Extractions: Gregory J. Morgan I am a seventh year PhD student in philosophy at Johns Hopkins University writing a dissertation in the history and philosophy of science. I was born in Dunedin , New Zealand and raised on a 30,000 acre high country sheep station (ranch) in mountainous Central Otago . Due to our isolation, I was sent to Otago Boys' High School , a boarding school in Dunedin, at the age of 12. After high school, I enrolled at University of Otago gaining a BA in economics , a BS in biochemistry , and a Dip Grad in medical ethics . While at University of Otago I was member of Knox College and was elected President of the Students' Executive . I have recently begun collecting some updates from Knoxies of the period. In my senior year, I was selected to be Otago University's first exchange student at University of California at Berkeley . I resided at International House (IHouse). It was in liberating Berkeley, after reading a book by Rudolf Carnap and taking a class with Prof. Lisa Lloyd , that I decided to pursue a career in the philosophy of science. I returned to New Zealand and began to study philosophy under the mentorship of Prof. Paul Griffiths

Extractions: Michael Sean Gillard The editor of one of Britain's leading medical journals, the Lancet, says he was threatened by a senior member of the Royal Society, the voice of the British science establishment, that his job would be at risk if he published controversial research questioning the safety of genetically modified foods. Richard Horton declined to name the man who telephoned him. But the Guardian has identified him as Peter Lachmann, the former vice-president and biological secretary of the Royal Society and president of the Academy of Medical Sciences. The Guardian has been told that an influential group within the Royal Society has set up what appears to be a "rebuttal unit" to push a pro-biotech line and counter opposing scientists and environmental groups. Dr Horton said he was called at his office in central London on the morning of Wednesday October 13, two days before the Lancet published a research paper by Arpad Pusztai, the scientist at the centre of the GM controversy

We are in the middle of a story which has yet to have an ending written. Chapter 1: Troubles In 1974 the Contemporary Scientific Archives Centre, now the National Cataloguing Unit for the Archives of Contemporary Scientific Archives Centre (NCUACS), made an approach to Sir Aaron Klug, an executor of the estate of Rosalind Franklin, to elicit his support in the preservation and cataloguing of her papers.

The Scientist :: A Nobel Cause sir aaron klug says the EU seems to focus too much on industrial collaborationsbuilt on past findings. They ought to be funding http://www.biomedcentral.com/news/20020621/03
Extractions: European Union leaders gathering for a summit in Seville today and tomorrow no doubt already have a packed agenda. But now they have another contentious issue to mull over. Six Nobel laureates this week penned a joint letter to them criticising the EU's science policy and demanding a doubling of research funds to stem the 'brain drain' to the US. In a stinging attack, the six leading figures said fundamental change is needed if the EU is to achieve its stated goal of creating "the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010." The signatories are 1992 French physics laureate Georges Charpak , 1984 Italian Physics laureate Carlo Rubbia , 1982 British Chemistry laureate Sir Aaron Klug Bengt Samuelsson (1982), Italy's Rita Levi-Montalcini (1986) and Belgian Christian de Duve It's a carefully timed exercise designed to heighten the profile of an issue which many in the European scientific community feel has not had the attention it deserves. "It's pretty clear that we do not invest enough although the UK is worse than some other EU countries by quite a margin," said Peter Cotgreave, director of pressure group Save British Science . "The US spends more and has more attractive places where you can go and do exciting science, all because the system has more resources in it.

Extractions: The UK spent 1.8% of its gross domestic product on research and development in 1997, the most recent year for which figures are available. "This figure means the UK is fifth among the G7 nations and is too low for a country trying to compete globally in a knowledge-driven economy," said Sir Aaron Klug, President of the Royal Society. "The proportion of UK research and development funded by Government fell from 35.4% in 1988 to 30.8% in 1997, and we now lag behind every other G7 country except Japan in this respect." "The [UK] Spending Review settlements [ to be announced 18 July ] should provide government departments with the opportunity to arrest and reverse the damaging drop in expenditure on research and development," said Sir Aaron. "We welcome the major new funding already announced for buildings, laboratories and equipment, but the Government must also invest in people, who are the most important asset and output of the Science Base."

Objectivity Of Science - The Royal Society The Society s former President (19952000), sir aaron klug, joined the ScientificAdvisory Board of GeneProt, which has a commercial relationship with Novartis http://www.skepticalinvestigations.org/objectivity/RoyalSoc.htm
Extractions: The Royal Society gives as its primary objective the promotion of 'excellence in science'. It says it has three roles: as the UK's national academy of science, as a learned Society and as a funding agency. However, Moira Brown, a professor of neurovirology at Glasgow University, sums up the view of a number of critics when she describes it as 'a self-perpetuating elite'. Set up as a product of royal patronage, the Society's funds have traditionally come from the public purse. More recently it has begun to receive substantial funds from transnational biotechnology corporations, such as Rhone Poulenc and Glaxo Wellcome, as well as from corporations in the oil, gas and nuclear industries (see, for example, The Royal Society Annual Review 1998-99, p.26).

Extractions: June 28, 2001 Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMO) today announced that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Gendaq Ltd., a privately held biotechnology company headquartered in London. Under the terms of the agreement, Sangamo will issue 2,125,000 shares of its common stock to acquire all of Gendaq's outstanding shares, and will reserve an additional 125,000 shares to assume all of Gendaq's outstanding options. The transaction, which values Gendaq at approximately $30 million, is expected to be completed next quarter. Once the transaction is finalized, Sangamo will acquire all of the business of Gendaq including a research team comprising 16 scientists, 22 patent applications and 2 issued patents, and in excess of $5 million in cash. "This acquisition reflects our belief that zinc finger DNA-binding protein transcription factors will be the dominant platform for targeted gene regulation, and the addition of Gendaq's considerable scientific and intellectual property assets will be a critical component of our future commercial success," said Edward Lanphier, Sangamo's president and chief executive officer. "The Gendaq acquisition adds further strength to our already substantial patent portfolio and achieves our goal of gaining the participation within Sangamo of the principal academic thought leaders in the ZFP field."
