...naked,” remembers Tufts junior Daniel E. Kramer, president of Tufts’ Delta Tau Delta chapter. Kramer notes that you “got to be sure your pecker is as big as everyone else?...
...Calif. A self-described "total social misfit," Anderson escaped high school angst by immersing himself in books. He began writing his own stories and in college sold his first one, Tomorrow's Children, about the consequences of the atom bomb. Of his prolific output--which included such novels as Tau Zero and The Boat of a Million Years--his wife said, "We lost count after...
Roommates of the student called 911 after they found her body around 11 p.m. at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house where she had rented a room for the summer...
...question we still need to resolve," muses neurogeneticist John Hardy of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., "is, What is the relationship between beta amyloid and tau?" That is why Hardy and others are so excited by the new strain of transgenic mice that scientists are breeding. By crossing mice that develop tangles with mice that develop plaques, they should finally be able to provide scientists with a research tool they've sorely lacked: lab animals that closely approximate the disease in humans...
Over the next several years, researchers can be expected to bring into increasingly sharp focus the enormously complicated molecular pathway of which beta amyloid and tau are just the most visible signposts, and in so doing they are likely to reveal a raft of new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. For example, a change in shape appears to be what makes tau go bad. Last year Davies and Harvard's Dr. Kun Ping Lu announced that they had found an enzyme that seemed to restore tau to its proper configuration...
