  • The Thrill of Discovery ARBOR H
    @ GraceAuditorium Upcoming publiclectures C OLD S PRING H ARBOR L ABORATORY Spring 2009 • Volume 29 • Number 1 of The discovery thrill The Harlem DNALabopens TRANSCRIPTH A R B O R C O L D S P R I N G HARBOR LABORATORY PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Many people still believe that science moves forward in great leaps, the result of epoch-altering discoveries made at intervals of many years by great men working in isolation. No one can be blamed for holding on to this romantic (not to mention gender-biased) notion of the way science works. The image has been burnished in the popular imagination by countless portrayals in mass media. Yet the truth about science and scientists is even more interesting, and even more remarkable. We have evidence of this in the work performed every day at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Science moves forward constantly and in increments usu- ally so small as to fall beneath the threshold of media atten- tion. Our progress is by no means routine, but it is unrelenting and inexorable. This, despite short-term chal- lenges ranging from the conceptual to the technological to the fiscal. The current year is one whose challenge is expressed in the language of dollars and cents, pounds, euros, and yen. The global economy has contracted, and Harbor Transcript this affects our work at the cutting edge, where experi- Volume 29, No. 1 ments and experimenters don’t come cheaply. But the 2009 recent downturn will not stop our progress. It cannot. Harbor Transcript is published by the Department of Public Science in the 21st century is a profoundly collaborative Affairs of Cold Spring Harbor and cross-disciplinary enterprise, involving men, and at Laboratory.

  • Banbury Center Director's Report
    BANBURY CENTER DIRECTOR'S REPORT The Banbury Center continues to be used almost year-round. There were 26 meetings in the Banbury meetings program, and Laboratory staff came to the Center for seven internal meetings. The graduate students of The Watson School of Biological Sciences held in March a week-long course on evolution, and local community groups used our facilities on five occasions. Of the more than 650 participants in the meetings in 2001, 104 (14%) came from abroad. American participants came from 40 states, with 3 states-New York, California, and Maryland-providing one third of the visitors. The program of meetings was, as usual, catholic in its range of topics. Science Policy Napster is a good example of how the Internet is making, and provoking, extraordinary changes in the dissemination of anything that can be digitized. The world of scientific publishing is not immune from these changes and Electronic Access to Scientific Literature (John Inglis and Jan Witkowski, April 16-18) was held to examine ideas and initiatives intended to lower the barriers to electronic access to the scientific literature. Stimulated by the PubMed Central Initiative, the participants examined this and its implications for commercial publishers. Great hope is being held for the applications of genomics to health care. This depends on having not only the sequence of the human genome, but also appropriate technologies for using that infor­ mation and, just as importantly but often neglected, the appropriate health care and regulatory poli­ cies. The purpose of Integrating Genomics Technologies in Health Care: Practice and Policy Challenges (Finley Austin and Thame Kreiner, February 25-28) was to assess where the technology is heading; to educate participants in what is happening in fields other than their own; and to consider broader issues such as social impact, safety, and oversight.

  • The Secret World of Jim Simons
    The Secret World of Jim Simons by Hal Lux Content provided by Institutional Investor Magazine (Americas and International Editions) Published on November 1, 2000 How does this prize-winning mathematician and former code breaker rack up his astonishing returns? Try a little luck— and a firm full of Ph.D.s. Last April the State University of New York at Stony Brook held a gala reception at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel in midtown Manhattan to celebrate raising a record $1 million — a tidy sum for a state school. After cocktails a balding, white-haired man rose from his seat on the dais to thank the sellout crowd, which included such celebrities as Oscar-winning movie director Martin Scorsese, for its generosity. "I told my wife, ‘We raised $1 million for Stony Brook,’" said the speaker, hedge fund manager James Simons. "She said, ‘Gross or net?’" Chances are you haven’t heard of Jim Simons, which is just fine by him. Nor are you alone. Many on Wall Street, including competitors in his specialty, quantitative trading, haven’t heard of Simons or of his operation, Renaissance Technologies Corp., either. And that’s simply extraordinary — because, gross or net, Simons may very well be the best money manager on earth. An extreme judgment? Perhaps. Certainly, there has been no end of claimants to the title. And one after another, over the past few years, these celebrated managers have either blown up or folded their tents. After big reverses, Julian Robertson closed down Tiger Management, and George Soros scaled back the activities of his Quantum Fund this year.
