Special Thanks e recently completed another successful fund-raising year with more than W$6.7 million raised. The Annual Fund surpassed $1.7 million, a record-break- ing total. Gifts from all other sources–including grants for projects–totaled more than $5 million. We are grateful for the generosity of an increasing number of contributors–including members, staff, and friends; foundations, corporations, and associations; and Univer- sity Affiliates–who made these results possible. A complete list of contributors will be sent to all members in the fall and will also be available on the Academy’s website. From the President n 1993, Academy President Leo Beranek wrote in the Records of the Academy, “The Academy was founded on the idea that I this nation could be best served by an institution that avoided every narrow form of partisanship–one that sought to involve individuals whose interests were diverse, who espoused no single philosophy and belonged to no one profession. Today, as an institution free of public and private constraints, the Academy is uniquely situated to bring the intellectual resources of its membership to bear on the social and intellectual dilemmas facing the country and the world.” This theme of member engagement, of encouraging the Acad­ areas, and plans are underway to form committees in North Caro­ emy’s diverse membership to work together on “the social and lina and Southern California.

As a corrective, the Academy released a new report in early April, The State of the Humanities: Higher Edu- cation 2015 (available online at http://www.humanitiesindicators.org/binaries/pdf/HI_HigherEd2015.pdf ), which is intended to provide a more balanced and evidence-based depiction of the health of the humanities on college and univer- sity campuses. While it examines the trend that has fed the story of decline in the field–a shrinking share of degrees at the baccalaureate level–the report also notes signs of stability or improvement for the human­ ities fields, including evidence of rising interest in the humanities at the pre­baccalaureate level (indicated in rising numbers of ap tests taken and community college degrees earned), increases in funding (from low levels, in comparison to other fields), and a steady stream of new academic books in the field. The State of the Humanities: Higher Education 2015 draws on the lat­ est research and analysis from the Academy’s Humanities Indica­ tors (http://www.humanitiesindicators.org), an ongoing research initiative that combines government data and high­quality data from private sources (including the Academy’s humanities depart­ mental surveys) to illuminate key trends in the humanities.

  • 1999 Annual Report
    1999 1999 BANBURY CENTER DIRECTOR'S REPORT The Banbury Center program continues to be as eclectic and exciting as ever. The year was filled with more meetings than ever before-a record 23 of them! Laboratory scientists used the Center for seven in-house meetings, and local community groups came here on eight occasions. Together with the five neurobiology courses, there was hardly a week when the Center was not in use. Not surprisingly, 1999 was also a record year for the number of visitors to Banbury Center: 667 par­ ticipants attended the 23 meetings. The demographics of our participants remain much the same: 25% of visitors to Banbury Center came from abroad, with the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada lead­ ing the way. Of the American scientists, those from New York, Massachusetts, and California together accounted for more than 32% of the total. However, participants were drawn from no fewer than 42 states. This is the first year that we have been able to use the Meier House to accommodate participants, which proved to be wonderful. Now the number of participants that we can house on the Banbury estate matches the number we can have in the Conference Room-we do not have to transport peo­ ple between the Center and the main campus. Biological and biomedical research is becoming ever more interdisciplinary, and as it does so, it also becomes ever more difficult to categorize the topics of Banbury Center meetings. A meeting may deal with the same phenomenon in a range of organisms, or many different strategies may be used to study one phenomenon in a single species.

  • Beyond Darwin: Evolvability and the Generation of Novelty Marc Kirschner
    Kirschner M BMC Biology 2013, 11:110 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/11/110 INTERVIEW Open Access Beyond Darwin: evolvability and the generation of novelty Marc Kirschner Marc Kirschner graduated in biochemistry from North- western University, moving to Berkeley for his doctoral research and with positions at Berkeley, Oxford Univer- sity and Princeton before he took a professorship at Uni- versity of California San Francisco where with Andrew Murray he did seminal research on the control of the cell cycle in Xenopus egg extracts that led to the discov- ery of how cyclin drives the cell cycle, and with Tim Mitchison on the dynamic instability of microtubules. In 1993 he moved to Harvard where in 2003 he became the founding Chair of the HMS Department of Systems Biology and was named the John Franklin Enders Uni- versity Professor in 2009. The two books he wrote with John Gerhart, Cells, Embryos and Evolution (Blackwell, 1997) and The Plausibility of Life: Resolving Darwin’sDi- lemma (Yale University Press, 2005), reflect his deep and longstanding interest in how biological systems evolve. Here he gives his view of the evolution of evolvability and its profound importance for understanding and ap- plying biology. What is evolvability - how would you define it? Marc Kirschner In some sort of tautological way evolvability is simply the capacity of a system to evolve. But more than that, in a Darwinian sense it speaks to both the amount of effectively what I mean is that if you make random variation that is subject to selection, and the nature of changes in mechanical systems they inevitably either that variation.

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.

    Oct. 3, 2014 Jerrold Meinwald wins National Medal of Science By Anne Ju [email protected] Jerrold Meinwald, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has received the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for achievement in science and engineering. Meinwald received the medal in chemistry; other awards were bestowed in behavioral and social sciences, biology, engineering, mathematics and physical sciences, the White House announced Oct. 3. University Photography file photo Over his long career, Meinwald, Jerrold Meinwald, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has received the National Medal of Science in chemistry. who joined Cornell’s faculty in 1952 as an instructor in chemistry, has made fundamental discoveries of how chemicals act as repellants and attractants between organisms. He and the late Thomas Eisner, a longtime friend and colleague who won the National Medal of Science in 1994, are credited with establishing the feld of “chemical ecology” – the science that deals with the many ways animals, plants and microorganisms chemically interact. “It’s a very nice thing,” Meinwald said of the award. “It’s maybe a representation of a growing interest in the feld of chemical ecology.” Meinwald’s research has involved the isolation and identifcation of biologically active compounds from insect and other arthropod sources; pheromone systems of some amphibian and mammal species; and identifcation of messenger molecules involved in such systems and the understanding of underlying signal transduction pathways. Meinwald has helped decipher the intricate chemical strategies that insects use for a variety of activities: mating, location of food, protection of ofspring and defense against attackers.

    God Inside Out: Ељiva's Game of Dice, Don Handelman, Oxford University Press, 1997, 0195108450, 9780195108453, 219 pages. This book offers a new exploration of the mythology of the Hindu god Siva, who spends his time playing dice with his wife, to whom he habitually loses. The result of the game is our world, which turns the god inside-out and changes his internal composition. Hindus maintain that Siva is perpetually absorbed in this game, which is recreated in innumerable stories, poems, paintings, and sculptural carvings. This notion of the god at play, argue Handelman and Shulman, is one of the most central and expressive veins in the metaphysics elaborated through the centuries, in many idioms and modes, around the god. The book comprises three interlocking essays; the first presents the dice-game proper, in the light of the texts and visual depictions the authors have collected. The second and third chapters take up two mythic "sequels" to the game. Based on their analysis of these sequels, the authors argue that notions of "asceticism" so frequently associated with Siva, with Yoga, and with Hindu religion are, in fact, foreign to Hinduism's inherent logic as reflected in Siva's game of dice. They suggest an alternative reading of this set of practices and ideas, providing startling new insights into Hindu mythology and the major poetic texts from the classical Sanskrit tradition..
