[Editors] Top MIT research stories

[Elizabeth Thomson]

Hi Everybody!

As you know, some 1,000 science writers will be in town next month  
for the national meeting of the American Association for the  
Advancement of Science. As a result, my colleague Patti Richards and  
I are preparing a list of especially hot MIT research stories/people  
to pitch to some of those reporters. We have our own ideas, of  
course, but I wanted your input as well. So please send me a list of  
your top 5 stories/researchers from over the last year or so. It  
would be great if you could include a link to a story you've written  
about that person/topic, or a few sentences about why this person/ 
topic is so great.

Extra points for especially visual stories. I just learned from a Pew  
Internet and American Life Project survey (Nov. '06) that TELEVISION  
is first as a science news source for Americans (41% of respondents).  
It was followed by the internet (20%), and newspapers/magazines (14 %).

Thanks!

Elizabeth
