Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles said in an interview yesterday that President Neil L. Rudenstine's recent decision to waive the traditional ad hoc committee review of chemist Andrew G. Myers does not indicate a change in Harvard's tenure process...
...came from a single swatch of cloth, all would be affected if the swatch were atypical or contaminated. The mantra for this position, quoted fervently by shroud proponents who might otherwise have little to do with one another, is that "the tests could have been precise without being accurate." Chemist Alan Adler, an emeritus professor at Western Connecticut State University who has worked on the shroud, takes this possibility very seriously. "The sample used for dating," he asserts, "came from an area that is water-stained and scorched, and the edge is back-woven, indicating repair"--not from a clean...
...Chemist Alan Adler, however, doubts that the oxidation was humanly induced. For one thing, the image is only one fiber deep. "If you lift a crossing fiber, you won't find any discoloration below," he says. The application of acids would not achieve such delicacy. Similarly, the fiber-by-microscopic-fiber gradations, even within a single thread, that make up the figure's exquisite "shading" would defy a human hand, were it engaged in either the application of acid or a rubbing process. Finally, Adler, a recognized expert on certain molecules found in blood, notes emphatically of the crimson stains...
without combinatorial chemistry, a chemist might spend years synthesizing a few thousand variants of a drug candidate. Using the technology, a single researcher can brew the same number of molecules in minutes...
