Hook'd! …to Biotechnology February 29, 2016: Volume 1, Issue 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL "Science is not a boy's game, it's not a girl's game. It's everyone's game. It's about where we are and where we're going; well said by the former NASA Ambassador; Nichelle Nichols, when you put yourself in science, it doesn't matter if you are woman or man: your mission is to find the solution and the important thing is your ability, your intelligence and your determination. And we’re in an age where science and technology are needed in day to day life, and the world demands young girls to have this understanding and pursue and discover in the enchanting world of science.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997.

    BARBARA MIGEON INTERVIEW Session 1 - June 2, 2005 I. Family Background and Education JENNIFER CARON: It is June 2nd, 2005, and Professor Nathaniel Comfort and I are with Dr. Barbara Migeon in her office at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School. My name is Jennifer Caron, and we're here to do her oral history interview for the Medical Genetics Project. We'd like to start at the very beginning. When and where were you born? BARBARA MIGEON: I was born on July 31st, 1931, in Rochester, New York. JC: Could you tell us a little about your parents? BM: My parents were Russian immigrants, not immediate. My mother was born here and my father, I think, was born here. He was the first in his family of eight sibs, to go to college. He went to medical school and was a general practitioner. My mother hadn't gone to college. They met and married, and she was a real stay-at-home wife and mother. JC: Do you have brothers and sisters? BM: I'm the oldest and I have a sister who's just eleven months younger than I am and a brother who was born six years later. JC: What plans did your family have about the education for all of you? BM: I'm sure that my mother wanted me to have the education she didn't have, but she was really quite upset with my father, who from the time I was five years old pushed me to think about medicine as a career. She kept saying, "She'll never have a happy life.

  • Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: from Dynamite to DNA
    Open Access Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal NOBEL PRIZE RETROSPECTIVE AFTER 115 YEARS Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: From Dynamite to DNA Marshall A. Lichtman, M.D.* Department of Medicine and the James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY, USA ABSTRACT Alfred Nobel was one of the most successful chemists, inventors, entrepreneurs, and businessmen of the late nineteenth century. In a decision later in life, he rewrote his will to leave virtually all his fortune to establish prizes for persons of any nationality who made the most compelling achievement for the benefit of mankind in the fields of chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace among nations. The prizes were first awarded in 1901, five years after his death. In considering his choice of prizes, it may be pertinent that he used the principles of chemistry and physics in his inventions and he had a lifelong devotion to science, he suffered and died from severe coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis, and he was a bibliophile, an author, and mingled with the literati of Paris. His interest in harmony among nations may have derived from the effects of the applications of his inventions in warfare (“merchant of death”) and his friendship with a leader in the movement to bring peace to nations of Europe. After some controversy, including Nobel’s citizenship, the mechanisms to choose the laureates and make four of the awards were developed by a foundation established in Stockholm; the choice of the laureate for promoting harmony among nations was assigned to the Norwegian Storting, another controversy.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

These letters reflect the social, cultural, religious, and political developments in the region as the agents worked to provide education and religious opportunities to the freedmen who struggled to create and explore their new liberties as a freed culture. The letters contained in this collection reflect the personal feelings and thoughts of the AMA agents and a few freedmen during the turmoil of the Civil War.
