...Center, graduate students, research fellows, and faculty members will have to pay roughly $2000 per year in a plan that MCB Professor Jeff W. Lichtman likened to a gym membership...
...Lichtman, who was involved in constructing the plan, said the arrangement will allow for a financially sustainable replacement of microscopes, which are quickly rendered out-of-date by technological innovation...
Professor Jeff W. Lichtman and his team painstakingly craft their colorful masterpieces—but their paintbrush is the genome, and their canvass the brain. Lichtman and his colleague Joshua R. Sanes, both molecular and cellular biology professors at Harvard, are mapping neurons with a pioneering method, dubbed “brainbow” for its psychedelic appearance. Already, the technique—recently honored with a Nobel Prize in chemistry—is shedding light on the development of the human mind, and how disorders such as Alzheimer’s and even anxiety alter the brain...
...other four finalists for the non-fiction award title are journalists Dexter Filkins—who was a Nieman Foundation fellow at Harvard two years ago—and Jane Mayer; political historian and American University professor Allan J. Lichtman; and University of Kentucky history professor George C. Herring...
...brain in new ways. The technique, detailed in this week’s issue of Nature, activates fluorescent proteins in neurons. The colors then combine to produce an array of more than 100 different shades. The new approach was discovered by a team led by Jeff W. Lichtman and Joshua R. Sanes, both professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology who teach MCB 80, “Neurobiology of Behavior,” in the spring. “Brainbow provides a way of seeing many neurons at the same time in the same place...
