    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES JOHN SPANGLER N ICHOLAS 1895—1963 A Biographical Memoir by J A N E M . OPPENHEIMER 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 1969 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN SPANGLER NICHOLAS March 10,1895-September 11,1963 BY JANE M. OPPENHEIMER There is a line among the fragments of the Greek poet Archilo- chus which says: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." Scholars have differed about the correct in- terpretation of these dark words, which may mean no more than that the fox, for all his cunning, is defeated by the hedgehog's one defense. But, taken figuratively, the words can be made to yield a sense in which they mark one of the deepest differences which divide writers and thinkers, and, it may be, human beings in gen- eral. For there exists a great chasm between those, on one side, who relate everything to a single central vision, one system less or more coherent or articulate, in terms of which they understand, think and feel—a single, universal, organizing principle in terms of which alone all that they are and say has significance—and, on the other side, those who pursue many ends, often unrelated and even con- tradictory, connected, if at all, only in some de facto way, for some psychological or physiological cause, related by no moral or aesthetic principle; these last lead lives, perform acts, and entertain ideas that are centrifugal rather than centripetal, their thought is scattered or diffused, moving on many levels, seizing upon the essence of a vast variety of experiences and objects for what they are in themselves, without, consciously or unconsciously, seeking to fit them into, or exclude them from, any one unchanging, all- embracing, sometimes self-contradictory and incomplete, at times fanatical, unitary inner vision.

We have attempted to objectively review the critical evidence of record in the Cuban Five case and, for the first time that we are aware, synthesize the case in one comprehensive document for consideration by your Administration. Based on our review of the record, we believe there are strong grounds for humanitarian release of the remaining three members of the Cuban Five still serving federal prison sentences in the U.S. and their removal to Cuba, whether under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution or pursuant to the well-established Presidential power to enter into Executive Agreements with other governments affirmed.

  • Of Tissue Culture
    Medical History, 1979, 23: 279-296. ALEXIS CARREL AND THE MYSTICISM OF TISSUE CULTURE by J. A. WITKOWSKI* SUMMARY ALEIS CARREL was one of the pioneers of tissue culture and its chief publicist. He was largely responsible for the early development of the technique, but although he made a number of practical contributions, it was his influence on his contemporaries that was particularly significant. Carrel's tissue culture techniques were based on his surgical expertise and they became increasingly complicated procedures. Contem- porary opinion of his work was that the methods were extremely difficult, an opinion enhanced by the emphasis Carrel himself laid on the problems of tissue culture techniques. Because of his flair for publicity, Carrel's views dominated the field and led to a decline in interest in tissue culture which persisted for many years after he ceased tissue culture studies. INTRODUCTION In 1907 Ross G. Harrison published a short note entitled 'Observations on the living developing nerve fibre'" that described his latest research on the growth and development of the nervous system. He attempted to distinguish between the out- growth theory of His and the intercellular cytoplasmic bridge theory of Hensen by studying the behaviour of fragments of tadpole spinal cord incubated in a clot of lymph in a hollow-ground glass slide. Harrison found that nerve fibres grew out from the explants by active movements of the nerve fibre tips and he thus resolved one of the major anatomical controversies2 of the time in favour of His. However, these experiments aroused much wider interest, for the potential of the tissue culture technique devised by Harrison was immediately recognized, and Abercrombie has described this work as an "astonishing stride forward in the history of biology".' Tissue culture is now one of the most widely applied techniques in *J.

  • Are Brain Organoids Equivalent to Philosophical Zombies?
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 3 April 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202004.0028.v1 Are Brain Organoids Equivalent to Philosophical Zombies? Mainá Bitar QIMR Berghofer Institute, Australia [email protected] Abstract Along just over a century of research we moved from learning how to cultivate tissues in a dish to grasping the concepts for creating an entire brain in a vat. As we approach the divisive moment in which we can first detect signs of awareness in such artificially developed organoids, we need to lay foundation for what lays ahead. It is crucial that ethical, legal and moral implications of organoid research are clear and that boundaries are set to separate scientific progress from human life preservation. The largest obstacle may be the definition of consciousness itself, which has arguably been historically neglected by philosophy, psychology and neurosciences at large. One reason may be the difficulties posed by the underlying qualities of awareness, such as its subjective and heterogeneous nature. Another reason may lie on the possibly that consciousness is an overarching emergent property of our brain. For the time being, one can see brain organoids as philosophical zombies, physical analogues of the human brain which mimic sentient human reactions but lack experiential properties of sensation (a.k.a. qualia).

Abstract In recent years, human skin has been explored as a medium, metaphor, and milieu. Images of and objects made from skin flesh out the critical role it plays in experiences of embodiment such as reflexivity, empathy, and relationality, expanding conceptions of difference. This project problematizes the correlation between the appearance of the epidermis and a person’s identity. By depicting the subject as magnified, fragmented, anatomized patches of skin, “skin portraiture”—a sub-genre of portraiture I have coined—questions what a portrait is and what it can achieve in contemporary art. By circumnavigating and obfuscating the subject’s face, skin portraiture perforates the boundaries and collapses the distance between bodies.

  • Harrison, Ross Granville (13 Jan
    Harrison, Ross Granville (13 Jan. 1870-30 Sept. 1959), biologist, was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, the son of Samuel Harrison, a mechanical engineer, and Catherine Barrington Diggs. Harrison's family moved from Germantown to Baltimore during his childhood, and he prepared at local schools to enter the Johns Hopkins University in 1886. Declaring his interest in medicine at that time, he completed his A.B. at age nineteen and continued on to graduate school in biology at Johns Hopkins, finishing his Ph.D. there in 1894. Along the way he established close lifelong friendships with fellow students such as Edwin Grant Conklin and Thomas Hunt Morgan as well as developed a lifelong love for hiking trips and began the research interest in experimental embryology that occupied his entire career. Harrison pursued his medical interests through biology--for, as he said, medicine was essentially applied biology--and through his studies for an M.D. in Germany. This was an exciting time in biology at Johns Hopkins, where students studied morphology with William Keith Brooks and physiology with Henry Newell Martin. Those interested in morphological problems such as anatomy or embryology also spent summers in fieldwork, either through the Chesapeake Zoological Laboratory in Jamaica, Bermuda, or in North Carolina, or at the United States Fish Commission in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Harrison spent 1890 in Woods Hole and 1892 with Brooks's group in Jamaica. Although he did not pursue his study of marine organisms, Harrison clearly found the experiences at these research stations valuable and was pleased to serve on the board of trustees at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole from 1908 to 1940.

NEWTON HARVEY DWIN GRANT CONKLIN'S guiding principle in life was service, a Erule of conduct which he expressed in an address at the dedi- cation of the new brick building of the Marine Biological Labora- tory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in 1925: "Our strongest social instincts are for service; the joy of life is in progress; the desire of all men is for immortality through their work." No better example of this precept can be advanced than his devoted attention to the affairs of die National Academy of Sciences as a member of its council and his labors for many other institutions with which he was associated during a working career of well over sixty years. Most of these were centers of learning, such as Ohio Wesleyan and Northwestern Universities, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University (from 1908); others were learned societies like the American Philosophical Society (from 1897), the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (from 1896), The Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology (Advisory Board from 1905), or labora- tories engaging primarily in research, like the Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, Massachusetts (Trustee from 1897), and the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (Trustee from 1926).
