International Melanoma Working Group (IMWG)
The International Melanoma Working Group (IMWG) was organized in April 2006. It was based on the premise that this disease required a focused, multi-disciplinary effort, among the world's leading melanoma investigators.
This new group would provide a think tank atmosphere for the world's leading melanoma experts to gather semi-annually, away from large meetings, the purpose of which was to provide for a better understanding of the biology of melanoma and to accelerate the quest for more effective therapies.
This was the beginning of the IMWG.
The IMWG identified the lack of resources for the acquisition of tissues as a major deficit in the field of melanoma, resulting in a lack of information regarding the basis of tumor progression, biological markers, and drug development. It has therefore undertaken several key work projects representing collaboration among the members, designed to strike at what they think are the key leverage points of the melanoma dilemma:
- Formation of a US and worldwide Melanoma Tissue Repository Network to facilitate the sharing of biologic material and the resulting informatics.
- Expansion of the Sentinel Node Procurement and Assessment Protocol to enable an in-depth assessment of the molecular profile and immunomodulation of melanoma.
- Collaboration on the expansion of the Melanoma Molecular Map Project through direct support for continual identification of new melanoma-specific targets and pathways. IMWG wishes to further enlarge this project by seeking research into the complex vulnerabilities and survival mechanisms of melanoma, by collecting findings of target and pathway interactions.
Through these specific research endeavors, IMWG hopes to develop unique new insights that will accelerate the rational combination of promising therapeutic agents. Through scientific talents and tireless drive, IMWG wants to be the catalyst for the beginning of the end of the unforgiving burden on patients, families, and clinicians who battle melanoma every day.
Simply stated, IMWG's mission is "Sharing One Passion – Defeating Melanoma."

Fake reviewers targeting a North Shore restaurant have been banned from a dining website for life for writing glowing feedback allegedly plagiarised from foreign websites.
Administrators of DineOut.co.nz today banned the user accounts of seven reviewers who posted on the website this year about Spanish restaurant Bolero at the Westfield mall in Albany.
It is not clear who wrote the feedback, and restaurant management denied knowing about the reviews or their removal.
The restaurant review site allows customers to write feedback about their dining experience, scoring the restaurant on food, presentation, service, and environment as well as a description of their experience.
However, administrators became suspicious when Bolero suddenly received 10 glowing reviews this year; a number they would usually receive over two years.
Further investigation found much of the feedback was false, and appeared to have been been cut and pasted from review sites in London, Spain and Dubai.
"Lighting was subdued, and the candlelit areas were pleasing to the eyes. We enjoyed impeccable service for the duration of the meal, and the waiters' attention to the younger members of the family was laudable," said one review that gave the restaurant a score of 9.3 out of 10.
"Been there last Saturday afternoon, The restaurant has superb atmosphere. A pianist/singer sang spanish songs was excellent. Perfect songs at a perfect level for this elegant yet easy going restaurant," said another rating it 8.5.
"That's why they looked like real reviews, because they were; they just were not real reviews for Bolero," said DineOut.co.nz administrator Chris Dempsey.
Bolero restaurant co-owner Sam Sikka, who took over the business last month, and former owner Huseyin Yildiz said they were not aware of the reviews or their removal by the website.
"I don't know about that because we just took over. This is the first time I'm coming to know about that," said Mr Sikka.
Banning a user from the site is rare, with only one instance this year and two last year, said Mr Dempsey.
Owner of rival Westfield Albany restaurant Mama Loco said negative reviews allegedly sabotaging his restaurant had also been deleted from the website.
Owner Gareth Hookham said it was "disappointing" if people are writing false reviews because it caused lost confidence in the site, which is a valuable way of getting customer feedback.
A Westfield spokeswoman said they were investigating claims about reviews regarding the two restaurants, but declined to comment further.
Restaurant Association of New Zealand president Mike Egan said the false reviews were disappointing, as restaurant review websites were highly valued by customers when deciding where to dine.
However, he cautioned that feedback about restaurants "should be taken with a grain of salt", and diners should look at the average scores received by a restaurant rather than those that are extreme.
Mr Egan said if a reader saw a review by a person who had done only one review it may not carry much credence, "but if someone has done maybe 100 reviews of 100 different restaurants you might read their review and think that carries a bit more weight."
He said business owners had the right to challenge feedback on websites if reviews were misleading, such as one diner claiming it had been the worst breakfast of their life at an eatery that didn't serve breakfasts.
Instances of sabotaging a competitor's business were very rare, Mr Egan said.

