THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY RESEARCH Chlamydomonas mating PROFILES SUMMER 1986 Movers and Shapers Chlamydomonas rheinhardtii is a plant that swims, a microscopic member of the algae family equipped with a pair of hair-like projections, called flagella, with which it breaststrokes around in ponds and streams and in test tubes in David Luck's labora­ tory. Dr. Luck is neither a botanist nor a freshwater ecologist. He is a cell biologist. What interests him about Chlamydomonas are its microtubules-slender, hollow tubes inside its single­ celled body and its flagella. Microtubules are present in virtually all plant and animal cells from Chlamydomonas to man. They play critical roles in cellular activities. "What makes microtubules particularly in­ teresting," says Dr. Luck, "is that they play different roles at different stages of a cell's life cycle as well as special roles in specialized types of cells. " David Luck in his laboratory Among their general tasks, microtubules form the skeletons examining a film showing that hold cells in shape.

Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, and House Minority Leader McCarthy: We are writing you today to urge you to reject the “For the People Act” otherwise known as H.R. 1 or S. 1, which is a dangerous overreach by the federal government into the administration of elections. Each state legislature should have the freedom and flexibility to determine practices that best meet the needs of their respective states. A one-size-fits-all approach mandated by Congress is not the solution to any of our problems. These bills intrude upon our constitutional rights, and further sacrifice the security and integrity of the elections process. We firmly believe the authority to legislate and regulate these changes should be left with the states. H.R. 1 and S. 1 blatantly undermine the extensive work we, as election officials, have completed in order to provide safe, accessible voting options for our constituencies.

Weber Statement on Signing Bipartisan Letter to CISA Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales SACRAMENTO, CA – California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber issued the following statement on signing the letter to Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requesting an expansion of federal efforts to combat foreign disinformation.

In 2020, our local and state election officials worked tirelessly to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation perpetuated by foreign actors seeking to diminish trust in our elections." "Without CISA's leadership combating this threat at the federal level, we would not be able to call the 2020 General Election the most secure in our nation's history. For this reason, I gladly join my bipartisan colleagues in calling on CISA not only to continue this vital work but expand its efforts to combat the ongoing threat of foreign interference in our elections."

  • The Faculty of Medicine, Harvard University
    Ruth Sager Ruth Sager should be remembered above all as a gifted, original, and imaginative scientist who loved her life of exploring nature, and in her later years, brought her gifts and passion to investigating the scourge of breast cancer. Her discovery of science came through an epiphany. She enrolled at the University of Chicago with the intention to study music or literature. The University’s insistence on a broad liberal arts education brought Ruth to courses in biology, where she is said to have encountered the physiologist, Professor Anton Carlson, and was so taken by his course in physiology that she switched her major to biology and her concentration to physiology. She found all her science courses stimulating and at first thought medicine would be her career choice. Having received her B.S. (Phi Beta Kappa) from the University in 1938, Ruth spent the war years first as a secretary, and later in a graduate program at Rutgers University, where she participated in a wartime research project. She obtained her master’s degree in Plant Physiology in 1944. The title of her master’s thesis was “Nutritional Status of the Tomato Seedling in Relation to Successful Transplanting.” The taste of research and her duties as a teaching assistant at Rutgers convinced her that a life of laboratory research and teaching was her true calling, so she enrolled in 1945 for a Ph.D. at Columbia University, and wisely selected genetics as her field. Professor Marcus M. Rhoades was her thesis advisor, and the genetics of corn her special area.
