  • Icons, Culture and Collective Identity of Postwar Hong Kong
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXII: 1 (2013) R. MAK & C. CHAN Icons, Culture and Collective Identity of Postwar Hong Kong Ricardo K. S. MAK & Catherine S. CHAN Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong S.A.R., China Abstract: Icons, which take the form of images, artifacts, landmarks, or fictional figures, represent mounds of meaning stuck in the collective unconsciousness of different communities. Icons are shortcuts to values, identity or feelings that their users collectively share and treasure. Through the concrete identification and analysis of icons of post-war Hong Kong, this paper attempts to highlight not only Hong Kong people’s changing collective needs and mental or material hunger, but also their continuous search for identity. Keywords: Icons, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Chinese, 1997, values, identity, lifestyle, business, popular culture, fusion, hybridity, colonialism, economic takeoff, consumerism, show business 1. Introduction: Telling Hong Kong’s Story through Icons It seems easy to tell the story of post-war Hong Kong. If merely delineating the sky-high synopsis of the city, the ups and downs, high highs and low lows are at once evidently remarkable: a collective struggle for survival in the post-war years, tremendous social instability in the 1960s, industrial take-off in the 1970s, a growth in economic confidence and cultural arrogance in the 1980s and a rich cultural upheaval in search of locality before the handover. The early 21st century might as well sum up the development of Hong Kong, whose history is long yet surprisingly short- propelled by capitalism, gnawing away at globalization and living off its elastic schizophrenia.

  • Gates Foundation Funds Major New Collaboration to Accelerate HIV Vaccine Development Global Network of 16 Research Teams to Tackle Critical Vaccine Design Challenges
    Contact: +1-206-709-3400 / [email protected] July 19, 2006 Gates Foundation Funds Major New Collaboration to Accelerate HIV Vaccine Development Global network of 16 research teams to tackle critical vaccine design challenges SEATTLE – The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today announced 16 grants totaling $287 million to create an international network of highly collaborative research consortia focused on accelerating the pace of HIV vaccine development. The grants will support a range of innovative approaches for designing an effective HIV vaccine, and bring together more than 165 investigators from 19 countries to tackle some of the biggest scientific challenges facing the field. Eleven consortia will focus on vaccine discovery, applying new scientific knowledge and cutting- edge research techniques to create and evaluate novel vaccine candidates. These consortia will be linked to five central laboratories and data analysis facilities, enabling investigators to openly share data and compare results, and allowing the most promising vaccine approaches to be quickly prioritized for further development. “An HIV vaccine is our best long-term hope for controlling the global AIDS epidemic, but it has proven to be a tremendously difficult scientific challenge,” said Dr. José Esparza, senior advisor on HIV vaccines for the Gates Foundation. “We have all been frustrated by the slow pace of progress in HIV vaccine development, yet breakthroughs are achievable if we aggressively pursue scientific leads and work together in new ways.” To date, most HIV vaccine research has been conducted by small teams of investigators working independently. While important research gains have been made, there is growing recognition that these efforts need to be supported by new large-scale, collaborative projects that can produce definitive answers to complex scientific questions.

June 22 –23, 2011 Henry George Kunkel 1916-1983 enry Kunkel received his B.S. degree from Princeton and his M.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University. He arrived at The Rockefeller Institute (now University) in 1945 where he spent his entire scientific career Huntil his death in 1983. His contributions to the field of basic and clinical immunology are legendary. He made numerous seminal observations in liver disease, rheumatic diseases and other allied disorders. He was perhaps best known for his pioneering and extensive studies on the immunoglobulins. His recognition that myeloma proteins were a model for the study of the structure of normal immunoglobulins had a global impact on investigations of the structure, function and inheritance of these molecules. The elucidation of the chain structure of gamma globulin and the recognition that immunoglobulins possessed individual antigenic specificity (idiotypes) were internationally recognized discoveries. Dr. Kunkel was the recipient of many awards and honors, including membership in the National Academy of Sciences, honorary degrees from Universities of Uppsala and Harvard, and recipient of the Lasker and Gairdner Awards and the Kovalenko Medal of the National Academy of Sciences.
