  • R. Stephen Berry 1931–2020
    R. Stephen Berry 1931–2020 A Biographical Memoir by Stuart A. Rice and Joshua Jortner ©2021 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RICHARD STEPHEN BERRY April 9, 1931–July 26, 2020 Elected to the NAS, 1980 We have prepared this memoir to bear witness to the life of R. Stephen (Steve) Berry, with emphasis on the view that a memorial is about reminding ourselves and others of more than his many and varied contributions to science; it is also to remind us of his personal warmth and freely offered friendship, of his generous support for all of us in a variety of situations, and of his loyalty to his friends and the institutions he served. The record of an individ- ual’s accomplishment is commonly taken to define his/ her legacy. Using that protocol, creative scientists are fortunate in that their contributions are visible, and those contributions endure, or not, on their own merits. Steve Berry was one of the most broadly ranging and influen- tial scientists in the world. His seminal experimental and By Stuart A. Rice theoretical contributions are distinguished by a keen eye and Joshua Jortner for new concepts and innovative and practical analyses. These contributions, which are remarkable in both scope and significance, have helped to shape our scientific perception. They have had, and continue to have, great influence on the development of chemistry, biophysics materials science, the science and technology related to the use, production, and conservation of energy, the societal applications of science and technology, and national and international science policy.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Metabolic Tracing of NAD Precursors Using Strategically Labelled Isotopes of NMN
    A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Metabolic tracing of NAD+ precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN by Lynn-Jee Kim Supervisors Dr. Lindsay E. Wu (Primary) Prof. David A. Sinclair (Joint-Primary) Dr. Lake-Ee Quek (Co-supervisor) School of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name: Kim Given Name/s: Lynn-Jee Abbreviation for degree as give in PhD the University calendar: Faculty: Faculty of Medicine School: School of Medical Sciences + Thesis Title: Metabolic tracing of NAD precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important cofactor and substrate for hundreds of cellular processes involved in redox homeostasis, DNA damage repair and the stress response. NAD+ declines with biological ageing and in age-related diseases such as diabetes and strategies to restore intracellular NAD+ levels are emerging as a promising strategy to protect against metabolic dysfunction, treat age-related conditions and promote healthspan and longevity. One of the most effective ways to increase NAD+ is through pharmacological supplementation with NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) which can be orally delivered. Long term administration of NMN in mice mitigates age-related physiological decline and alleviates the pathophysiologies associated with a high fat diet- and age-induced diabetes. Despite such efforts, there are certain aspects of NMN metabolism that are poorly understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms involved in the utilisation and transport of orally administered NMN were investigated using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN and mass spectrometry.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES T HOMAS HUNT M ORGAN 1866—1945 A Biographical Memoir by A. H . S TURTEVANT Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. THOMAS HUNT MORGAN September 25, 1866-December 4, 1945 BY A. H. STURTEVANT HOMAS HUNT MORGAN was born September 25, 1866, at Lexing- Tton, Kentucky, the son of Charlton Hunt Morgan and Ellen Key (Howard) Morgan. In 1636 the two brothers James Morgan and Miles Morgan came to Boston from Wales. Thomas Hunt Morgan's line derives from James; from Miles descended J. Pierpont Morgan. While the rela- tionship here is remote, geneticists will recognize that a common Y chromosome is indicated. The family lived in New England^ mostly in Connecticut—until about 1800, when Gideon Morgan moved to Tennessee. His son, Luther, later settled at Huntsville, Alabama. This Luther Morgan was the grandfather of Charlton Hunt Morgan; the latter's mother (Thomas Hunt Morgan's grand- mother) was Henrietta Hunt, of Lexington, whose father, John Wesley Hunt, came from Trenton, New Jersey, and was one of the early settlers at Lexington, where he became a hemp manufacturer. Ellen Key Howard was from an old aristocratic family of Baltimore, Maryland. Her two grandfathers were John Eager Howard (Colonel in the Revolutionary Army, Governor of Maryland from 1788 to 1791) and Francis Scott Key (author of "The Star-spangled Ban- ner"). Thomas Hunt Morgan's parents were related, apparently as third cousins.
