...doctors may have to become molecular chefs, cooking up new anti-cancer recipes with a growing number of promising drug ingredients. If the number of presentations at ASCO is any indication, their lab cupboards are plenty full of just such compounds. So far, the best cocktails, still in early testing in the most advanced cancer patients, try to include some agents aimed at cutting off a tumor's blood supply (so-called angiogenesis inhibitors), others designed to trigger a cancer cell's pre-programmed suicide pathway, or still other compounds that muck up the intricate signaling system that a cancer...
...women on this faculty, but to which women and in which positions.”In the next year, Hammonds’ office will work to establish stronger mentorship structures, survey the entire faculty, and attempt to collect data on more subtle indicators of discrimination such as amounts of lab space given to male versus female faculty members. The survey will be similar to the one examining internal bias conducted by MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins in 1999.“I think this is a huge step,” Lamont says. “The fact that a parallel...
...this work is funded by private donations to HSCI, since President Bush banned the use of federal funding to create new human embryonic stem cell lines in 2001. The HSCI occupies separate lab space on the University's campus to avoid violating...
...were “bending rules.” “There was a general sense that Harvard students were honest—except when the stakes were very high, like trying to get into medical school,” Stoner says.Stoner cites instances where students sabotaged their lab mates’ chemistry experiments.But he says that cheating is not a flaw of the College but of human nature. While the competitive atmosphere of Harvard encourages people to “look for an easy way out,” he says, “the stakes...
...were more interested in other things than how much elbow room we had.” Although Pusey told the meeting of Associated Harvard Clubs that the Chemistry Department had outgrown its facilities, Warren Kantrowitz ’56 did not recall overcrowding in the chemistry lab. “Everyone had plenty of lab space,” he says. “I don’t remember having to share beyond a comfortable level in any work that I did.” “I was only interested in two things: graduating and basketball...
