Search continues for American molecular biologist who went missing in Crete

Greek authorities are searching for Suzanne Eaton, an American molecular biologist who went missing last week from a conference outside Chania, on the island of Crete. Eaton runs a lab at the Max Planck Institute, in Dresden, Germany, which focuses on the molecular signals that help tissues to form during development. The Associated Press reported that the 59-year-old is thought to have gone for a run last Tuesday afternoon and never returned. According to a Facebook page set up to coordinate the search, police officers and firefighters have said they’ll be combing the rocky terrain with dogs and a helicopter, while her family has posted surveillance footage online, in case someone is able to spot the bright pink shirt she was likely wearing.
