Hobble Skirts

From 1909 to 1914, Paris high fashion was dominated by French designer Paul Poiret, who put an end to wasp waists and constricting corsets and revived a simple, Empire-waisted silhouette. He is best known for the hobble skirt, to which he later added draped and belted knee-length tunics.

Dolly, the First Cloned Sheep, Is Born (1996)

Perhaps the most famous sheep in history, Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell through the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique, in which the nucleus of an egg cell is replaced by the nucleus of a cell from the organism to be cloned. In successful cases, the egg cell develops into a healthy fetus, but the success rate of cloning has been low. Of 277 eggs, only 29 created viable embryos, and Dolly was the only one to survive to adulthood. How did she get her name? More...

Baby Brains Respond to Voices and Emotions

Brain scans performed on 21 sleeping babies suggest that the brains of infants as young as three months old can respond to emotions in human voices. When the babies were exposed to recordings of human voices, the area of the brain that in adults reacts to human vocalizations became activated. In addition, when they heard sad sounds, such as crying, the limbic region, which is associated with emotional processes in adults, responded. By identifying when these sorts of brain systems develop, researchers hope to better understand what goes wrong in cases of autism and at what point in development differences arise. More...
