USIA, U.S. Foreign Policy Agenda, December 1996 - RichardSolomon, "FORGING NEW WAYS TO MANAGE CONFLICT
We believe the conference will be pathbreaking in helping peoplethink through how the world is changing and how new technologiescan be used for the peaceful resolution and management ofinternational conflict. The use of the "virtual mapping"capacity that played an important role in the Dayton negotiationson Bosnia is an example of how it is possible to meld technologywith diplomacy to advance negotiated solutions to variousdisputes. ... SOLOMON: There has been an interesting systematicevolution in our work and programs. In the mid-1980s we focusedon our grant program, which stimulated the academic community andthe "think-tank" world to develop the intellectual base ofunderstanding about processes of conflict management andresolution.

Department of State Washington File: Text: International Team Uses DNA to Find Origins of Illegal Ivory
Wasser and his colleagues have trained narcotics-detection dogs to find the droppings from endangered species over large remote areas. The dogs can track up to 18 species at once at distances greater than a quarter-mile. Such non-invasive techniques can be used to quickly assemble genetic reference maps to apply this technology to other at-risk species. ... Biologist Samuel Wasser of the University of Washington and an international team of researchers extracted DNA from elephant droppings and skin biopsy samples collected from locations in 16 African nations. They used the information to build a DNA-based reference map to assign tusk origin. They noted genetic differences in populations from one location to another and used a statistical method to extrapolate genetic signatures to fill in gaps between sampled populations. ... [Read More]
