Charles Gibson The anchor of ABC's World News with Charles Gibson serves on Princeton's board of trustees Shirley Tilghman is the first female president of Princeton University. In addition to providing outstanding leadership of that institution, she is an accomplished molecular biologist, championing research and promoting women in science and engineering...
...time, scenes like a freshman girl trying to strike a pose leaning on a beer pong table while an experienced (and sleazy) sophomore woos her with his guitar are downright silly and provide comic relief.Sarnak has been writing songs since middle school and loves musical theater. However, being a Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator and a member of the soccer team for her first two years at Harvard, she hadn’t been able to make much time to get involved in theater. A self-proclaimed “theater outsider,” Sarnak had never even seen...
...said, “And after talking to [William J. Anderson, SCRB’s undergraduate curriculum manager], I found it was a very well planned-out concentration. That got me to be more interested in it.” Helal Syed ’11, currently a Molecular and Cell Biology concentrator, said he hopes to transfer into HDRB next fall, although his plans are not yet certain. “The transfer shouldn’t be that hard,” he said. “Many of the classes I’ve taken will count...
...scientists at the Harvard-affiliated MassGeneral Institute For Neurodegenerative Disease (MGH-MIND)—identified a novel mechanism of clearing disease-causing mutant huntingtin protein from brain cells by modifying the protein structure for autophagic degradation, a natural degradation process in cells. The introduction of a specific molecular fragment known as an acetyl group into the mutant proteins—a process also known as acetylation—is the key to triggering the destruction of excess huntingtin, according to the findings, which were published in the April 3 issue of Cell. “The novelty...
...economic reality of joblessness have convinced some staffers that they may be better off taking their chances and staying where they are—for now, at least.“I’m not taking it,” said an eligible administrator in the department of molecular and cellular biology. “I would really love to retire—would really, really love to retire—but it’s not a good time to retire in this financial atmosphere.”The individual, who requested not to be named for fear...