The Surprisngly Naked Films of Helen Hunt
Three film clips of the Academy Award winning woman that makes us sweat.
There's something about this Academy Award–winning woman that makes us sweat. Maybe it's the fact that she seems like the MILF next door we'd like to get to know a little better, or maybe it's because we haven't been able to get her incredibly sexy nude scene from The Waterdance out of our heads since we first saw it in 1992. Whatever it is, Helen Hunt drives us wild.
The Waterdance
First catching the eyes of the nation in the 1990s when she starred in the hit television series Mad about You, which won Helen multiple awards for her role as Jamie Buchman, a newly married woman living in New York City, this gorgeous actress went on to star in some of the biggest films of the '90s and 2000s like Twister, Cast Away, What Women Want and Pay It Forward. Helen has proved that though she studied ballet and attended the theatre several times a week as a child with her father Gordon E. Hunt, a famous film director and acting coach, she was quite capable of playing both dramatic and comedic roles throughout her career.
Pay It Forward
We love that as part of her aging gracefully, she doesn't bat an eye at the thought of shedding her clothes for a role. In her 2007 film Then She Found Me, which she directed herself, she appeared naked, proving that even if you're not a 25-year-old brunette reality TV star, it doesn't mean you're not drop dead gorgeous when you're buck naked. And who can forget the performance that won her an Academy Award for Best Actress in As Good as It Gets? There aren't many women who can say they've shared a kiss with the legendary actor Jack Nicholson. Oh, there are a lot of women who have kissed Jack Nicholson? Never mind.
As Good As It Gets

26 Years and Counting...
Starting Wednesday (1/23), I will be Chuck Ingram's right hand man. He will handle WLW and WEBN, I will handle WKRC and the generic traffic update (recorded, if you couldn't tell) that air on Homer, 94.1, Kiss 107.1. and the Fox, and I'll be doing traffic for WNKR in Kentucky (a country station, I think)....a genre variety for everyone Afternoons 3-6:30 monday - friday.
When Chuck needs off, or has to cover mornings, I'll slide over and take care of WLW and WEBN...
Hopefully it's a step in the right direction...and the start of something bigger.

Is it just me or does he always pronounce Fort Washington Way as Fart Washington Way?
I'll have to listen for that one, he may say it a little differently...
Coming from someone who got a nice little shot at working at WLW and WCKY solely because of Chuck Ingram myself, I can honestly say congrats and you're in good hands, as I'm sure you know.
I'm really kinda jealous. Makes me want to sell my insurance agency and go work overnights
Congratulations Matt. It defenitly looks like you're movin on up.

