His landing has blown one of the Rents' tires, and the superboy helps out his new, adoptive father by lifting up the whole rear of the rig for the wheel change. At school, Clark, as he is called, can kick a football...
Walter Gilbert '53, American Cancer Society Professor of Molecular Biology, and his Harvard research team are working on the insulin problem. Gilbert has been using the MIT P-3 lab for the past year pending completion of the Harvard lab. This past July his group developed a bacterial strain which synthesized rat proinsulin, a modified form of insulin...
...expected publication of new, more relaxed guidelines, no one seems to know whether the Cambridge ordinance applies to the stricter 1976 rules or to the looser 1978 strictures. Nor do scientists agree on the justification for the new guidelines. While Walter Gilbert '53. American Cancer Society Professor of Molecular Biology, hails the new guidelines as considerably more sensible than in the past, dissident scientists like Jonathan King, professor of microbiology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says the new guidelines are based not on new scientific evidence but on scientists' lobbying against restrictive guidelines...
