...MATTER HOW OR WHEN THE DISORDER hits, the first step in striking back is usually comparatively short-term behavioral therapy, using a technique known as exposure and response prevention (ERP), in which OCD sufferers don't try to avoid their particular source of anxiety but actually seek it out. Eventually, emotional nerve endings grow desensitized to the stimulus. The point is to tough it out until that happens...
...includes some of the most prestigious schools on the planet: Harvard, Caltech, MIT, Cambridge. And the number of research fields the institutes address is even smaller. Universities can get the $7.5 million gifts only if the funding goes to one of three areas: astrophysics, nanoscience or neuroscience. Why this particular trio? Because that's what Kavli happens to be interested in. "The way he sometimes puts it," says David Gross, a Nobel prizewinner in physics and director of the first Kavli Institute, at the University of California at Santa Barbara, "is that he's fascinated by the very biggest...
...enough to allow Kavli to return to the great unanswered questions of basic science that had long fascinated him. He wanted to endow major prizes for research in his astro-nano-neuro triad, the fields he thinks will produce the most exciting discoveries in the coming centuries. In particular, he wanted to finance early-stage research, the bold ideas that may be many years away from producing tangible results. Quantum physics, for example, seemed totally impractical until engineers used its findings to design the tiny chips that power today's beloved consumer gadgets. Amid funding cuts for basic research, Kavli...
