...asked Dr. Branimir Sikic, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine who chaired the committee that designed ASCO's program. "It's correct that there were more Phase I studies in the clinical science symposia," he told me. "And we did that deliberately. It was a way to inform both practicing [cancer doctors] and clinical researchers about early data and the scientific background of new targets. We now have a huge amount of scientific research and much more knowledge in depth of why we should be targeting a particular gene or protein and how these drugs might work...
...Reagan victory clean, telling us it’s a watershed in politics, it shows the nation’s anger at President Carter, its confidence in Reagan, its unhappiness about the economy, its growing conservatism, its resurgent Republicanism. Whether few or all of these interpretations prove correct, the commentary has undoubtedly heartened many of the voters who elected Reagan, who voted Senators George McGovern and Birch Bayh out of office, who passed proposition 2 1/2 in Massachusetts, who elected Alfonse D’Amato to the Senate from New York. They wanted their votes...
...government, community, and public affairs; Joe Wrinn, the director of the News Office; John Longbrake, Summers’ spokesman; and Terry Murphy, the managing editor of the Gazette—all declined to comment on why The Gazette ignored the furor. When asked last month whether The Gazette was correct to avoid reporting on the debates of the Faculty, Kirby hesitated and then replied: “I think one of the reasons that Harvard Magazine is so widely read is it does have a level of editorial independence that is unique for its kind of publication...
...most talented students. To say that large concentrations cannot do better is an abdication of the College’s responsibility to those interested in popular fields ranging from English to biology. And to say that students must share the burden of reaching out to professors is at once correct and irrelevant. Harvard’s best and brightest undergraduates are not connecting with the University’s world-class faculty even though they excelled at precisely that in high school. Something is fundamentally wrong at the institutional level.Harvard has begun to address the problem. There are some bright...
...research that found that dogs respond better to human signals than chimpanzees do. For instance, if chimpanzees see a human pointing to one of two bowls and are asked to select which bowl is more likely to have food, chimpanzees pick the wrong bowl as often as the correct one, Wrangham said. However, dogs who were involved in the same experiment were more accurate, he added. Wobber became interested in what factor was responsible for differences in each species’ cognitive ability and why some species are better at reading human signals, Wrangham said. Wobber wanted to know...
