NOBEL PLEA FOR PEACE IN CROATIA
Many people throughout the world contributed to the international recognition of Croatia (January 15, 1992). The following is a list of 112 Nobel prize winners (in alphabetical order) who signed an appeal to stop the Yugoslav army's aggression against Croatia that started in 1991 (The New York Times, January 14th, 1992).
An Appeal by 112 Nobel Laureates
For Peace in Croatia
During the past several weeks the Yugoslav Army has escalated its war against Croatia. Dozens of villages have been razed. Many historical monuments have been destroyed. Several cities, indluding Croatia's capital of Zagreb, have been bombed. Over 2,000 people have been killed. The undeclared war has already produced more than 100,000 refugees. The violence and destruction unleashed in Croatia is on a scale unknown in Europe since the Second World War. Innocent civilans are massacred. Hospitals and places of worship are destroyed. Conscience demands that we raise our voices against this senseless war. We appeal to the Western and Eastern governments to stop the Yugoslav Army wanton destruction. We appeal to all humanitarian organizations to provide aid for all the victims of the Yugoslav military brutality. We appeal to men and women of conscience to speak up against indifference to the plight of Croatian people who are facing not only the danger of total destruction of their country, but also the threat of their own extinction.

Nobel Prizes in Neuroscience
Part I
The Nobel Prize is one of the most prestigious honors that a scientist can be awarded. This article summarizes of the Nobel Prize-wining work by people who changed our view of the nervous system through their research and discoveries.

"in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system"
Camillo Golgi (Italy) Nobel Fnd. NPIA
Santiago Ramon y Cajal (Spain) Nobel Fnd. NPIA
Cajal and Golgi shared the Nobel Prize for their tremendous contribution to our understanding o the anatomical structure of the brain. Interestingly, they both had different theories about the nature of contacts between nerve cell. Despite this, each scientists produced a large body of work and refined techniques histological techniques impacted future generations of neuroanatomists. Some of this work is described in a previous feature article

Prions' Changeability: Nuclear magnetic resonance shows more pieces of the puzzle
By Ricki Lewis Prions have been a tough sell. Against a backdrop of the "DNA to RNA to protein" credo, the idea that the same amino acid sequence could exist in multiple forms, both normal and deranged, seemed like heresy. But since Stanley Prusiner , a professor of neurology, virology, and biochemistry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), named the agent that causes the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) "proteinaceous infectious particles" in 1982, evidence has been steadily accumulating that these prion proteins can indeed set up a deadly chain reaction that renders the brains of 85 mammalian species similar in appearance to Swiss cheese. Yet despite the mounting evidence, many demonstrations of prion action have been inferred, indirect, or incomplete. A view of how the same molecule can take on different guises has been lackinguntil now. Thomas James , chairman of the department of pharmaceutical chemistry at UCSF, with Prusiner and others, has identified the changeling part of the prion protein (PrP).

de en fr EUROPA European Commission Research ... Agriculture and Food Date published : 11/04/2001 Investigating the past to unlock the present Whether it is advancing or 'blocked', science has problems when it comes to communication. An initial step, too often neglected, is to refer back to the past and retrace the complex meanderings of scientific thought, with all its doubts, oversights and uncertainties. It was in 1732 that zoologists first described scrapie , which was none other than the very first example of a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Apart from the infected sheep, there were no fatalities, and this common disease was accepted as just one of the hazards of sheep farming, one that man learned to live with without asking too many questions. It was 150 years later, in 1920-21, that a new disease was discovered, affecting humans this time, and known as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease or CJD. This abnormal, fatal illness was extremely rare - 0.4 cases per million inhabitants - and affected elderly people. Its appearance seemed to be mostly sporadic (85% of cases) but it was also sometimes found to be hereditary. For many decades science showed at best a moderate interest in these neuro-degenerative diseases, which were rare, difficult to characterise and mysterious in their mechanisms. Only the inquisitive few were intrigued enough by phenomena which reduced the brain - whether human or animal - to a sponge-like mass, to study them.

AIDS: PUBLIC CONCERN BEGINS TO (PREMATURELY) WANE
A growing perception on the part of many Americans that the threat of AIDS is diminishing-along with a maelstrom of reports about failed potential treatments-could be pushing public concern over AIDS into the doldrums. "We're really in the long-haul stage now. A lot of the initial terror, but also a lot of the initial excitement [over early scientific breakthroughs], has worn off. This is not a fine time for AIDS, if ever there was one," said Gerald Friedland, professor of medicine, epidemiology and public health at Yale University School of Medicine, speaking at Beth Israel Hospital on Nov. 29. Friedland's lecture was part of a universitywide commemoration of AIDS Awareness Week. Symposia, exhibits, films, plays and musical performances, taking place at Harvard Medical School and on the main Harvard campus, drew renewed attention to the global problem of AIDS. A central message that emerged from events at HMS is that finding a cure for AIDS is no longer seen by the public as a top priority. This lessening of concern is due, in part, to the lack of clinical breakthroughs. "Nearly 15 years into the AIDS pandemic we have only limited and expensive treatments," said Max Essex, Mary Woodard Lasker Professor of Health Sciences at HSPH and director of the Harvard Aids Institute, at a symposium held Dec. 1. Public and political attention to the disease also has fallen due to a widespread perception that the spread of AIDS is slowing in the U.S., said Arnold Relman, professor of medicine and social medicine, emeritus. The decline is fueled by an additional belief, he said, "that AIDS in the U.S. largely affects 'them' not 'us,' the 'them' being homosexual males, drug abusers and their sexual contacts." The result is that "the [majority of the] American public no longer feels threatened."

