...very little for building muscle and can have harmful effects on the heart. That hasn't stopped some athletes from trying it. "I'm convinced that some athletes are using a combination of IGF-1 and human growth hormone," says Nadia Rosenthal, an IGF-1 researcher at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Rome. The theory behind the combo is that human growth hormone signals the liver to secrete more IGF-1, keeping blood levels high. "These athletes know a little bit about how [the hormones] work, and for them, a millisecond could be the difference between gold or nothing...
Kuhn Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Christopher T. Walsh, who chaired the group on basic research, called the newest changes “fine tuning,” noting that the review found that the previous regulations had largely been effective...
...Baxter professor of pharmacology and director of the Baxter Laboratory of Genetic Pharmacology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. After taking her bachelor’s degree from the University of York, in England, she received an A.M. in 1970 and a Ph.D. in 1975 from Harvard in molecular biology...
...quoted molecular geneticist Dr. Jeffrey Friedman as saying "there are genes in the population that predispose to obesity." Genetics may be a factor, but there are people in many other countries who have the same genes as Americans but not the same problems. Maybe our habit of blaming others, faulting our ancestors or suing McDonald's--instead of admitting that obesity is our problem and we must fix it--is what made us fat in the first place.

...these kinds of things—I don’t think of myself as either a Democrat or a Republican,” said Baird Research Professor of Science Dudley R. Herschbach, who took home the 1986 Nobel in chemistry for his work on observing reactions via molecular beams. “But from what I’ve seen as the performance of this administration, I think it’s important that they be voted out of office...It’s no wonder that even scientists who would prefer to be nonpartisan feel that in this...