Sweet....looking good Steve!
Got a little more done tonight -
Made a left inside 'upper' rail (12") and installed it. Tray straddles the INSIDE rails, not the outside ones screwed to the trunnion, since they're too wide for the tray guides
Started fitting the FT
Temporary AK recoil spring to check rail-to-trunnion & rcvr alignment, and then chambering tests. Both of mine took some work before everything would cycle/lock/unlock easily, with the close-tolerance gas tube
It chambered on the first attempt - sure didn't expect that! Got that same light-headed feeling again
No ejector rail made yet - hopefully tomorrow
Camera LCD is broke or it would be more centered
If you're using a standard diameter piston, here is a handy way to de-burr the inside 'step' in your custom gas tube, with a power drill
Gas tube is MUCH tighter seal (mallet fit) than a factory AK tube; had to drill out the back, so the BC snout could slide forward. That creates a smaller diameter 'step' deep inside the tube, and a problem when reassembling. Like threading a needle dozens of times, during the build. You MG47 builders will soon find out what I mean. Smoothing out that step was the key to easy reassembly
PS Got the 'upper' rails temporarily mounted, and ejection port cut out today
Short vid chambering & ejecting
Last edited by cntrailrider; 02-17-2008 at 10:30 PM.
How did you go about locating the ejection port? Any specific dimensions to follow or is it lick fingr and hold to wind?
(I'm marking my steel as I type and my build begins.....)
Finger / wind technique works real well
Position the front exactly where it is on a regular AK, in relation the to RSB & trunnion. Cartridge is 2.2" long. Don't go back any further than that, for starters, until you begin test feeding & ejecting. Then study how/what path the ejector pushes the casing
Had to enlarge the port higher than what's in the pic above - symetrical to the bottom, so they'd exit
Stop me if this is a dumb question, but with the elimination of the standard charging handle, how is it that the weapon is loaded initially?
Ah, I see, thank you.
Came up with an idea to eliminate the short-stroke lost pressure worries. Shorten the BC snout, then use a standard-length piston to keep the gas pressure sealed, for a longer sealed stroke. AZ Honkey suggested a good shortening technique (same as an HK51/51K) removing a section of BC snout, then re-join it, to keep the original piston threads. Need to cut the cocking handle slot, and get the 'cocking plate' made too
Been on the road all week, but home now - progress pics should be along soon
Last edited by cntrailrider; 02-25-2008 at 06:27 AM.
Starting to take shape
Good shot of the rails. 'Bottom' rails are the top edges of the 1.5" tube. Planning a flush buttplate with guide tubes for the recoil springs
The front will get trimmed even. Barrel is 9"/ OAL 22"
Next comes the BC extension, and locating the feed stud
Burned through the hinge pin shroud so you see some patch up. Hinge pin holes get hardened
The gas tube goes through the rear sight block to keep pressure contained for a longer stroke. Same set-up as my 6 inch shorty, but longer (4.5" stroke) to cycle the belt feed mech. AMD65 piston in a bobbed carrier, to keep the tube ID small / sealed. Will get pics of it later
Got alot of welding to do yet - some will be repair work No guarantee this will work, but hoping to be the first on my block with a 7.62x39 beltfed pistol
How are you going to mount your feed cam roller? Is it going to be like you did on your MG47 and does it have to be right on center on a RPD cover? It appears that the the cam does not track quite on the center line of the top cover.

Why men fall asleep after sex, it's not because you hate to cuddle, it's simply biology.
Find yourself taking the express train to Dreamland every time you finish pleasing your lady in the sack? She probably doesn't want to hear this, but scientifically, there is an answer to why you're being such an inconsiderate prick (her words, not ours). According to a study performed by neuroscientist Serge Stoleru, a male's cerebral cortex shuts down after reaching orgasm, and as soon as the much-anticipated sensation has come to a crescendo, two other areas of the brain tell the rest of the brain to stop feeling so horny. Combine the two and you are in a pretty good place to drift off to sleep.
"As frustrating as it is for most women that their male partners just roll over and fall asleep after sex, men aren't entirely to blame," explained Dr. Neil Stanley. "Humans are the only animals in which sleep and sex are linked, and while often seen as just a poor excuse, there are scientific reasons why men feel tired after sex."
We're not saying you should use this as an excuse to roll over immediately after the deed is done, but maybe use this knowledge to your advantage and cuddle up to your spouse so you can adorably fall asleep in her arms.


text: wadehump - thank you. My four hives are built on deeps with small cell. (except for 4 regular size frames in two hives that came with two nucs) Above that I run medium supers and they are a mixture of small cell and foundationless. This year was an experiment with the foundationless and I feel its been a great success so want to continue to move in that direction. My dilemma is how to change out the foundation in the deep supers for foundationless frames. Any ideas on how to do that?

