The Atlantic : In an age when scientists slice, dice, and replicate the human genome for research purposes, is our DNA private property? As ever more countriesâmdash;and even private companiesâmdash;launch spacecraft into the universe, shouldn’t we have clear rules in place about appropriate space etiquette? And with more kids than ever mastering Guitar Hero instead of hitting the books, isn’t there something different we can try to get them excited about math and science?At the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science this week, these were just a few of the topics explored by the scientists, engineers, educators, and policymakers in attendance. The Atlantic takes a look at some of the conversations.