Research Interests: Research efforts focus on slow, latent, and temperate viral infections associated with chronic degenerative neurological diseases. Important areas of study are the etiology and pathogenesis of slow infections (subacute spongiform encephalopathies) and mechanisms of viral persistence in the central nervous system. Also under intensive molecular biological, genetic, and immunological study is amyloid formation in the brain in kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (GSS), fatal familial insomnia (FFI), scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and Alzheimer's disease.

http://www.omnimag.com/archives/interviews/gajdusek.html
Interviewed March 1986 by Bill Moseley
The home of Daniel Carleton Gajdusek is a three-story colonial that was a Civil War Union Army outpost. It sits on a knoll overlooking Frederick, Maryland. Fruit trees, fields, and an Olympic-size swimming pool adorn its hundred-odd acres. Inside, a dozen of Gajdusek's adopted children are playing. Several New Guinea boys cut one another's hair while listening to a Doors tape on their portable stereo. After some children cook dinner, it begins to snow, and the children, who have never before seen snow, bundle up and run outside, forgetting only their shoes. Carleton Gajdusek himself was an unconventional and precocious child. When he was a boy in Yonkers, New York, where he was born in 1923, he stenciled 13 names from Paul De Kruif's chronicle of pioneering bacteriologists, The Microbe Hunters , on the stairs leading to his attic laboratoryillustrious predecessors he would follow in his relentless pursuit of deadly, mind-destroying viruses. Years later Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet, the Australian immunologist and Nobel laureate, described Gajdusek as a near-genius with the emotional maturity of a fifteen-year-old. "He is completely self-centered, thick-skinned, and inconsiderate but equally won't let danger, physical difficulty, or other people's feelings interfere in the least with what he wants to do. He apparently has no interest in women but an almost obsessional interest in children, none whatsoever in clothes or cleanliness; and he can live cheerfully in a slum or grassy hut." Add to that an almost pathological aversion to the press and the fact that he has single-handedly raised 34 children from primitive Micronesian and New Guinean villages, and a rough picture emerges of a man who has taken life to the freak level of intellect and action.

1957: Carleton Gajdusek turned up in remote New Guinea highlands where hundreds of Fore tribe were suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (kuru).." Scott "There they (Japanese) experimented upon the Fore Indian tribe and inoculated them with a minced-up version of the brains of diseased sheep containing the visna virus which causes "mad cow disease" or Creutzfeldt—Jakob disease......About five or six years later, after the Japanese had been driven out, the poor people of the Fore tribe developed what they called kuru, which was their word for "wasting", and they began to shake, lose their appetites and die. The autopsies revealed that their brains had literally turned to mush. They had contracted "mad cow disease" from the Japanese experiments.......In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom in full among the Fore people, Dr Carleton Gajdusek of the US National Institutes of Health headed to New Guinea to determine how the minced-up brains of the visna-infected sheep affected them. He spent a couple of years there, studying the Fore people, and wrote an extensive report. He won the Nobel Prize for "discovering" kuru disease in the Fore tribe."

Lui et moi avons grandi étroitement(de près) ensemble; pour chaque mouvement j'ai fait plus loin dans des mathématiques et les sciences, il s'est déplacé plus loin dans la poésie, la musique et les autres arts. En 1930 nous avons voyagé en Europe pour visiter nos parents, surtout la grande famille de ceux de mon père, qu'il avait abandonnée vingt ans plus tôt. Mon frère et moi avons été laissés (quittés) pendant des mois dans le lieu de naissance de mon père avec son vieux père et la famille restante énorme (le châtelain avait sired environ vingt-cinq enfants), tandis que nos parents des capitaux (capitales) européens visités.
Pendant les étés de mon treizième à de seizièmes années, je travaillais souvent au Boyce Thompson des Laboratoires. Sous la tutelle de docteur John Arthur, j'ai synthétisé et ai caractérisé une grande série de halogenated aryloxyacetic des acides, beaucoup précédemment non synthétisés. La série de nouveaux composés dont je suis provenus ceux a échoué rapporter la puissance de meurtre mouche prévue, mais quand ils ont été évalués plusieurs ans plus tard pour leur capacité phytocidal un de mes nouveaux composés, l'acide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, est devenu le tueur de mauvaise herbe de commerce; et l'Institut basé ses droits exclusifs d'exploitation aux droits d'auteur (royalties) sur mes calepins de laboratoire d'enfant - la seule entreprise que j'ai eue qui a impliqué le commerce.
