...things that has to come out of this is over the next year or two, we'll start learning [what activities should be allowed]," said Lehman Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Bernard N. Fields, who spoke out against the original document because of its negative tone...
...need to be bogged down by antiquarian exegesis of outdated mathematics, you geeks," returned a molecular biologist. "Those equations were discovered in, like, the 17th century. We study the present, not the nerdy doodlings of some longdecomposed apple-dropper...
...public's attention, but the real work is being done quietly and out of sight. In laboratories around the world, medical researchers are exploring the mind-body connection, separating myth from reality, intuition from fact, belief from science. Much of this work centers on the actions of neuropeptides, molecular messengers that travel through the body linking the nervous, immune and endocrine systems. In the 1970s neuropharmacologist Candace Pert at the National Institute of Mental Health found that these peptides bind to receptors on a cell, beginning a cascade of biomedical effects, including protein synthesis and cell division. "It's like...
...Asian-Americans excluded from minority fellowships? As a spokesperson for the Ford Foundation told me, "Orientals are overrepresented in the sciences." Displaying similar grouping, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Mark S. Ptashne remarked to his Biochemistry 10b class, "maybe I should say [the lecture material] in Chinese"--presumably because of the high number of Asian-Americans in the class. These sorts of blanket generalizations, while not motivated by real racial prejudice, represent a measure of ignorance...
...Given the recent developments in molecular biology, the tools are at hand or within reach to help us understand some of the fundamental mechanisms that parasites use to fool the immune system of the host," said Ted Hearne, a spokesperson for the MacArthur Foundation...
