  • Sir Richard Doll, Epidemiologist – a Personal Reminiscence with a Selected Bibliography
    British Journal of Cancer (2005) 93, 963 – 966 & 2005 Cancer Research UK All rights reserved 0007 – 0920/05 $30.00 www.bjcancer.com Obituary Sir Richard Doll, epidemiologist – a personal reminiscence with a selected bibliography The death of Richard Doll on 24 July 2005 at the age of 92 after a short illness ended an extraordinarily productive life in science for which he received widespread recognition, including Fellowship of The Royal Society (1966), Knighthood (1971), Companionship of Honour (1996), and many honorary degrees and prizes. He is unique, however, in having seen both universal acceptance of his work demonstrating smoking as the main cause of the most common fatal cancer in the world and the relative success of strategies to reduce the prevalence of the habit. In 1950, 80% of the men in Britain smoked but this has now declined to less than 30%. Richard Doll qualified in medicine at St Thomas’ Hospital in 1937, but his epidemiological career began after service in the Second World War when he worked with Francis Avery Jones at the Central Middlesex Hospital on occupational factors in the aetiology of peptic ulceration. The completeness of Doll’s tracing of previously surveyed men so impressed Tony Bradford Hill that he offered him a post in the MRC Statistical Research Unit to investigate the causes of lung cancer. For the representations of Percy Stocks (Chief Medical Officer to the Registrar General) and Sir Ernest Kennaway had prevailed against the then commonly held view that the marked rise in lung cancer deaths in Britain since 1900 was due only to improved diagnosis.

    The Shaw Prize The Shaw Prize is an international award to honour individuals who are currently active in their respective fields and who have recently achieved distinguished and significant advances, who have made outstanding contributions in academic and scientific research or applications, or who in other domains have achieved excellence. The award is dedicated to furthering societal progress, enhancing quality of life, and enriching humanity’s spiritual civilization. Preference is to be given to individuals whose significant work was recently achieved and who are currently active in their respective fields. Founder's Biographical Note The Shaw Prize was established under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw. Mr Shaw, born in China in 1907, was a native of Ningbo County, Zhejiang Province. He joined his brother’s film company in China in the 1920s. During the 1950s he founded the film company Shaw Brothers (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. He was one of the founding members of Television Broadcasts Limited launched in Hong Kong in 1967. Mr Shaw also founded two charities, The Shaw Foundation Hong Kong and The Sir Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust, both dedicated to the promotion of education, scientific and technological research, medical and welfare services, and culture and the arts. ~ 1 ~ Message from the Chief Executive I warmly congratulate the six Shaw Laureates of 2014. Established in 2002 under the auspices of Mr Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Prize is a highly prestigious recognition of the role that scientists play in shaping the development of a modern world. Since the first award in 2004, 54 leading international scientists have been honoured for their ground-breaking discoveries which have expanded the frontiers of human knowledge and made significant contributions to humankind.

  • Kazutoshi Mori and Peter Walter Receive the 2014 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award
    Kazutoshi Mori and Peter Walter receive the 2014 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award Corinne L. Williams J Clin Invest. 2014;124(10):4138-4142. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI78419. News Cells are continuously faced with life-and-death decisions based on their ability to handle stressful situations. One indicator of stress is the accumulation of unfolded proteins within the ER, which induces a transcriptional cascade aimed at increasing the folding capacity of the ER. If the burden is too great and homeostasis cannot be restored, the response shifts from damage control to the induction of apoptotic pathways. This unfolded protein response (UPR) is conserved among all eukaryotes, and dysfunction in this pathway underlies many human diseases, including diabetes and cancer. The 2014 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research award honors Kazutoshi Mori of Kyoto University and Peter Walter of the UCSF (Figure 1) for their contributions toward unraveling the pathways involved in mediating the complex cellular response to ER stress. A simple question In the 1970s, the identification of a set of proteins that were induced in response to viral transformation set the stage for understanding heat shock-independent cellular stress responses. These particular proteins were constitutively present in cells and notably increased in response to glucose deprivation (1) or agents that block post-translational glycosylation, such as tunicamycin. Based on this apparent glucose-dependent regulation, they became known as glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs). One

    PHYSICS OF INFORMATION IN NONEQUILIBRIUM SYSTEMS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI`I AT MANOA¯ IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PHYSICS MAY 2019 By Elan Stopnitzky Thesis Committee: Susanne Still, Chairperson Jason Kumar Yuriy Mileyko Xerxes Tata Jeffrey Yepez Copyright c 2019 by Elan Stopnitzky ii To my late grandmother, Rosa Stopnitzky iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my wonderful family members Benny, Patrick, Shanee, Windy, and Yaniv for the limitless love and inspiration they have given to me over the years. I thank as well my advisor Susanna Still, who has always put great faith in me and encouraged me to pursue my own research ideas, and who has contributed to this work and influenced me greatly as a scientist; my friend and collaborator Lee Altenberg, whom I have learned countless things from and who contributed significantly to this thesis; and my collaborator Thomas E. Ouldridge, who also made important contributions. Finally, I would like to thank my partner Danelle Gallo, whose kindness and support have been invaluable to me throughout this process. iv ABSTRACT Recent advances in non-equilibrium thermodynamics have begun to reveal the funda- mental physical costs, benefits, and limits to the use of information. As the processing of information is a central feature of biology and human civilization, this opens the door to a physical understanding of a wide range of complex phenomena. I discuss two areas where connections between non-equilibrium physics and information theory lead to new results: inferring the distribution of biologically important molecules on the abiotic early Earth, and the conversion of correlated bits into work.

  • Phylogenetic Signal in Phonotactics
    Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics Jayden L. Macklin-Cordes,1 Claire Bowern2 and Erich R. Round1,3,4 1 The University of Queensland | 2 Yale University | 3 University of Surrey | 4 Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree infer- ence. Here, we show how a phylogenetic approach opens the possibility of gaining historical insights from entirely new kinds of linguistic data – in this instance, statistical phonotactics. We extract phonotactic data from 112 Pama-Nyungan vocabularies and apply tests for phylogenetic signal, quanti- fying the degree to which the data reflect phylogenetic history. We test three datasets: (1) binary variables recording the presence or absence of biphones (two-segment sequences) in a lexicon (2) frequencies of transitions between segments, and (3) frequencies of transitions between natural sound classes. Australian languages have been characterized as having a high degree of phonotactic homogeneity. Nevertheless, we detect phylogenetic signal in all datasets. Phylogenetic signal is greater in finer-grained frequency data than in binary data, and greatest in natural-class-based data. These results demonstrate the viability of employing a new source of readily extractable data in historical and comparative linguistics. Keywords: historical signal, phylogenetic comparative methods, historical linguistics, phonology, comparative linguistics, linguistic phylogenetics, Pama-Nyungan, Australian languages 1.
