...School of Public Health also went international by appointing Dr. John Cairns--a prominent molecular biologist and director of the Mill Hill Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, England--to be a professor of Microbiology...
...flexible education. Dr. Elsie Field Doob '30 believes her experience at Radcliffe instilled in her an important need to accomplish "because I was in association with people who were ambitious or who had succeeded." Unlike many of her classmates, Doob continued on to graduate school. The daughter of a biologist and cousin of zoologist Howard Stabler, Doob was one of five women to enter the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in the fall of 1930. On a careful budget balanced by scholarships and part-time baby-sitting jobs, Doob and her husband Joseph L. Doob '30 managed...
...lines for a star, a target for a breast-were images deeply lodged in the racial unconscious. Those included sexual symbols. There is scarcely a Miró painting that does not somewhere contain his icons for the female and male genitals, as isolated from sensual context as the biologist's symbols, and just as unvoluptuous. Male phalluses are always limp, and female vaginas sharp-edged and abstract, even when surrounded by flaring flames. "The sex organ has a poetic power, like a comet," Miró says. Those figures - sometimes gay, sometimes grotesque - that posture against fathomless space are what...
...produce something new. It begins cranking out the protein and, given the proper nourishment, making millions of carbon copies of itself, each capable of producing the same protein. Though each creates only a tiny amount, the cumulative output can be substantial. Biogen's accomplishment, brought off by Swiss Molecular Biologist Charles Weissmann and his international team of colleagues, was to re-engineer E. coli so that it would produce largely complete molecules of human leukocyte IF. At Harvard, Biochemist Tadatsugu Taniguchi, who first isolated an interferon gene while at the Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, and Molecular Biologist Mark Ptashne...
...state has set up a toll-free telephone hot line for reporting manatee death, injury or harassment. Billboards and bumper stickers are in evidence, proclaiming the manatee the "Endangered Floridian." But the battle is far from won. Warns University of Miami Marine Biologist Daniel Odell: "The manatees are sitting targets for everything, and it will take a major effort to preserve them...
