...teach key scientific concepts” and “impart an understanding of the methods and process of scientific research, discovery, and invention.” Nevertheless, such a philosophy is only as good as its application. For example, the report’s citation of Molecular and Cellular Biology 60, “Ethics, Biotechnology, and the Future of Human Nature”—which last year could be petitioned to count for the current Moral Reasoning requirement—as an acceptable scientific general education course is dubious at best. In our view, such...
...combination of three machines into one is pretty new,” said SAIF manager Alec M. De Grand, who added that the new instrument is more compact and efficient. “It’s a very much needed instrument for small animal molecular imaging and it will have a significant impact on biomedical research at the Longwood Medical Area Campus,” said HEI grant program director Marjorie A. Tingle. The HEI program started as a 2002 initiative of the National Center for Research Resources, a part of the NIH, and has already awarded over...
...you’re looking for the imprimatur of greatness, try Nature or Harvard—but if you want the real thing, try PLoS One or Berkeley. MICHAEL B. EISEN ’89 San Francisco, Calif. October 12, 2006 The writer is assistant professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley and co-founder of the Public Library of Science...
...acids with a mass about 10 times that of average protein. To find the structure of large proteins such as RNA polymerase, scientists have to purify them, crystallize them, and then use x-ray crystallography to visualize the structure, according to Jianhua Fu, an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Cornell. Fu worked with Kornberg at Stanford and authored one of the scientific papers cited by the Nobel Prize committee. Fu said Kornberg used interdisciplinary techniques involving biology, chemistry, and physics to visualize the RNA’s structure in a huge scientific effort that took eight years...
...percent committed to the idea of maintaining Harvard’s excellence in the core disciplines,” said Murray, who heads the molecular and cellular biology department. One of the committee’s recommendations says that Harvard should “continue to invest in core disciplines...
