...People around the country who are microbiologist probably don't know that he carries an administrative burden that in other places would be a full time job," says Bullard professor of Neurobiology Richard L. Sidman, a Medical School colleague of Dowling's. This, Sidman explains, is because even with all his administrative responsibilities, Dowling remains one of the world's experts on the physiology of vision...
...outbreak vanished as quickly as it began, but researchers at CDC, including Microbiologist Joseph McCade, 43, continued to examine the specimens taken from the victims. Five months after the convention, he took another look at some red sausage-shaped bacteria and concluded that they were the culprits. They had festered in the water of the hotel's cooling tower and had been carried through the air as the water evaporated. The antibiotic Erythromycin proved effective in treating the disease, and many similar cooling towers across the country are now chlorinated to guard against another outbreak...
...some areas. Rancho Grande, a hamlet of wooden and tin-roofed dwellings in the coffee-growing region of Matagalpa, 35 miles from the Honduran border, was struck by the rebels last week. Two members of the local militia force, numbering about 25, were killed, along with a French microbiologist, Pierre Grosjean, 32, who was visiting the area to study leishmaniasis, an ulcerating skin disease. After the Rancho Grande assault, Nicaraguan Defense Minister Humberto Ortega Saavedra, whose brother Daniel is coordinator of the Nicaraguan junta, declared confidently that "the counterrevolutionary forces are in serious difficulty...
DIED. Sol Spiegelman, 68, pioneering microbiologist whose research on DNA and RNA, the nucleic acids that carry life's hereditary coding, helped lay the foundation for genetic engineering; in New York City. Spiegelman showed how RNA serves as a kind of blueprint whose coded genetic information orders up the production of substances, and also discovered key links between viruses and human cancer...
...implications of the experiment for medicine, agriculture and biological research are enormous. The most obvious application would be the creation of giant pigs, sheep and cattle, capable of yielding vast quantities of meat and milk. "If we can make bigger mice," says Microbiologist Ralph Brinster, of the University of Pennsylvania, "we can make bigger cows...