On our 75th anniversary, we collected 75 reasons. Now we've added 25 more
The Editors
For American Scientist's 75th anniversary in 1986, we asked 75 eminent scientists and engineers their reasons for entering their fields. As part of our centennial celebrations this year, we've asked 25 additional scientists and engineers to chime in about their inspirations, to bring our count up to 100 reasons. The first 75 reasons can be found in the original 1986 article, "75 Reasons to Become a Scientist." Biographies of the responders in this article can be found by clicking on their names below the entries.
What's inside the black box? That question captured my imagination on the first day of 10th grade in a Virginia public school, sparking an interest in scientific exploration that has never let me go. But I must confess it was an opportunity that I very nearly missed. When chemistry teacher John House gave each of us a black box containing an unidentified object and asked us to devise ways to investigate what the object was, my initial reaction was: "What a silly waste of time!"
But then I began to think about it. I knew something was different here. This was a radical departure from the science I'd previously encountered, a dry and lifeless world in which teachers poured facts into my head and I spit them back. This was the first time that someone had invited me to come up with the ideas—to design experiments myself. Rather intimidating. Rather exhilarating! I got caught up in the challenge of figuring out ways to determine what was inside the black box. (It turned out to be a candle.) After that first experiment, I knew there would be many, many more.

I became a chemist, as did all of the other three girls in my 1963 freshman chemistry class at Reed College, because of the inspiration of Jane Shell, our brilliant 23-year-old professor. Jane thought chemistry was the most exciting subject on the planet and so did we.
I'm so happy I studied chemistry and learned of the order and beauty of molecules. Chemistry gave me a logical way of thinking about and understanding the material world. I took a long break in my scientific career to climb mountains and raise my daughter. Now I am very grateful to have been able to return to science policy work and use my chemistry training to help bring good research to decision makers, in order to protect our health and environment from hundreds of millions of pounds of toxic chemicals in consumer products.
For me, science is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, it stays with you for the rest of your life.

As a kid, I was never interested in rocks, minerals or fossils. I mistakenly thought that geology was merely the study of rocks, and so it never caught my attention. In my first year in university, I had to pick four science subjects out of six. Geology had its lab periods in the mornings, and I chose to do it so that I could devote more afternoons to my real passion—horse racing! But I had a brilliant first-year professor who taught me that geology is really the study of the evolution of the Earth, its atmosphere, oceans, life as well as the solid earth. This professor delivered spell-binding lectures demonstrating that most of that evolution is recorded in the rocks and minerals, and that our task is to decode that history. After one field trip, we all repaired to a local hostel where the professor demonstrated how continents float using a pint of Guinness. I was hooked! Over the years, I realized that deducing the Earth's history is like solving a sudoku puzzle. Because we live on a dynamic planet, much of the evidence of the Earth's evolution has been obliterated by the ravages of time, like the blank squares in a sudoku puzzle. But by careful investigation of what is preserved, we can fill in those blanks and come to a comprehensive understanding. As an added bonus, we get to travel to see some of the Earth's great natural treasures. I write this on Kentucky Derby day. My passion for horse racing is as strong as ever—and is directly responsible for my career path!

My way to science was determined by my great, life-long love for dogs. When I was growing up, my dog always participated in my childhood sports and I was happy that dogs existed on Earth. I often wondered about dogs' behavior: Why is my dog so intelligent, understanding what I say to him? Why is he so obedient and devoted? By the time I graduated from secondary school, I wanted to learn more about relationships between dogs and people, and I knew that I would investigate dog behavior. I entered the Department of Higher Nerve Function in the Faculty of Biology at Moscow State University. During my last term there, I learned that the geneticist Dmitry Belyaev had launched a project on fox domestication. The ultimate goal of that research was to make wild foxes as domestic as dogs. When I met Belyaev I realized that my scientific fate was sealed.

