Marine Biological Laboratory
Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is a famous scientific institution located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts Woods Hole is a village within the town of Falmouth in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, at the extreme southwest corner of Cape Cod, near the island of Martha's Vineyard, and is the site of two famous scientific institutions: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Marine Biological Laboratory. It is also the site of a Coast Guard station and the terminus of a ferry route between the cape and Martha's Vineyard. As of the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 925.

(It is not connected with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is devoted to scientific research and science- and engineering-education leading to MS and PhD degrees in oceanography and related fields. It is located in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts. It grants degrees jointly with MIT. It is separate from the Marine Biological Laboratory, which is also in Woods Hole. In the early-to-mid 1980s, WHOI's Dr. Robert Ballard, and WHOI itself, received much publicity because of his (ultimately successful) search for the remains of the Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley
English physiologist, cowinner (with Sir Alan Hodgkin and Sir John Carew Eccles) of the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. His researches centred on nerve and muscle fibres and dealt particularly with the chemical phenomena involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. He received a knighthood in 1974.
Andrew Fielding, a grandson of the biologist T.H. Huxley and son of the biographer and man of letters Leonard Huxley, received his M.A. from Trinity College, Cambridge, where later, from 1941 to 1960, he was a fellow and then director of studies, a demonstrator, an assistant director of research, and finally a reader in experimental biophysics in the Department of Physiology. In 1960 he went to University College, London, first as Jodrell professor and then, from 1969, as Royal Society research professor, in the Department of Physiology. Huxley and Hodgkin's researches were concerned largely with studying the exchange of sodium and potassium ions that causes a brief reversal in a nerve cell's electrical polarization; this phenomenon, known as an action potential, results in the transmission of an impulse along a nerve fibre. Apart from the researches directly mentioned in the Nobel citation, Huxley made contributions of fundamental importance to knowledge of the process of contraction by a muscle fibre. He published many important papers in periodicals, particularly in the Journal of Physiology. His Sherrington Lectures were published as Reflections on Muscle (1980).

Andrew Huxley

Wikipedia
Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley OM (born 22 November Hampstead London England ... UK ) is a British physiologist and biophysicist , who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work with Alan Lloyd Hodgkin on the basis of nerve "action potentials," the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system . Hodgkin and Huxley shared the prize that year with John Carew Eccles , who was cited for research on synapses. Hodgkin and Huxley's findings led the pair to hypothesize ion channels , which were confirmed only decades later. The experimental measurements on which the pair based their action potential theory represent one of the earliest applications of a technique of electrophysiology known as the "voltage clamp". The second critical element of their research was the so-called giant axon of Atlantic squid ( Loligo pealei ), which enabled them to record ionic currents as they would not have been able to do in almost any other neuron , such cells being too small to study by the techniques of the time. The experiments took place at the University of Cambridge beginning in the and continuing into the , after interuption by World War II . The pair published their theory in Huxley was a son of the writer and editor Leonard Huxley by his second wife Rosalind Bruce, and hence a grandson of the

Andrew Fielding Huxley
Andrew was educated at University College School (1925-1930) and Westminster School (1930-1935, King's Scholar); and went up to Trinity College , Cambridge in 1935 with a major entrance scholarship. He had turned over to science from classics in 1932, and went to Cambridge expecting that his career would be in the physical sciences: he has always been mechanically minded, and he was inspired at Westminster by the physics teaching of the late J. F. Rudwick. He naturally took physics, chemistry and mathematics in his Part I at Cambridge, but the rules required him to take another science and he picked physiology, largely on the recommendation of an old friend, B. Delisle Burns, now of the Physiology Department, McGill University . Huxley found physiology interesting, partly for its subject matter and partly through contact with Adrian , Roughton, Rushton, Hodgkin and the late G. A. Millikan (all Fellows of Trinity) and others in the department, and he decided to specialise in it. He spent 1937-1938 doing anatomy with the intention of qualifying in medicine, and 1938-1939 doing the Part II course in physiology. In August 1939 Huxley joined Hodgkin at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Plymouth for his first introduction to research, and they succeeded in recording electrically from the inside of the squid giant axon.

Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley
Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley was born in Hampstead, England in 1917. The English physiologist was the co-winner (with Sir Alan Hodgkin and Sir John Carew Eccles ) of the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. His research centered on nerve and muscle fibres. He received a knighthood in 1974. Huxley and Hodgkin's researches were concerned largely with the physicochemical analysis of the fundamental phenomena involved in the excitation in a peripheral nerve fibre and in conduction of excitation along it. Apart from the researches directly mentioned in the Nobel citation, Huxley made contributions of fundamental importance to knowledge of the process of contraction by a muscle fibre. He published many important papers in periodicals, particularly in the Journal of Physiology. His Sherrington Lectures were published as Reflections on Muscle (1980).

    Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley OM The Order of Merit (OM) is a British honorary institution. It was established in 1902 by King Edward VII as a reward for distinguished service in the armed forces, science, art, literature, or for the promotion of culture. The order is limited to twenty-four members, but additional foreigners may be added as "honourary members". The order is open to women; Florence Nightingale was the first of them, being appointed in 1907. Members are entitled to the post-nominal "OM". The badge has the appearance of a red Maltese Cross surmounted by a golden crown.
