Junior faculty are too often judged exclusively on their published work; associate professors who are first and foremost excellent and accessible teachers are rarely granted tenure. While this fosters a large amount of scholarship, it hurts undergraduate education--the best researchers are not always the best teachers. Public standards of judging tenure candidates would enable public debate on what those standards should...

...take as long as 15 years). But the odds are better now than when tranquilizers came largely from inspired guesswork. Computerized brain scans, DNA probes and other technological wizardry have given drugmakers powerful new tools for understanding at a molecular level the brain's inner workings--and how chemicals affect them...
Prozac is another drug that targets a particular neurotransmitter, plugging up brain chemicals that absorb the mood elevator called serotonin. Competing ssris (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), as they're called, include Lilly's duloxetine and Solvay Pharmaceuticals' fluvoxamine. Both drugs affect the same biochemical pathways, only with greater precision and fewer side effects. But better ssris aren't the only new approach. Sanofi-Synthelabo is looking into the potential of a so-called mao (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor called befloxatone. Monoamine oxidase is another serotonin-disrupting enzyme, so anything that inhibits it should make more of the mood-elevating chemical available...
