Professor of Genetics Jack W. Szostak was one of five scientists to win the 2006 Lasker Medical Research Award. Since 1962, more than half of the recipients of that accolade have later received a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine...
...Medical Research Award for discovering an enzyme linked to cancer and aging. A University of Pennsylvania psychologist won the Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research, and a Carnegie Institution cell biologist won the Lasker Award for Special Achievement. Due to an editing error, the Feb. 18 news article, "'American Nobel' For Genetics Professor," misstated the number of recipients of the basic research prize...
...hybrid class, including boy-genius-turned-faculty-member David Liu, the hyper-energetic Robert Lue, Biology department chair Andrew Murray, and the fantastically engaging Erin O'Shea. Advice you've heard before: go to office hours; these profs are really fun, and at least one will probably win a Nobel Prize (our money is on David Liu). The 1b class is more of a mixed bag, taking fewer risks and breaking less ground than LS1a. This class takes a more traditional approach to biology, expanding on the now-defunct BS50 course by focusing on genetics and some peripheral disease-related...
...teach about whatever interests them, from popular Japanese legends (see: “The Tale of Genji”) to broad, sweeping genres that attempt to cover the entirety of the space-time continuum (“Galaxies and the Universe”). You can rub elbows with Nobel Prize winners such as physicist Roy J.

He laid the foundations of the modern Arab novel and proved that a great artist?he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1988?must also be a great human being. Thousands of Cairo's inhabitants saw Mahfouz during his long daily wanderings on foot and were captivated by his affectionate and simple way of talking with them about their problems and sorrows. Mahfouz lived for his principles with...
