More Science StoriesNot by chance: From bacterial propulsion systems to human DNA, evidence of intelligent design is everywhereThis article originally appeared in the December 1, 2005 edition of the National Post of Canada Read More » Terreform"Terreform ONE [Open Network Ecology] is a non-profit design group that promotes green design in cities. Through our creative projects and outreach efforts, we hope to illuminate the environmental possibilities of New York City and inspire solutions in areas like it around the world. Terreform ONE is a unique laboratory for scientists, artists, architects, students, and individuals of all backgrounds to explore and advance the larger framework of green design. The group develops innovative solutions and technologies for local sustainability in energy, transportation, infrastructure, buildings, waste treatment, food, water, and media spaces. TEAM Terreform is a winner of the Infiniti Design Excellence Award - History Channel City of the Future competition." The Cook County, Illinois, Coyote Project"Our limited understanding of how coyotes succeed in urban landscapes hampers management of this animal. Even knowledge of their basic ecology is incomplete. This is important because diets, social behavior, movement patterns and survival may change with urbanization. Nevertheless, as coyotes become increasingly abundant in the cities, so does the need for basic information to develop management strategies. In areas where coyotes have existed with people for some time, such as the southwestern United States, conflicts with coyotes threaten the health and well-being of people and pets. Are extreme conflicts the inevitable result of the relatively recent emergence of coyotes in Midwestern and eastern U.S. cities? What are the full ramifications for people, pets, and other wildlife when this remarkable canid suddenly becomes a neighbor?" Chicago Center For Urban EcologyThe Chicago Center for Urban Ecology (CCUE) represents a convergence of energy and expertise on the part of numerous Chicago organizations, all of which are devoted to bringing about positive change in our system of food production, distribution, and consumption. When fully realized, CCUE will make healthy food available and increase awareness of wellness issues in undeserved neighborhoods, train students and adults for entry into a “green” economy based on concepts of global citizenship, and serve as a powerful statement about the role that urban dwellers can play in the life cycle of a healthy urban ecosystem. Hippocrates Health InstituteDeemed the world's number one teaching institute in 2000 by Spa Management Group, this historic and thriving center was founded by visionary and humanitarian Ann Wigmore and is currently under the leadership of Brian and Anna Maria Clement, PhDs. For a half of a century, the Institute has helped hundreds of thousands of guests realize that good health is every person’s birthright, and that a life free of disease and pain is our human legacy. The Hippocrates philosophy is founded on the belief that a vegan, living, enzyme-rich diet—complemented by exercise, positive thinking and non-invasive therapies—are integral to optimum health.
