Nonetheless, many AIDS experts applauded the findings as a crucial starting point for further research. Some say that as slight as it was, the vaccine benefit discovered in the trial may eventually help scientists develop a workable AIDS vaccine - a goal that has eluded them for more than two decades. "Having this signal - even if it's weak and even if we're debating whether it's a real signal or not - is a source of great hope," said Nicole Frahm, an HIV specialist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, while attending the annual AIDS vaccine conference...

Still, after more than 25 years of virtually futile AIDS-vaccine research, the investigators involved in the Thai trial believe that their findings, while admittedly "modest," offer unprecedented leads to follow. "To quote from our recent history, this is a 'Yes we can' moment," Michael says. "It is not a public health breakthrough, [and] there is not a vaccine around the corner. But the door has finally been cracked open...
Beth Brainard, an HCL spokeswoman, said that hours during J-Term will only be slightly reduced from those of past intersessions. Many senior thesis writers have traditionally stayed on campus to conduct research during intersession, and the College administration has said it will give those students preference to stay during this year’s J-Term as well...
Department Chair Sean D. Kelly said that Richard will join a department that includes faculty engaged in similar research, including Philosophy Professors Warren Goldfarb ’69, Bernhard Nickel, and Susanna Siegel...
