Breaking News #10! Dr. John O'Keefe Class of '63, Wins Nobel Prize and becomes CCNY's 10th Nobel Laureate Dr. John O'Keefe, a 1963 alumnus, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine October, 2014 The award, by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, is for Professor O'Keefe's co-discovery of cells "that constitute a positioning system in the brain." The Guardian newspaper dubbed it an "inner GPS" in the brain. The New York native is Director of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre in Neural Circuits and Behaviour at University College London (UCL) in England. He will share the Nobel Prize with the Norwegian husband-and-wife team May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser. After earning a bachelor's degree in psychology from City College, Professor O'Keefe received his doctorate in physiological psychology from McGill University, Canada, in 1967. He later moved to England for postdoctoral training at UCL and was appointed Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience there in 1987. Alumni can feel very proud in knowing that CCNY has more Nobel Laureates than any other public college in the nation. CCNY's nine previous Nobel Laureates are: Dr. Julius Axelrod, '33 (medicine 1970); Dr. Robert Hofstadter, '35 (physics 1961); Dr. Jerome Karle, '37 (chemistry 1985); Dr. Herbert A. Hauptman, '37 (chemistry 1985); Dr. Arthur Kornberg, '37 (medicine 1959); Dr. Kenneth Arrow, '40 (economics 1972); Dr. Leon M. Lederman, '43 (physics 1988) Dr. Arno A.

Coico Dear Alumni and Friends – Fall semester is underway at City College, and as you can imagine, the campus is full of engagement, excitement, and celebration. City College continues to be recognized as one of the best higher education institutions in the nation. We are featured in the Princeton Review’s 2015 edition of The Best 379 Colleges. Forbes has named City College one of America’s top 100 colleges in the Northeast for 2014, and U.S. News & World Report ranks us #1 in racial and ethnic diversity. The City College incoming freshmen class has the highest mean GPA among those of all the CUNY senior colleges. Additionally, nine high- achieving students from upper Manhattan and the Bronx are the latest recipients of the President's Community Scholars program, which I started in 2010, to study free at CCNY. To date, 44 students have received scholarships from the program. Recent research by City College faculty shows why we continue to attract the best scholars. Their work ranges from using brainwaves to predict audience reaction to using the mammalian nose to detect chemicals known as aldehydes. Associate Professor of English Emily Raboteau has won the 2014 American Book Award for “Searching for Zion” (Grove Press, 2014), and Division of Humanities and Arts Dean Eric Weiz has been named Distinguished Professor. Upcoming events include a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit on American soil, Antoni Gaudi’s famous “La Sagrada Familia” on display now through May 8, 2015 in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. We also celebrate the100th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Jonas Salk, one of our most distinguished alumni, through a one-day symposium on October 23 in the Great Hall. I encourage you to visit the campus and take part in all of the great things happening at City College. Sincerely, Lisa S.

    Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

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. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997.

    This is the second interview of Dr. Julius Axelrod Friday, January 26, 1996 Grosvenor Apartments in Bethesda, Maryland Interviewer: Dr. Martin Flavin Flavin: So, I feel that Julie Axelrod's early life is probably never going to be known except from what we're able to talk about, and I know he thinks it's uninteresting and I can understand why. If he thinks it's not fun to think about, then it's really not good and we shouldn't go beyond this session probably. We were just talking beforehand about getting into various graduate schools right after the end of the war and how different it was from what it became later on. I guess maybe I'll-- I'm interested in how you started reading. Now normally I shouldn't talk about myself, but I'll say one thing. I started reading, becoming an intellectual, very suddenly at 14. And it wasn't because of teachers, schools, or parents. My father was a writer and had thousands of books. None of them had any influence at all. It was because of the one boy who had always been within walking distance of where I lived and was my age, and I came back from boarding school in Europe and before that we'd been firing our .22 rifles around and playing with toy soldiers and things like that, and bang, he was transformed. He was interested in Marxism and in Hinduism and classical music. And we set up all these things in an abandoned tool shed and got our little study together and the first two books, the key books, were called Erewhon and South Wind, the first adult books I read, 1 and from then on I became a reader.

    The Federal Government: A Nobel Profession A Report on Pathbreaking Nobel Laureates in Government 1901 - 2002 INTRODUCTION The Nobel Prize is synonymous with greatness. A list of Nobel Prize winners offers a quick register of the world’s best and brightest, whose accomplishments in literature, economics, medicine, science and peace have enriched the lives of millions. Over the past century, 270 Americans have received the Nobel Prize for innovation and ingenuity. Approximately one-fourth of these distinguished individuals are, or were, federal employees. Their Nobel contributions have resulted in the eradication of polio, the mapping of the human genome, the harnessing of atomic energy, the achievement of peace between nations, and advances in medicine that not only prolong our lives, but “This report should serve improve their quality. as an inspiration and a During Public Employees Recognition Week (May 4-10, 2003), in an effort to recognize and honor the reminder to us all of the ideas and accomplishments of federal workers past and present, the Partnership for Public Service offers innovation and nobility of this report highlighting 50 American Nobel laureates the work civil servants do whose award-winning achievements occurred while they served in government or whose public service every day and its far- work had an impact on their career achievements.
