...will support postdoctoral fellows as well as a lecture series in bionanoscience, a relatively young but rapidly expanding field that examines life on the nano-scale. “Understanding life at the smallest levels could offer dramatic changes in both basic biology and, on a more mundane level, transform a trip to the doctor’s office,” according to the original planning documents for the institute. “The intersections among biology and engineering represent some of the most fruitful in basic and applied research.” The new institute will focus...
...been working for five years you think, is this it? You've got your car, your apartment, you can buy nice T shirts, but there's a need to create some value." The "virtual" dimension of work in an IT-dominated society also leaves him wanting more.

The successful College-sponsored events of the recent past?...
...this: "The shore of reform is the only one on which any lights appear, even though the journey demands courage and patience and perseverance." The United Nations was created to make that journey possible. Together we must support the dreams of good and decent people who are working to transform a troubled region - and by doing so, we will advance the high ideals on which this institution was founded...
