...President Al Gore ’69. “It’s a shame,” Sanes said. “My daughter was going to come up from college to see [chef] Alice Waters,” he added. Sanes, who is also Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, researches how cells and their connections in the brain become specialized. At the center, he directs a group of independent scientists as they map neurocircuits and investigate what he calls “the big intellectual question of this century.” Membership honors individual achievement...
Perhaps the most whimsical performance of the evening came from Blumenthal, considered a pioneer of so-called molecular gastronomy. First came the conch shells, which servers placed on the table in front of each guest. Inside was an iPod Nano. Then came Blumenthal himself: tall, beefy, with a buzz-cut. "The idea is," he told the assembled foodies, "if you bite into something, and you put on music, the crispiness is accentuated." OK. So the diners - retirees, corporate execs, lawyers and thin blondes in five-inch stilettos - went along for the ride and slipped on the headphones. Next came...
Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Kevin C. Eggan expressed frustration at a major stem cell conference on Tuesday about a Massachussetts law that creates roadblocks to medical research. Eggan lamented a state policy that limits access to human eggs by forbidding researchers from compensating women for egg donation. Since its inception in 2004, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute has not obtained a single egg from an eligible donor. Eggan left town immediately after the conference ended yesterday and could not be reached for additional comment. B.D. Colen, Harvard’s senior communications officer for University science, said...

...interested in molecular cell biology. Back home in India, Rajarshi’s only cartooning experience was doodling in class. He sent in a cartoon poking fun at the Financial Aid Office as part of his application and thoroughly regretted it for the next three months. Now a freshman in Hurlbut, he wonders whether that’s the reason he’s here. You can check out his cartoons every Friday...
