  • You Saw the Grammys, but You Missed the More Important Awards
    You Saw the Grammys, But You Missed the More Important Awards Future Frontiers Kira Peikoff February 02, 2018 The 2018 Stem Cell Action Awards, honoring recipients for advocacy, leadership, and inspiration, presented by the Regenerative Medicine Foundation. (Courtesy RMF) Last week in Miami, more than 450 researchers, physicians, lawyers, ethicists, and executives gathered from far-flung corners of the globe to share the latest updates in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Sure, a science conference might not seem as glamorous as a celebrity- filled Madison Square Garden, but it’s the place to be if you care about breakthroughs that could give you a longer and healthier life. Here are our top ten takeaways about what’s hot and what’s happening worldwide: “The places you least expect will turn up to produce some really extraordinary things.” 1) The future of stem cell treatment may involve the creation of a universal cell line that is genetically modified so every patient’s immune system will accept it. One of the leading scientists at the convention, Japanese stem cell pioneer Dr. Norio Nakatsuji, dubbed this quest a “very hot topic” right now. Being able to produce one safe cell line for everyone would be much cheaper and faster than having to create and grow patient-specific cells. “It is theoretically possible to genetically modify the lines so everyone can accept them,” said Nakatsuji. A Seattle-based biotech company aptly named Universal Cells is leading the way in this promising area. 2) Japan was the world leader in stem cell research 10 years ago, but has since fallen behind the United States for reasons that some researchers find frustrating.

  • ASJA Handout: Tips and Resources for Freelancing at a Younger Age Moderator: Kira Peikoff TIPS: • Hit Your Deadlines. It's
    ASJA Handout: Tips and Resources for Freelancing at a Younger Age Moderator: Kira Peikoff TIPS: Hit your deadlines. It’s more important to be good and on time than great and a week late. Getting a no on a story idea isn’t the end of the world. And it doesn’t mean you’re a bad writer or that the idea was bad. There are a million reasons why an editor can’t assign you a story; you’ll hear no a lot. Don’t get discouraged or take it personally. Move on. Don’t be afraid to email an editor out of the blue with a story idea. More often than not, you’ll get a no. But not all the time. They can’t say yes if they don’t know about the idea. Find a freelancer friend with whom you can complain about editors and vent your freelancing frustrations. Your friends with real jobs won’t understand the specifics of your frustrations. Go running in the middle of the day. Go to an afternoon movie. Go to a bar at 2pm on a Friday. Take a morning off. There are plenty of drawbacks to freelancing, so you have to take advantage of the benefits. Don’t be a jerk. Be nice and be available. Think in terms of relationships, not individual assignments. An editor who can assign you steady, ongoing work is more valuable than an editor who assigns you a one-off story. Nurture those relationships with anchor clients by pitching lots of relevant ideas, delivering on time and being easy to work with (respond to revision requests, pay attention to the house style guide, etc.) Build your referrals.

    Time is of the Essence: The Centrality of Time in Science Plays and the Cultural Implications By © 2017 Jeanne Tiehen Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Rebecca Rovit Mechele Leon John Gronbeck-Tedesco Iris Smith Fischer Philip Baringer Date Defended: April 3, 2017 The dissertation committee for Jeanne Tiehen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Time is of the Essence: The Centrality of Time in Science Plays and the Cultural Implications Chair: Rebecca Rovit Date Approved: April 3, 2017 ii Abstract Time is of the Essence: The Centrality of Time in Science Plays and the Cultural Implications examines how time operates within the narrative and structure of science plays. Combining analysis of play texts and production critiques with phenomenological theories of time and embodiment, and also exploring related theories about time in physics and philosophy, I extrapolate what science plays may illuminate about our cultural relationship to science because of how we experience time—both in and out of the theatre. In the dissertation I investigate three groups of science plays: 1) contemporary plays that display time in innovative ways, such as Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia (1993), Anna Ziegler’s Photograph 51 (2011), Shelagh Stephenson’s An Experiment with an Air Pump (2000), and Nick Payne’s Constellations (2012); 2) plays about the atomic bomb that presented
