Begins with Sea
San Diego Union-Tribune, Sept. 24- Unlike life itself, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography did not emerge from the sea, but merged beside it, erected through the vision and efforts of some of the world's greatest scientists. As tomorrow marks the centennial of SIO, we'll take a look back at some of SIO's biggest milestones.

Computer Scientist Tackling DNA
Associated Press, Sept. 23-A team of researchers at the University of New Mexico headed by Bernard Moret will spearhead a five-year, multimillion-dollar effort announced last week to compare organisms' DNA, the genetic blueprint for each unique organism. The tree of life Moret envisions would map out the relationships among living things as they evolved. The project, announced by the National Science Foundation, also will involve the University of California, San Diego.

Say It With Flowers
LA Weekly, Sept. 18-UCSD professor Kim MacConnel, a pioneer in the art form Pattern Decoration, is having his work featured at the Santa Monica Museum retrospective, "Parrot Talk." The show, which opens Saturday, is the hub of a piecemeal survey of P&D history and traditions drolly titled "The LAPD Project," taking place at six separate venues in Bergamot Station and orchestrated by critic and increasingly busy curator Michael Duncan.