Mr. and Mrs. McKey inspired me to become a scientist. They were my next-door neighbors when I was growing up. He taught high school biology and she taught English and foreign languages. The McKeys had no children of their own, and they were like second parents to me. He tutored me in biology and she in Latin. They encouraged me to read serious literature, to think critically and to work hard so that I could pay for college. Together Mr. and Mrs. McKey taught me that science helps answer the big questions, but the big questions originate in the humanities.
Among the books they recommended I read, and the one that was most influential in my becoming an archaeologist, was F. Clark Howell's book, Human Evolution. It showed scientists studying the past, not just by reading about it, but also by excavating fossils, by experimenting with stone tools and by studying hunter-gatherers. I thought this was the perfect profession, one in which people worked with their hands and their minds. That they did so by traveling to exotic places was all the better. I grew up in a small town, and as I grew older, distant horizons beckoned. Whenever I return there, I bring back a little piece of stone collected in the course of my travels to leave at the McKeys' grave.

I am both a biologist and a poet. When asked what these two fields have in common, I usually say that each requires patience. More fundamentally, biology and poetry are both about the mystery of being alive. But whereas biology wants to solve the mystery, poetry simply says, "Behold."
Lately, I've become interested in geomicrobiology, which seeks to understand the ubiquitous communities of microbes that live in the dark heart of the planet, miles below our feet. What energy sources feed them? What are their methods for transferring electrons? How do they cope with high temperatures, extreme pH, radioactivity?
More urgently, what role might deep-life organisms play in carbon cycling and therefore climate stability? And what are the consequences to subsurface ecosystems when we blow up bedrock and pump it full of water and biocides in order to extract oil and natural gas, as during the practice of hydraulic fracturing (so-called fracking)?
These are mysteries that need resolution. At the same time, scientific knowledge about the deep biosphere requires poets to recalibrate our images of the underworld.
A subterranean world exists below our feet. Eurydice lives.

When I was 14 years old, my parents bought me a used telescope, with a rickety tripod and a mirror only 10 centimeters across. I pointed it at Saturn, and was stunned to see its rings clearly. Coming back the next night, I noticed Saturn had moved relative to the background stars, except for one fairly bright "star" which hugged close to Saturn. Over many nights, that bright "star" moved around Saturn, until after 16 nights it came back to its starting point. Seeing with my own eyes the moon Titan orbit around that Saturnian jewelry every 16 days, celestial clockwork with gears of gravity, left me speechless. I wondered what other astronomical objects of art were out there. I also wondered if the laws of nature on Earth explained them all. When I realized that the Solar System was a speck of dust on the scale of the Milky Way Galaxy, and that the Milky Way was a speck of dust in the universe, I was utterly hooked. Then, seeing with my naked eye the Andromeda Galaxy with its 200 billion stars located over a million light years away, I was mesmerized by the beauty and sheer size of the cosmos. I knew that I wanted to learn everything I could about our universe.

Working as a doctor, the exposure to illness and death can be overwhelming. Through science, we can search for knowledge that would improve our understanding of health and disease and help us develop sustainable solutions. Working in sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited blood disorder, I am filled with a sense of shame that it is over 100 years since its first description and yet there is only one drug available for treatment. As an African, I am ashamed that looking at the history of scientific discoveries in SCD, there has been minimum contribution from Africa and yet the highest burden of disease is in Africa. Research in SCD, a genetic disease, will change the perception that science in Africa is limited to infections like malaria and HIV. By achieving success in SCD, we can demonstrate how scientific knowledge can be translated into health benefits relevant to the local communities while at the same time generating scientific knowledge that would be of global significance. The exposure to illness and death still overwhelms me, but I continue to work in both medicine and science, as a reminder of how much we need to do and how much we do not know.

