Attitudes toward Animals

Teachers of biology in secondary schools are often asked to help students perform surgical or other painful experiments on animals. Such requests usually stem from press reports of organ transplants, space journeys, and similarly dramatic occurrences in science that have struck a young, impressionable mind with a wish to imitate. There are more tangible inducements, too. Cash prizes, free trips, and other emoluments are offered for science-fair projects that have received little or no scrutiny from the humane point of view. The current situation has become so serious that the National Society for Medical Research (NSMR) recently issued a revised set of guiding principles drafted by representatives of nine national scientific societies. The principles are based on a reconsideration of the 1959 and 1968 versions, neither of which had succeeded in preventing gruesome abuse of animals by untrained youths.

Chemical Projects: Research Ideas for Young Chemists

Introduces a new series of Journal articles offering suggestions for science fair projects.

Detection of Polarization by Biological Organisms

FOR, the construction of colour filters Christiansen1 had the idea of using scattering to attenuate unwanted wave-lengths. He used a finely divided isotropic scatterer in an isotropic medium to achieve partial monochromatization. One of us (A. N. F.), in connexion with a Science Fair project on these filters, suggested the use as a scatterer of a bundle of parallel transparent birefringent fibres immersed in an isotropic medium the refractive index of which matched one of the refractive indices of the fibres. Light vibrating in a direction characterized by this index will then be transmitted unattenuated by scattering. A Patent Office search reveals a number of patents involving scattering to attenuate unwanted components2. However, there seems to be no recognition of this method of achieving polarized light in the scientific literature. These patents seem to have been largely overlooked.
