Extractions: Publication Date: Wednesday Nov 1, 1995 Stanford's Arthur Kornberg writes about the marriage of academia and business in one industry The Golden Helix: Inside Biotech Ventures, by Arthur Kornberg; University Science Books; 287 pp.; $28.50 by Anne Sturmthal Bergman In the 1990s, funds for basic research at universities are being cut, while medicine itself is in a painful transition as a business. At the same time, there has been a confluence of work in biology, chemistry and genetics that has given rise to an entirely new area of business meeting medicine: the biotechnology industry. Many of the biotech pioneers, who have ventured outside academia, are on the Midpeninsula. Three of them from Stanford banded together to create one of the new biotech companies, DNAX, and one of them, Arthur Kornberg, has now written a book that provides an inside look at the young biotech industry. Kornberg, Paul Berg and Charles Yanosky all teach at Stanford, although Kornberg is now an emeritus professor. Both Kornberg and Berg are Nobel prize winners. The vision of the three scientists was to try to create a marriage between the disparate cultures of chemistry and biology as well as academic science and business. Because of developments in science in the 1960s and 1970sthe ability to explore the molecular biology of T cells and cytokines, the possibilities generated by recombinant DNA techniques and the potential application of these techniques to therapeutic interventionsby the early 1980s the time seemed right to take a risk.

Worksheet #7: School Career Relationship 2nd - 5th Grades PURPOSE This is the section where we try to spark the individual's INTEREST . We discuss the reasons for studying and help them establish personal short term goals (to pass a test) and long term goals (to become an engineer). We try to instill in the individuals our value of education. We try to relate it to immediate and specific goals rather than abstract goals. Here is the place where the story about walking 10 miles to school applies. It is at this point that discussion about famous individuals and their subsequent successes resulting from good studying and learning practices, is employed. At this point we also ACTIVATE or "charge up" the youngsters. Whatever it takes to get our students to learn - incentives, rewards, stickers, subliminal measures, hugs, affirmations. Educational research has always supported the concept that no matter what the program is, it's success is guaranteed if the individuals involved are enthusiastic.

Extractions: Cooperative sharing of ideas increases the ability of all to excel. This lesson will introduce the history of science through an overview of the major scientists who have contributed to our understanding of the world around us. The history of science is made up of people whose curiosity and persistence resulted in changing our world forever. Scientists learned from their teachers, evaluated the validity of information, did their own observations and experiments, then developed their own contributions to expand the horizons for us. Society always influenced the acceptance or rejection of new ideas. Students will actively view segments of video to introduce and illustrate a variety of scientists. Students will observe and take notes on how each scientist developed his/her own contribution to scientific knowledge.
