News Nobel Laureate talks DNA at UM By Vivek Kalra Published: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 "I'm here to celebrate DNA," said Moses Kim while waiting in line to enter the Cox Science Center. Students, staff, faculty and the general public poured into Cox on Wednesday night to attend the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Discovery of the Double Helix Structure of DNA. The lecture, given by Sir Aaron Klug, 1982 Nobel Laureate, was sponsored by many organizations including UM, Virgin Atlantic Airlines and the British Consulate. Many were surprised by the high turnout. "The students at UM showed even more enthusiasm about the event that I expected," Simon Davey, of the British Consulate, said. Every seat in the auditorium was taken; students even stood in the back to listen. Dr. Luis Glaser, UM executive VP and provost, declared the lecture to be an extraordinary event. Klug delved into the history of the discovery of the double helix preceding the culmination of the landmark paper by Watson and Crick in 1953. In addition to describing the basic structure of DNA and the methods used to discover it, he offered personal information from his firsthand experiences that no textbook could. He described the competition, pressure and nervousness felt by all of the scientists in the race to decipher the secret of life.

Parliamentary Publications and Archives Site Map Bills Hansard Directories Frequently Asked Questions Judicial Work Select Committee on Science and Technology Third Report CHAPTER 4: COMMUNICATING UNCERTAINTY AND RISK 4.1 In common parlance, "scientific" is almost synonymous with "certain". This perception, which is probably picked up at school, is virtually true of much old and well-established scientific knowledge. In many of the areas of current concern, from climate change to cancer, it is however very wide of the mark. As the RCEP put it, "Science is not a matter of certainties but of hypotheses and experiments. It advances by examining alternative explanations for phenomena, and by abandoning superseded views. Such incompleteness is inherent in the nature of science, especially environmental science, which deals with 'the world outside the laboratory'" (RCEP p 442). 4.2 When science and society cross swords, it is often over the question of risk. Risk, as is widely understood, has at least two dimensions: the chance of something happening, and the seriousness of the consequences if it does. It is often the case with new phenomena or theories that scientists are uncertain about both these things, and also uncertain about the chains of cause and effect supposedly at work. In this situation, any assurances which science may give must necessarily be hedged about with qualifications ("It appears to be safe, on the following assumptions which require further research"). Yet the public, or the media purporting to speak for the public, may demand unqualified assurances ("Is it 100 per cent safe?"), and may even perceive and present the response as being an unqualified assurance when it was not. By this means, the stage is set for confusion, cynicism and even panic.

85. Aaron Klug - Autobiography aaron klug – Autobiography. I was born in 1926 to Lazar and Bella(née Silin) klug in Zelvas, Lithuania, but remember nothing http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/1982/klug-autobio.html

Durban was then a relatively sleepy town in subtropical surroundings. It was a fine place for a boy - there was the beach and the bush and school was not too taxing. I went to a good school, Durban High School, which was run on traditional English lines, with a curriculum somewhat adapted to South African circumstances. We had some good masters particularly in History and English. However, by the standards of to-day, there were few challenges other than Advanced Latin Prose Composition in the 6th Form. The philosophy of the school was quite simple - the bright boys specialised in Latin, the not so bright in science and the rest managed with geography or the like. There was a good library but it was the playing fields that kept one out of mischief. I did not feel a particularly strong call to any one subject, but read voraciously and widely and began to find science interesting. It was the book called Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif, well known in its time, which influenced me to begin medicine at university as a way into microbiology. At the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, I took the pre-medical course and, in my second year, I took, among other subjects, biochemistry, or physiological chemistry as it was then called, which stood me in good stead in later years when I came to face biological material. However, I felt the lack of a deeper foundation, and moved to chemistry and this in turn led me to physics and mathematics. So finally I took a science degree.

Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Monday, March 18, 2002 in the lndependent/UK Geneticists Protest at DNA of Rice Becoming a Trade Secret by Steve Connor The scientists, who include British Nobel laureates Sir Paul Nurse and Sir Aaron Klug, are up in arms against a plan to lock away the entire rice sequence on a company database rather than having it published in the open scientific literature. They have written to the editorial board of Science to complain of an alleged deal between the journal and a Swiss-based agrochemicals company, Syngenta, which wants to store the rice genome on its commercial database. "If this is so, then it represents a very serious threat to genomics research," they write. Syngenta announced last year that it had completed a draft map of the rice genome and now wanted to publish the finished map in Science and so claim the scientific priority that comes with publication in a prestige journal. However, Science The letter to Science is signed by some of the most prominent specialists in the field of genetics, such as Bob Waterston of Washington University in St Louis; David Botstein of Stanford University in California; Michael Ashburner of Cambridge University, and Sir John Sulston of the Sanger Center in Cambridge. They say that a similar deal last year, which allowed the biotechnology company Celera to store its sequence of the human genome on its private database rather than having it published in a publicly-available biotechnology database called "GenBank", was highly damaging to the open tradition of science.
