• We misspelled two researchers' names in our 15 January issue: Kristine (not Christine) Larson, in our story on earthquake "movies" (p 9), and Michelle Herman (not Hansen), in the story on the impact of the tsunami (p 14).
• In the article on Pampa Mansa, the genetically modified cow whose milk could provide a cheaper source of human growth hormone (8 January, p 15), we should have mentioned that this project is led and funded by Argentinian biotech company Bio Sidus.
• In "Meltdown" (25 December 2004, p 25) we said "the West Antarctic ice sheet is thinning following the collapse of the vast, floating Larsen B ice shelf". That statement was misleading. Only glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula, on the western edge of this ice sheet, are thinning because of the ice shelf's disintegration.
• The Mayo Clinic mentioned in "Through the smokescreen" (18 December 2004, p 42) is in Rochester, Minnesota, not Minneapolis.
