Wiley, Ph.D. vi Lita Annenberg Hazen (1909-1995) Lita liked me for my brains and also because as a successful scientist I was optimistic and never worried her about what I should do next. But she did not like to see me becom- ing almost fat after I took on leading the Human Genome Project and had one job more than I could handle. I then would sense her displeasure when I sat down opposite her at her Pierre Hotel apartment and she would look at my belt not adequate for its job. So when I again became trim, like a long thin DNA molecule, we would not have that awkward start to our conversations where she expressed sharp, clear thoughts and never exuded unreasonable goodliness when the facts were awful. We had first met when I was badly in need of big money to move the Cold Spring Har- bor Laboratory beyond the gene and onto the ultimate challenge of biology, the human mind. I had long known of her philanthropy to biology and medicine, but despite urgings from a colleague who said that our souls were made for each other, I was initially scared to approach her. At a gala several years earlier,I had already gazed upon the firm regality that had emerged out of her Annenberg intellect and money. Yet she could be the friend and patroness who would let me have aspirations beyond common sense. So I got up my courage and began to let her know me, often in the California beauty of her Homby Hills home overlooking the Los Angeles Country Club. At first I assumed that her penchant toward biology brains arose out of the tragedy of her eldest daughter Gwynne's premature death from leukemia and her subsequent endowing of a cancer re- search laboratory at the nearby UCLA Medical Center. In fact, she had to live with the knowledge that it had been her early interest in medical research that had led her to a specialist who used X-rays to treat her daughter's intractable eczema in the days before the cancer-causing attributes of ionizing radiation were firmly established. vii Turning away from rationality was not, however, Lita's thing and much happiness in her later life came from bringing together the scientific elite in groups small enough to let her know whom she was helping. For several years, she also provided a major prize in clinical research, but felt almost betrayed when the recipients of her generosity seemed to vanish from her life almost as quickly as they entered her world at the prize ceremony dinners.

  • WCBR Program3
    Welcome to the Thirty-Fifth Annual Winter Conference on Brain Research The Winter Conference on Brain Research (WCBR) was founded in 1968 to promote free exchange of information and ideas within neuroscience. It was the intent of the founders that both formal and informal interactions would occur between clinical and laboratory based neuroscientists. During the past thirty years neuroscience has grown and expanded to include many new fields and methodologies. This diversity is also reflected by WCBR participants and in our program. A primary goal of the WCBR is to enable participants to learn about the current status of areas of neuroscience other than their own. Another objective is to provide a vehicle for scientists with common interests to discuss current issues in an informal setting. On the other hand, WCBR is not designed for presentations limited to communicating the latest data to a small group of specialists; this is best done at national society meetings. The program includes panels (reviews for an audience not neces- sarily familiar with the area presented), workshops (informal discussions of current issues and data), and a number of posters. The annual conference lecture will be presented at the Sunday breakfast on Sunday, January 27. Our guest speaker will be Dr. Donald Kennedy, Editor-in-Chief of Science. On Tuesday, January 29, a town meeting will be held for the Aspen/Snowmass commu- nity at which Dr. George Ricaurte, and WCBR participants will discuss drug addiction and toxicity of addictive drugs. Also, participants in the WCBR Outreach Program will present sessions at local schools throughout the week to pique students’ interest in science.

  • 2000 Annual Report
    2000 2000 BANBURY CENTER DIRECTOR'S REPORT In 2000, there were 25 meetings at Banbury Center, exceeding by two the 1999 record. Laboratory staff used Banbury Center for 11 meetings, and a notable addition to the Banbury schedule was the first of the Topics in Biology courses of the Watson School of Biological Sciences. There were the usual five Summer Courses, and we made the Center available to community groups on seven occasions. More than 700 visitors came to Banbury in 2000, and the geographical distribution of the partici­ pants was much the same as in previous years; 80% of participants came from the United States, and although New York, Califomia, and Massachusetts accounted for 44% of the participants, 39 U.S. states were represented. There were 95 participants from Europe, the majority coming from the United Kingdom. Eugenics on the Web This, a joint project between the DNA Learning Center and Banbury Center, completed its first stage in January, 2000. Our Advisory Board came to Banbury to review and approve the final version of the site before we went to the National Human Genome Research Institute for authority to release it to the public. The Advisory Board was, as always, constructively critical and made valuable suggestions. They approved the site, and we presented them with a certificate thanking them for their help. We have obtained a second round of funding to expand the site further, by increasing the number of images and by extending it to include European eugenics. Neuroscience A significant feature of the 2000 program was the large number of neuroscience meetings.

  • John Bertrand Gurdon (1933- ) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) John Bertrand Gurdon (1933- ) [1] By: Maayan, Inbar Cohmer, Sean Keywords: Biography [2] Nuclear transplantation [3] Sir John Bertrand Gurdon further developed nuclear transplantation [4], the technique used to clone organisms and to create stem cells [5], while working in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century. Gurdon's research built on the work of Thomas King and Robert Briggs in the United States, who in 1952 published findings that indicated that scientists could take a nucleus [6] from an early embryonic cell and successfully transfer it into an unfertilized and enucleated egg [7] cell. Briggs and King also concluded that a nucleus [6] taken from an adult cell and similarly inserted into an unfertilized enucleatede gg [7] cell could not produce normal development. In 1962, however, Gurdon published results that indicated otherwise. While Briggs and King worked with Rana pipiens [8] frogs, Gurdon used the faster-growing species Xenopus laevis [9] to show that nuclei from specialized cells still held the potential to be any cell despite its specialization. In 2012, the Nobel Prize Committee awarded Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka [10] its prize in physiology or medicine for for their work on cloning [11] and pluripotent stem cells [5]. Gurdon was born 2 October 1933, in Hampshire, England. From a young age animals interested him, and he later recalled raising thousands of caterpillars during his childhood. Gurdon's parents believed in the importance of education, and so he attended Eton College, a prestigious boys' school near Windsor, England.
