If you're wondering how our food will be grown eons from now, a good place to start your research might be -- not so surprisingly -- in the contemporary art world.

One need only visit the website of one Sam Van Aken, an American artist who's made it his mission to combine the aesthetic of sculpture with the agricultural wonder of planting trees. The literal fruits of his labor turn images of hybridization and metamorphosis, familiar themes in art, on their heads. His project is called "Tree of 40 Fruit," an ongoing series in which Van Aken creates Frankenstein plants that have the capability of producing 40 different types of stone fruit. To do so, he grafts together different varieties of fruit-bearing trees, a method that might seem at home in the laboratory of a mad scientist. At first, Van Aken combines a few types onto the root structure of a single tree, allowing his "working tree" to mature to at least two years old.

Thursday, March 17, 2011 Interest in how we manage our emotions has grown dramatically in recent years, both among researchers and as a practical approach to daily life.

Researchers have discovered that individuals experience variations in intensity, persistence, modulation, onset time, the duration of the rising emotion phase, the range of emotions experienced and their ability to recover from strong emotional responses – these are called “emotion dynamics” (Thompson 1993). Each person has a certain amount of control over these characteristics of emotional response – this ability to influence our emotions is what we mean be the expression “the management of emotions”.