Although at the time I had no idea what the term meant, I am pretty sure I became a scientist while spending innumerous afternoons in my grandmother's backyard back in the mid-1960s. During those unforgettable years, I first realized that there were millions of small and big secrets in nature that no formal school would ever reveal for me. Instead, if I wanted to learn something about them, I had to get in there, into the depths of that mystery-ridden backyard, and simply figure it out for myself. It was on those afternoons, lost in exploration and contemplation of that tropical universe, that I learned how much I enjoyed being curious about all the living things that surrounded me. In that refuge, guided by my grandmother, I discovered the joy of probing the unknown on voyages that only our imagination can plan and track. It was then that I realized that by adding a bit of creativity and persistent work to the mix, the impossible could, sometimes, become possible.

It started with recycling—the idea that you could take an old bottle or can and turn it into a new one sparked an early realization that the materials and structures we create have a life cycle, just like a biological system.
My inclination toward science and discovery was fueled by elementary and secondary school teachers, who emphasized science. Nearly 40 years later, I still remember many of the projects I did in the classroom. My favorite involved building my own small ecosystem over the course of the year—starting with growing grass, then introducing crickets, then small frogs. My scientific path was confirmed in high school by an amazing physics teacher, who introduced me to the beauty of the quantitative aspects of science.
The exposure to many scientific disciplines at an early age combined with the awareness that science can be purposeful and bring solutions to everyday problems germinated an academic career focused on developing bio-inspired materials.

As a young boy, and even as a young man, I could not imagine my future. Many things interested me, like writing, acting, math and history. I wanted one day to do it all. I could not conceive of a career void of passion. But what that career would be I had no idea. Becoming a scientist happened over years of indecisiveness: first my undergraduate education, then my graduate work and finally my postgraduate work. By now, convinced I had left all doors open in my educational wanderings, I realized I had become a scientist, and I loved it. I was free to discover the future and finally knew where to start.

Becoming a scientist unlocks possibilities: We can discover truth in our world and share our knowledge. I like to use what I've learned to build things that teach others how to build things too. I think one of the best things about being a scientist is that your work can help others and be built upon in a never-ending process.

I became a scientist because one summer day, back when I was 17, I found a swarm of honey bees hanging from a tree branch and brought them home in a simple hive. Watching these insects closely each evening after work, I soon found myself mesmerized by the intricate behaviors of the individual bees and by the peace of their community. That thousands of insects could live together so closely and harmoniously, and could build delicate combs filled with delicious honey, was an almost miraculous wonder that left a deep impression. This experience, more than any other, set me off on my life's work of exploring the inner workings of honey bee colonies. My goal has been to understand how the tiny-brained bees in a hive, much like the cells in a body, can work together to create a functional unit whose abilities far transcend those of its constituents. Solving mysteries about the wonderland of the honey bees' society has been immensely satisfying. Nothing is more rewarding than being the first curious human being to find the solution to some puzzle about the natural world.

When I was little, I was fascinated by natural phenomena to an extent that probably worried my parents (in fact, I know it did)! I played with water and light, dirt and bugs, for hours, and eagerly took apart almost every machine and device. As I grew older I decided to major in music in college, mostly because in high school it was made clear to me that girls were not welcome in advanced science and mathematics classes. Luckily it took less than two years for me to realize that the natural world was far more interesting to me. Although I was older than my classmates and had to work my way through college (showing up for calculus classes in my waitress uniform from time to time) it was the right path for me, because science is exciting! Regardless of how well we understand a phenomenon, we are always encountering surprising and unexpected aspects that we, and often nobody, had thought of. It was not until well into my faculty career that I encountered the impact of working on problems that truly affect individuals and society, the fundamental motivating force of engineering. This shaped me irreversibly, and although I work largely on scientific problems, the goal of helping others through my research discoveries has become a critically important aspect of what I do.

