2010 Highlights
001-026_Pres_High_Annual Report_2009 template 7/12/11 9:59 AM Page 6 from the 2010 Annual Report Highlights of the Year Research Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has a major impact in the areas on which our principal investigators focus: cancer, neuroscience, plant biology, and quantitative biology. It has often been noted that our influence is especially remarkable for an institution of CSHL’s compar- atively small size. A recent survey by the respected science publisher Thompson Reuters in fact placed CSHL first in a group of 20 “heavy hitters” in molecular biology and genetics, selected from among 42,000 research institutions worldwide. During the first decade of the 21st century, research papers based on work conducted in CSHL laboratories had more impact—as measured by their frequency of citation by peers—than papers originating in any other institution, including the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Memorial Sloan-Ket- tering Cancer Center, The Rockefeller University, and Harvard University. This survey is not the only measure of our worth or that of any institution, but it does suggest the power of the work being performed at CSHL and its relevance, as measured by those who use it—our colleagues at laboratories throughout the nation and across the globe. Together, we are en- gaged in a vital enterprise, in which we bring all of our intellectual skills and technical ingenuity to bear on fundamental questions of biology and generate knowledge that forms the basis for biomed- icine to move forward in its mission to relieve the major causes of human suffering.

HHMI BULLETIN FEB. ’10 VOL.23 • NO.01 • 4000 Jones Bridge Road Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815-6789 Howard Hughes Medical Institute www.hhmi.org Magnetic Charm Some of the more curious organisms in the bacterial world orient themselves along the lines of Earth’s magnetic field. Scientists • believe these magnetotactic bacteria use special organelles called magnetosomes, filled with magnetite crystals, to find oxygen. Using www.hhmi.org electron cryotomography, Grant Jensen and colleagues discovered that magnetosomes are membranous structures flanked by a network of cytoskeletal filaments. The filaments help position the organelles into chains, as seen in this view from inside the cell. This kind of surprising architectural complexity is seen more and more by researchers like HHMI’s Jensen and Christine Jacobs-Wagner. You can read about their work in the online Bulletin. A COMMON GOOD Years of work and scores of colleagues are v ol. behind the Nobel Prizes for Tom Steitz and Jack Szostak. 23 Grant Jensen and Dianne Newman labs / Caltech /no. in this issue The China Connection · Membrane Equilibrium · Digital Worm Atlas 01 OBSERVATI O N S pioneer experimentalist Commonly known as the “father of microscopy,” Antony van Leeuwenhoek should also be given his due as one of the first true biological experimental- ists. Modern-day counterparts Grant Jensen and Christine Jacobs-Wagner, whose examinations of bacterial architecture are described in the online version of this magazine, count themselves among his admirers. Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) remains one of the most imperfectly understood figures in the origins of experimental biology. The popular view is that Leeuwenhoek worked in a manner that was essentially crude and undisciplined, using untried methods of investigation that were lacking in refinement and objectivity.

A: They both have to write autobiographical essays on command. Ancestors and family My father, Hsue Chu Tsien (1915–1997), came from the "scholar-gentry" class in Hangzhou, China, where "Tsien" (now more commonly transliterated as Qian) is quite a common surname. Apparently in 907 A.D., Qian Liu, my paternal ancestor 34 generations ago, established a kingdom around Hangzhou and fostered its growth through many civil engineering projects. This ﬁefdom prospered peacefully under the rule of Qian Liu and his successors until 978, when they surrendered to the Sung dynasty to avoid bloodshed*. I had thought that descent from Qian Liu was an obscure secret of our family, but this factlet somehow found its way onto Wikipedia through no fault of mine. Furthermore, this genealogy is hardly much of a distinction given that everyone in principle has 234 ancestors from 34 generations ago.
