Several years ago several companies in the Boston area were working on ways to clone skin to attach to people needing new skin. One company harvested cells from infant’s foreskin that they collected. Here is a photo in the lab showing the process of skin cloning, from early harvest, to full skin in the back. I shot this for Scientific American Magazine.
Now they have spray-on-skin. Here’s a video of it in action.
It looks like Carlton Fisk dropped the opening pitch. Look at everyone’s expression. No one mentioned this in the press. It set the tone for the rest of the game . . .

The best part was watching Caroline Kennedy, the “Caroline” in the Fenway anthem, singing “Sweet Caroline.” Here she and Mayor Menino throw out the opening pitch.
Her great grandfather, Honey Fitz, then Boston’s mayor, threw out the official first pitch at the new Fenway Park 100 years ago today.
See next post to see the results of the pitch . . .
We had a great assignment covering actual brain surgery for Massachusetts General Hospital‘s new Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation in downtown Boston. The photos were originally to be used in interactive displays in the museum, but one of them wound up on the wall of the museum as a 15 foot enlargement.
The quality of the enlargement from a 1″ camera sensor to 15 feet is truly amazing. Many thanks to the people responsible: The Richard Lewis Media Group and Museum Design Associates.
