Professor Heinz Wolff,who has died aged 89，was a bioengineering pioneer.He established the discipline,named it and,in a 60-year career,made significant contributions to medical rearch.But to the British public,he was best known as the "dotty scientist" who fronted The Great Egg Race,a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were t engineering challenges（the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands）.With his trademark bow tie,half-moon glass and Mittel-European accent,he looked really like Professor Branestawn,as described by W.Heath Robinson.Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as an "odd egghead"，he was very rious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers.
Born in Berlin in 1928，tiffany是什么意思Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents.His mother died in 1938，and the next year the family fled.They arrived in Britain on the day war was declar
ed.

Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966，encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a "radio pill".On The Great Egg Race,which ran from 1979，his task was to get opponent teams reprenting organizations such as the chemical company ICI.Challenges included building a hovercraft（气垫船） from a lawnmower（割草机），and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water.Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment.The show ended in the mid-1980s,but Wolff continu
ed to judge scientific competitions,on TV and elwhere.A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world,he said he'd be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science.

America has long been opposing adequate poverty policies becau of its strong worry of thinking that the poor are responsible for their own situations,but a child poverty is too har
mful and punishing to ignore.I，and a growing number of scholars,believe there is a solution：the government should give monthly cash allowances（津贴），without conditions,to every family with kids.（Higher-income families would have much of the money taxed away.）
A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive（认知的）and emotional damage in children.Despite policies that have expanded access to insurance,poor kids are still less healthy than the rest of the young population.They also drop out of school at higher rates,earn less money over time and are incarcerated（监禁）rolloverfar more often than their better-off peers.That should be enough for us to recognize the moral tragedy that is child poverty,but we should note the broad effect too：reliable analys show that the nation's GDP is up to ＄1 trillion lower becau of child poverty.
Poor children have many needs,but rearch shows that money may matter most.For example,a 2013 review of dozens of studies by London School of Economics rearchers found that "Poorer children have wor cognitive,social-behavioral and health outcomes in part becau they are poorer,and not just becau poverty is related to other houhol
d and parental characteristics".
It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically raising environment in which learning and social development can breed.
The historian Michael Katz correctly notes,"One of the odd aspects of the history of writing about poverty is the avoidance of the simple view that people are poor becau they lack money," yet both the left and the right defamed（诽谤）direct cash aid as a waste and a cau of laziness and abu.It is good that Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has stresd the benefits of a universal basic income,quoting studies that show such cash allowances do not cau the avoidance of work,but his plan could cost ＄2.8 trillion a year and the poor would have to return welfare assistance like food stamps to receive the money.For far less money—about ＄健身私教学校100 billion—the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half.Such a policy would be a humanecinemagic（人道的），practical,efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglect its poor.