I went to Cornell on a scholarship and enrolled in engineering physics because the professor in charge of that program contacted me. During my five years (the length of Cornell's engineering programs), I had many inspiring teachers. I took four courses from the mathematician Mark Kac. His enthusiasm while presenting math was infectious. Only many years later did I learn that he was a highly respected mathematician. Dale Corson was my professor for electricity and magnetism, and later the advisor for my senior project. He was a disciplined teacher who made subject matter crystal clear. I met Ira Bernstein when I took a short summer course at UCLA on plasma physics. I was in the air force, studying the phenomena associated with high-altitude nuclear weapon bursts and the short course looked to be useful. Bernstein demonstrated the qualities I admired in Kac and Corson: clarity of presentation, humor and mathematical brilliance. I had joined the air force to fulfill an ROTC commitment and concluded I needed more knowledge. I decided to get a doctorate in physics and applied to Princeton so I could work under Bernstein. I later met Lew Allen, a Ph.D. physicist, when I was assigned to the physics division of the Air Force Special Weapons Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lew was the chief scientist, and a principal reason that I stayed in the air force for 11 years. He was an excellent physicist but an even better human being. His honesty and integrity set standards that I have tried to emulate.

I gravitated toward the sciences in grammar and high school because of a natural curiosity I had about the physical workings of the world, the nature of the cosmos, and the meaning and significance of my own life. And it became more and more clear to me, the more exposure I had to science, that it was the only intellectual endeavor that had any chance of answering my questions. I was struck by the simple beauty of the fact that, in the end, nature is the final arbiter, not some self-designated human authority. And I was right to make the choice I made. It has been a very fulfilling life, and allowed me to feel a deep connection to all that surrounds me. And isn't that, in the end, what we all seek?

I grew up in a family governed by businessmen. Education was highly valued, but the opinions of women were not. It was at Skidmore College that I began to appreciate that science, as a "way of knowing," carried some clout. I remember distinctly when it dawned on me that if you had knowledge derived from the scientific method, people would have to take it seriously. I was hooked. For my senior thesis I measured the manganese budget of a small lake. It didn't matter to me that very few people would care about this topic (the paper has been cited six times since 1975!). What mattered was that I could tell a story that those people would believe—because I had evidence.
I feel very lucky to have stumbled onto my career path. It is such a privilege to be paid to discover new things about nature, while being surrounded by talented youth. It's no wonder scientists are reluctant to retire!

As a kid, machines fascinated me. Almost every week I visited a museum in Glasgow, Scotland, studying trains, engines, model ships and all sorts of machines. When I was around 10 years old I got a chemistry set and I became obsessed with test tube reactions, the smoke, the smells and later I even made gunpowder. After doing my Ph.D. in chemistry I ended up at IBM Zurich Research in 1983 and started to work with the newly invented scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The STM is a mechanical device and I started to look at molecules with it. Eventually I started to manipulate molecules with the tip of the STM and made an abacus using buckminsterfullerene. Somehow I was working with machines again, now at the nanoscale. Well now the STM is 30 years old and my latest project is to build a synthetic brain. It's the most daring project I can think of and in the process I started to become interested in the brain. As I watch my own brain function I realize how nonmachinelike and how approximate it is. As physical scientists get older it seems understanding biological systems gets more exciting.

My parents were passionate about learning. My father, a World War II hero and postal worker, made me comfortable with all things mechanical. My mother, a social worker, inspired me to love reading. Inexplicably, they did not object when I began experimenting with bees, carefully recording my observations of the live specimens I kept under the back porch. It is there, in the backyard, at the age of eight that my career as a research scientist began.
As a physicist, researcher, teacher, policymaker and university president, I have learned the transformative power of science and technology. My passion for science is rooted in the theories, experiments and analytical rigor that provide a deeper understanding of nature, and an opportunity to address the myriad challenges our world faces. I have experienced the difference one can make through "the application of science to the common purposes of life" (Rensselaer's founding mission).

