This alone makes it a suitable subject for a Witness Seminar but there are others that increase its value, notably the fact that a high proportion of the critical advances took place in the UK; not just the basic scientific research, but also the initial applications in clinical practice, particularly those involving inherited disorders. To see these topics discussed by the people who were actually involved in their creation makes fascinating reading; for myself it is tinged with regret at having been unable to attend and contribute to the seminar, but with some compensation from being able to look at the contributions more objectively than can a participant.

This physician would put you in contact with the most prominent oncologist he/she knows, who, in turn, would put you in contact with the expert you seek. Each of these well-connected individuals is a node in a social network that positions you just four steps from the critical information you need. This is the premise of the play Six Degrees of Separation: We live in a “small world” in which only several social connections separate any two people. Social science research has, indeed, upheld the notion that it takes only a handful of acquaintances to relay a letter to anyone in the United States or an e-mail to anyone in the world! The small-world principle organizes activities on many levels of complex systems. Cells, the basic units of biological function, are networks of communicating molecules. For example, each of the several hundred molecules involved in processing a nervous signal is, on average, separated by less than four connections from any other molecule. By the same token, people harness the small-world aspect of the Internet—hopping between prominent nodes to quickly locate information about even the most arcane topic.

PSH. George, can I start at the beginning and ask where were you born and brought up? GF. I was born in Užhorod— I must tell you a little story about Užhorod. An elderly gentleman died and went to heaven where he was received by Saint Peter. ‘Where were you born?’ asked Saint Peter. ‘The Austro-Hungarian Empire’ was the reply. ‘Where did you go to school?’ ‘Czechoslovakia.’ ‘Where did you get married?’ ‘Carpatho-Ruthenia. I was married on 15 March 1939 when Carpatho- Ruthenia was an independent republic for one day.’ ‘Where did you have children? ‘Hungary.’ ‘Where did your children grow up?’ ‘The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.’ ‘Where did you die?’ ‘Ukraine.’ Saint Peter reflected on this unusual set of answers. ‘Perhaps you have been sent to the wrong place because we do not have facilities for tourism up here. Why did you move around so much down there?’ ‘Move around? I was born in Užhorod and I died in Užhorod and I never once left Užhorod during my entire life’ PSH.

The development of these disciplines took place in a peculiar mix of politics and science that lead to a rapid growth in the ‘50s and the ‘60s, followed by an harsh crisis.

Kidd,1 and Kenneth K. Kidd1,* The polymorphic inversion on 17q21, sometimes called the microtubular associated protein tau (MAPT) inversion, is an ~900 kb inver- sion found primarily in Europeans and Southwest Asians. We have identified 21 SNPs that act as markers of the inverted, i.e., H2, haplo- type. The inversion is found at the highest frequencies in Southwest Asia and Southern Europe (frequencies of ~30%); elsewhere in Europe, frequencies vary from < 5%, in Finns, to 28%, in Orcadians. The H2 inversion haplotype also occurs at low frequencies in Africa, Central Asia, East Asia, and the Americas, though the East Asian and Amerindian alleles may be due to recent gene flow from Europe. Molecular evolution analyses indicate that the H2 haplotype originally arose in Africa or Southwest Asia. Though the H2 inversion has many fixed differences across the ~900 kb, short tandem repeat polymorphism data indicate a very recent date for the most recent common ancestor, with dates ranging from 13,600 to 108,400 years, depending on assumptions and estimation methods.

Lauter, Creative Director Judy Cumella Korabik, Program Coordinator Amy Cross, Program Assistant Malissa A.G. Hewitt, Laboratory Instructor Andrew M. Morotti, Laboratory Instructor Diane Esposito, Laboratory Instructor Flavio Della Seta, Laboratory Instructor Scott Bronson, Laboratory Instructor Michael Greenberg, Laboratory Instructor Joan Alexander, Laboratory Instructor In 1989, we first brought local 5th and 6th grade students into our Bio2000 Teaching Laboratory for a summer genetics camp, entitled Fun With DNA. That educational experiment tested the notion of whether or not young students are capable of understanding the Gene Age that they will inherit. The answer can be found in our 1996 visitation statistics – for the first time, middle school stu- dents (grades 5-8) replaced high school students as the DNALC’s largest clien- tele for lab instruction. A 1990 grant from the National Science Foundation supported our first organized effort to train middle-school faculty. A 1991 grant from the Hearst Foundation allowed us to recruit elementary educators Jane Conigliaro and Diane Jedlicka and to begin to rigorously implement programs for Long Island schools. Our first goal was to establish a substantial summer camp program – including Fun With DNA and its follow-up, World of Enzymes. Portledge School was added as a summer camp site to provide easier access for students from Nassau County. With later support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Barker Welfare Foundation, summer camps were conducted for minority students from Manhattan at the American Museum of Natural History and A.
