...neuroscientist who discovered vigabatrin for drug addiction, I was extremely pleased with the breadth and accuracy of "The Science of Addiction." The use of vigabatrin as a potential treatment for drug addiction derives directly from advances made in nuclear medicine imaging research at Brookhaven National Laboratory. If successful, its impact will be felt worldwide. Continued political support and financial investment in scientific research are vital to maintaining our way of life and that of those to follow after we're gone...
...entitled “Drug Addiction: the Neurobiology of Disrupted Free Will” at Harvard Medical School, she emphasized the genetic component of a person’s sensitivity to drugs, as well as the link between drug use and memory. Volkow’s team at the Brookhaven National Laboratory has made scientific breakthroughs indicating that traditional treatment for drug addiction may not be the only way—or even the best way—to reduce drug abusers’ cravings. Her findings reveal the role in addiction played by the section of the brain responsible...
...honors students and reduces honors theses to 10,000 words.2/7: The Medical school is given a $42,226 grant to increase faculty pay. A week later, Radcliffe raises room rent for 1957 by $10-$15.2/15: The largest proton accelerator in the world is under construction at Brookhaven, Long Island. The machine will be operated by Harvard and eight other institutions. Two days later, Harvard and MIT commit to building a $4 million lab, sharing operations of the giant ‘704’ computer.2/20: Drawings of the radcliffe graduate refectory were finalized.

...Even some residents feel it's time to let the Ninth die peacefully. Across Flood Street from Hagan's home, Dahlre Brown, 42, and her husband, Edward Brooks, 36, warily entered their house after driving in from Brookhaven, Miss., where they plan to settle permanently now. "The fact is," said Brown, watching Salvation Army and EPA vans cruise the block, "this is a crime-ridden area and not an especially good place to raise kids. Over in Brookhaven they've got a 15-mph speed limit for school zones. Here they'll run your kids over." Brown points inside...
...come, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein as well--that in a vacuum all objects, regardless of mass, fall at the same speed. Galileo's work went unchallenged until last week, when Purdue University Physics Professor Ephraim Fischbach, three of his graduate students and S.H. Aronson, a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, reported discerning a previously unknown force that causes objects of different masses to fall at different rates...
