After 20 years at Harvard Medical School, Professor D. Gary Gilliland will depart to lead cancer research at the pharmaceutical giant, Merck & Co., the company announced earlier this week. While at Harvard, Gilliland gained international recognition for discovering the genetic basis of leukemia and served as director of both the Leukemia Program at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center and the Cancer Stem Cell Program for the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. Gilliland’s latest work harnessed his earlier findings to explore how drugs could be used to treat leukemia. “His expertise in both basic...

Captivate charges a building owner about $8,000 an elevator to install the screens and collects a $100 monthly service fee on each. Captivate divides the ad dollars with the landlord, who earns revenue from an asset that would otherwise rack up only service costs.

"This is an opportunity to break through clutter," he says. Unfortunately, Captivate screens offer no audio (so far at least), so elevator music has yet to be vanquished...
...rather, nobody had got enough data. Back in 1997, astronomers Mark Phillips of the Space Telescope Science Institute and Ron Gilliland of the Carnegie Institute of Washington had used the Hubble Space Telescope to spot a distant supernova designated SN 1997ff and, with the help of Peter Nugent, a Lawrence Berkeley astronomer on Perlmutter's team, had determined its speed of recession from Earth. Nugent couldn't figure out the distance, though: determining the brightness of a Type Ia calls for not just one but several measurements, spread over time...
