The article focuses on the career of Cheng-Ming Chuong, a developmental biologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Chuong has interest on how feathers are generated in adult birds. He decided to try to track down the location of stem cells in feathers. Chuong and his team discovered that in flight feathers, the ring of stem cells tilts towards the side where the quill arises. He plans to continue his characterization of feather stem cells.

In this article the author examines how the ARPANET has shaped the online world. He explores the internet evolution that began on October 29, 1969 when Network Measurement Center's student Charley Kline of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has sent the first message from one computer to another on the ARPANET. The author emphasizes that the internet persists despite the coming and going of many constituents because it is an architecture from interoperability than a fixed network.

The author reflects on the evolution and biodiversity of different species. The author outlines the identification of species with several branches and the implications of diverse radiations to the vertebrate fauna. Furthermore, the author highlights a textbook about the substantial changes from the background tempo of vertebrate evolution written by author Michael Alfaro and colleagues from the University of California, Los Angeles.
