...research in proteomics is a crucial towards realizing this treatment paradigm. At ASU, he will work with the Scottsdale-based Piper Charitable Trust and the Phoenix-based Flinn Foundation, which are at the forefront of this venture. These foundations have already donated millions of dollars to the project. LaBaer said that he was pleased to participate in such a riveting new project at Arizona State University. “The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University is an exciting program in which scientists and technology development people all over the country are going to gather to build something from ground...
...posterity, the one that receives the least attention is that of secretary.” Debord’s correspondences reveal a leader who is a stickler for details—more politician than artist. Many letters find Debord nagging the various members of SI for projects that have not met their deadlines, and in many others he catalogues how many copies of a certain article need to go to specifically designated places. There are few letters of great philosophical weight to be found. A typical letter from Debord to the members of SI reads: “Following...
...something initially considered to be unique to humans is found in any other species, whether that species is dog or monkeys, then that hypothesis is defeated, Hauser said. Katherine J. McAuliffe, a graduate student in Hauser’s lab, is currently completing work on a project designed to study inequity aversion in the tamarins, which she says will be done in the few weeks before the tamarins leave. “We’re looking for a sense of fairness,” said McAuliffe. “Do primates care if they...
...turn purple. A healthy level of glucose would be represented by a color somewhere in between, explained Clark. Clark and her colleagues’ original goal was not to produce a glucose-measuring ink, but rather one to measure sodium levels in the skin, she said. When that project showed promising results in mouse trials, the director of the bioengineering department at the time challenged the researchers to apply a similar approach to glucose. Though they were initially skeptical of the project’s feasibility, Clark and her team now hope to begin animal testing in a few weeks...
...after my first two years at medical school, Dr. Willem Kolff, who died Feb. 11 at 97, hired me to work on the artificial-heart project at the University of Utah. On my first day, he instructed me to create a new heart design that would keep an animal alive longer than any earlier models...