All people are born scientists. Just watch a one-year-old child. Pure, unabashed, unbridled curiosity drives each waking hour's exploration of their worlds. Toddlers are just trying to figure out how things work as they poke and point—touch and taste—everything they can. And most children keep at it, combining the critical and creative elements fundamental to good science. As an adult, I never wanted to stop being curious, and ended up focusing that curiosity on the deep past of our human species. So I'm still asking questions, still working on mysteries, and still loving every minute of it.
Tim White
Professor of Integrative Biology
I have always been interested in how things work, and this is the essence of science. Science is about building models of the world that have explanatory and predictive power. Through this process, it is possible to build a useful framework for understanding the world around us.
My particular interest is in plant developmental biology. I would like to know how a fertilized egg becomes an oak tree, and how the tree's final form is shaped by interactions between its genes and the environment in which it is growing. The process is partly driven by a beautiful, intricate, dynamic network of chemical messengers, through which the different parts of a plant communicate. The network was not engineered and built from the outside, like a car. It has arisen from the inside over millions of years of evolution and reassembles itself every generation. I find it an irresistible challenge to try to figure out how it works.
There are many more pragmatic reasons for chasing this kind of understanding, for example, delivering a safe, secure, sustainable food supply. But for me it is the human desire to explore and understand the world that drives science—the very same thing that drives people up Mt. Everest and to the North Pole. Science just happens to be much more useful.

When the Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957, my fate was sealed to become an engineer. By 1980, I had three degrees in engineering, was registered as a professional engineer, had worked as an engineer for five years, and had taught engineering for 10. Yet, when faculty colleagues in the arts and sciences asked me what exactly engineering was and why there were so many engineering failures, I could not provide a concise answer—even to myself. It was this situation that led me to write an explanatory book with the working title "What Is Engineering?" In the course of writing that book I discovered that at its heart engineering is about the obviation of failure. The book, published in 1985 under the title To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design, launched my career of writing about the engineering profession, bridges, failure and design. I have returned to these topics in my latest book, To Forgive Design: Understanding Failure, which contains a chapter describing my formative experiences in graduate school. Now, four decades later, I continue to learn a bit more about engineering with each new column that I write for American Scientist, and I also learn a lot from what readers write in response to my columns. Among the most enjoyable things about being an engineer is that learning never ends.

Science was not something girls did when I was growing up, and I had no expectations of career other than a teacher, nurse or secretary. But my dad was a true scholar who ignited my curiosity by reading and discussing with me everything from politics and religion to science. From him I learned to think critically and question everything. My brother taught me to read before he left for college when I was five, and fed my curiosity by sending books home from school. From him I learned to love dinosaurs and biology. But no one really "did" dinosaurs for a career, and I chose other directions until I returned to college when my children were small. My first class with noted paleontologist Jack Horner reignited my love for dinosaurs. But my kids set the direction of my unusual approach to paleontology: Because I didn't have the option of doing frequent field research, I took my love of biology and dinosaurs into the lab. I can relate just about any biological question (human health, global warming…) to dinosaurs, and firmly believe that their biology has much to say about our own, and about the world we inherited from them. Capitalizing on public fascination with dinosaurs is also a powerful tool to offset increasing scientific illiteracy in the United States. All roads really do lead to dinosaurs!

In college, I began as a philosophy major. No one in my family was a scientist, I didn't know any scientists and it never occurred to me that I might be a scientist. But at the small liberal arts college I attended (Reed College), I was required to take, among other things, an introductory biology course. I remember sitting through some of the lectures in that class in a state of astonishment at the biological world the professors described, a world I had only a limited awareness of at that point. One day Bert Brehm, then professor of biology at Reed, taught us about coevolution, using the evolution of the fig and the fig wasp as an example. I believe my mouth literally dropped open during that lecture. I had not previously understood how powerful science was, or how satisfying scientific explanations could be. This sense of satisfaction about a logically coherent explanation for a mysterious natural phenomenon is nicely summed up by the journalist Harriet Martineau, who wrote in 1859, upon the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species, "One might say 'thank you' all one's life without giving any idea of one's sense of obligation." That's how I felt that day in the fig wasp lecture, and that's why I became a scientist.
