Her positive attitude enables her to find the bright side of any situation, and according to her colleagues, she has a reputation for being “cool, calm and collected.” She is a strong leader in both good times as well as challenging times, which makes her an asset as the community faces the challenges of COVID-19. Most remarkably, Amy has traveled during each hurricane evacuation, even with a new baby. The leadership team describes Amy as “steady, committed and focused on her work whenever she comes to work.” The enthusiasm and commitment of the staff were reflected in the joyful and celebratory nature of the entire program, which closed with the parting song, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” with piano accompaniment by Susanne Emge. The entire service, which was a celebration of the Bishop Gadsden staff, was joyful and uplifting for staff and residents alike.

  • Physics Today - February 2003
    Physics Today - February 2003 Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix Although she made essential contributions toward elucidating the structure of DNA, Rosalind Franklin is known to many only as seen through the distorting lens of James Watson's book, The Double Helix. by Lynne Osman Elkin - California State University, Hayward In 1962, James Watson, then at Harvard University, and Cambridge University's Francis Crick stood next to Maurice Wilkins from King's College, London, to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their "discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." Watson and Crick could not have proposed their celebrated structure for DNA as early in 1953 as they did without access to experimental results obtained by King's College scientist Rosalind Franklin. Franklin had died of cancer in 1958 at age 37, and so was ineligible to share the honor. Her conspicuous absence from the awards ceremony--the dramatic culmination of the struggle to determine the structure of DNA--probably contributed to the neglect, for several decades, of Franklin's role in the DNA story. She most likely never knew how significantly her data influenced Watson and Crick's proposal. Franklin was born 25 July 1920 to Muriel Waley Franklin and merchant banker Ellis Franklin, both members of educated and socially conscious Jewish families. They were a close immediate family, prone to lively discussion and vigorous debates at which the politically liberal, logical, and determined Rosalind excelled: She would even argue with her assertive, conservative father. Early in life, Rosalind manifested the creativity and drive characteristic of the Franklin women, and some of the Waley women, who were expected to focus their education, talents, and skills on political, educational, and charitable forms of community service.

    FIRST SECTION Experiences of the Lahti project Marja Holmila Introduction The Lahti Project is a multi component community action programme aimed at the prevention of alcohol related harms. The project site is the city of Lahti in Finland. The project relies to a great extent on the work of local professionals. It includes work in developing local alcohol policy discussion, education and information, health care intervention for heavy drinkers, youth work, support for family members and server training. Formative, process and outcome evaluation research are being conducted in order to assess the impact of the project (Holmila 1992; 1995). The programme is an experimental one, and its purpose is to obtain information about the feasibility and possibilities of local prevention. For that reason research has an important role in the project. The programme started during the autumn of 1992, and was mostly finished by the end of 1994, even if some parts are still being continued. The final report is currently being written, and will contain description of the processes, research results of the community's life- styles, responses to alcohol use and evaluation of the project (Holmila 1996). This paper will not be a comprehensive presentation of the Lahti project. The paper gives a short summary of the project’s main features, and discusses in more detail some issues related to the process of working and the relations between research and action. Starting the project The initiative to start Lahti project came from several sources simultaneously. When the wish to start such action had developed independently both in the city of Lahti, among alcohol educators and among researchers, the project began without difficulties.

You go into a rehearsal room which is sort of an atom and a lot of these rather busy particles, the actors, do their work and circle around the nucleus of a good text. And then, when you think you’re ready to be seen you sell tickets to a lot of photons, that is an audience, who will shine a light of their attention on what you’ve been up to.” Michael Blakemore, Director of Copenhagen ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For my endeavor, I am actually indebted to a number of people without whom this study would not have been possible. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my parents for their love, support and understanding that they have demonstrated in the last two years. I dedicate this dissertation to them. I am also grateful to Professor Teresa Botelho for her guidance and supervision during the course as well as for providing me with the necessary information regarding the research project. My special thanks also goes to Marta Bajczuk and Valter Colaço who have willingly helped me out with their abilities and who have given me a lot of attention and time when it was most required.

Más allá de la polémica sobre su discutida fidelidad histórica (habría que diferenciar aquí entre ficción “histórica” y “de época”), lo cierto es que el éxito de la trama se debe en gran medida al hecho de ser mostrada a través de los epistolares society papers de Lady Whistledown, personaje de ficción que se nutre, no obstante, de auténticos referentes históricos.

D. Dina Proestou, Ph. D. Structure is a common theme in Rosalind Franklin’s research work. Her earliest research focused on the structure of coal, shifted focus to DNA, and then to RNA in the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Based off of the physical and chemical makeup, Rosalind Franklin sought to understand the function of these molecules, and how they carried out processes such as reproduction or changes in configuration. She was intrigued by the existence of a deliberate order in life, a design that is specific in its purpose, and allows for efficient processes.

  • Chapter 19: the New Crystallography in France
    CHAPTER 19 The New Gystallography in France 19.1. THE PERIOD BEFORE AUGUST 1914 At the time of Laue’s discovery, research in crystallography was carried onin France principally in two laboratories, those of Georges Friedel and of Frederic Wallerant, at the School of Minesin St. etienne and at the Sorbonne in Paris, respectively. Jacques Curie, it is true, also investigated crystals in his laboratory and, together with his brother Pierre, discovered piezoelectricity which soon found extensive appli- cation in the measurement of radioactivity; but he had few students and formed no school. Among the research of Georges Friedel that on twinning is universally known and accepted, as are his studies of face development in relation to the lattice underlying the crystal structure. Frederic Wallerant’s best known work was on polymorphism and on crystalline texture. In 1912 both Friedel and Wallerant were deeply interested in the study of liquid crystals, a form of aggregation of matter only recently discovered by the physicist in Karlsruhe, 0. Lehmarm. Friedel’s co-worker was Franc;ois Grandjean, Wallerant’s Charles Mauguin. Laue, Friedrich and Knipping’s publication immedi- ately drew their attention, and Laue’s remark that the diagrams did not disclose the hemihedral symmetry of zincblende prompted Georges Friedel to clarify, 2 June 1913, the connection between the symmetries of the crystal and the diffraction pattern. If the passage of X-rays, like that of light, implies a centre of symmetry, i.e. if nothing dis- tinguishes propagation in a direction Al3 from that along BA, then X-ray diffraction cannot reveal the lack of centrosymmetry in a crystal, and a right-hand quartz produces the same pattern as a left- hand one.
