...little dopamine, meantime, can lead to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. An excess is thought to be a cause of schizophrenia. The research suggests that most of us should not try to manipulate our dopamine levels with drugs.

...several individuals who were not at the time staff of the Hayward/Zhang campaign. Most of them are still not staff of the campaign. These e-mails instructed these students to forward official campaign material to their dorm, house, or student group e-mail lists.

But increasingly, the big players in the pharmaceutical industry are moving into the biologics business themselves, either by investing in cutting...

Jacobs ’11. They e-mailed back quickly, but they were too busy to meet with me (schoolwork and prepping for tournaments). I could imagine them sitting at vast, thickly papered desks, sifting through files, and passing folders back and forth...
