Brandon Keim
Keim,a correspondent for Wired Science and
a freelance science joumalist,was skeptical about
the U.S.government's massive initiative to map
the human brain."I had some existential issues
with it,"he says,adding that he initially found the
project overambitious and ill-defined.But in the
course of reporting "Big Science Takes on the
Brain"[p.37],he spoke to neuroscientists who were
dividing that daunting task into more achievable
golas."It's great that it's going forward,"he says now.
