Professor Wilder Dwight Bancroft, 67-year-old Cornell University chemist, dislikes doctors as scientists. His immediate reason is that they refuse to concede that he has discovered an elixir of long life, a panacea for insomnia, alcoholism and sciatica, a preventive of "nervous breakdowns," hardening of the arteries and common colds, a cure for manic depressive insanity and epilepsy...
Three short years ago the formula D20 would have been meaningless to chemists because there was no element corresponding to the symbol D. Now every chemist in the land knows that D2O means heavy water, that D is the symbol for the heavy isotope of hydrogen which Dr. Urey identified in the autumn of 1931 (TIME, Dec. 21, 1931) and subsequently named deuterium. Undoubtedly in considering last week's award the Swedish Academy took cognizance of the fact that no discovery in the physical sciences in recent years has stimulated more widespread research than...
Most distinguished witness for the prosecution was Dr. Chaim Weizmann, goateed chemist whose Wartime gift to Britain of a process for speeding production of alcohol gained Balfour's promise of a national homeland for Jews in Palestine. Onetime President of the World Zionist Federation, Dr. Weizmann is a Jew who might well be slated to be the Uncrowned King of the Jews if their Elders were really planning a world kingdom. But Nazi Fischer did not suggest that possibility. Instead he bombarded Jew Weizmann with questions about the first Zionist Congress of 1897, at which Sergei Nilus declared the Protocols...

Doctors begged pharmacologists to give them in pure form the active principles of the endocrine glands. When Chemist Edwin Calvin Kendall of the Mayo Clinic isolated thyroxin, the essence of the thyroid, about 15 years ago, a loud cry of applause arose. Since then other hormones have been refined and analyzed. Last week Professor Leopold Ruzicka of Zurich significantly reported in Nature that he had synthesized the male...
