...asked the Secret Service to examine the notebooks in the Baltimore case for authenticity, some researchers accused him of launching a witch hunt and trying to establish "science police." Because of his badgering of scientists at congressional hearings, he has been charged with practicing McCarthyism. Says Maxine Singer, a molecular biologist and president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington: "With Dingell, the issues get swallowed as he makes personal attacks on people...
...politics. New Forum, the umbrella organization that served as a catalyst of protest, failed to transform itself into a political party; many of its former leaders now regret that. "It's not so much that the west made mistakes or failed to do anything," says Jens Reich, 52, a molecular biologist who was one of New Forum's most eloquent spokesmen. "We were the ones who did nothing. We failed to defend and preserve what we wanted to keep...
...twin: a good genetic match. In a feat every bit as heroic as cracking the Enigma code during World War II, immunologists have determined just what makes for a good tissue match. Research dating from the 1960s shows that the immune system has developed its own set of molecular passwords, called human leukocyte antigens, that identify every nerve, every capillary, every organ as either friend or foe. If a cell displays the right HLA molecules on its surface, the T cells will leave it alone. If not, it gets zapped...
...There's a lot of people that are suspicious about where indirect costs go," says Lehman Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Bernard N. Fields. "That's not my belief...
While the government considers how to best alter the indirect cost regulations, Scott, Fields and R. John Collier, Presley professor of microbiology and molecular genetics, are concerned that the government has already changed the "ground rules" with respect to indirect costs--that the government is not maintaining "its side of the bargain...
