Herb began his adult life during the Depression. With no money and a new wife he took up work as a machinist, a logical field for a biology major! He moved to L.A. where he worked for Lockheed building aircrafts during WW ll. Working as a machinist for a large company he became a union organizer and leader. As such he helped protect the welfare and wages of 100s of employees. Herb filed a lawsuit that led to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding the right of workers to organize. Herb and his family moved back East where he decided to return to a scientific career at age 40. The whole family pitched in to make it possible for him to study full time at the University of Pennsylvania where he got his Phd in physiology. He first worked at the National Science Foundation after which he moved to NIH as a grants administrator, where he enjoyed a long illustrious career.

  • International Olympic Committee Bans Political Statements by Athletes at Games
    International Olympic Committee bans political statements by athletes at games Jan. 9, 2020 By Associated Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland — No taking a knee at the Olympics. No hand gestures with political meaning. No disrespect at medal ceremonies. The International Olympic Committee published guidelines Thursday specifying which types of athlete protests will not be allowed at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Athletes are prohibited by the Olympic Charter's Rule 50 from taking a political stand in the field of play — like the raised fists by American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Mexico City Games. Today’s Olympians now know more about which acts of “divisive disruption” will lead to disciplinary action in Tokyo. They can still express political opinions in official media settings or on social media accounts. Athletes who break protest rules at the July 24-Aug. 9 Tokyo Games face three rounds of disciplinary action — by the IOC, a sport’s governing body and a national Olympic body. The new guidelines come after two American athletes were reprimanded by the U.S. Olympic Committee for medal podium protests at the Pan-American Games in August in Lima, Peru. Fencer Race Imboden kneeled and hammer thrower Gwen Berry raised a fist in protest. Both were put on probation for 12 months, a period that covers the Tokyo Olympics. Other protests in 2019 included swimmers from Australia and Britain refusing to join world championship gold medalist Sun Yang on the podium because the Chinese star has been implicated in doping violations. “It is
