Grieving environmental scientists need support

Research by environmental health scientists.

RECENT studies of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have demonstrated that the putatively pure preparations of CEA were not homogeneous. Rule and Goleski-Reilly (1973), by the isoelectric focusing of saline extracts of tumour materials, detected 6 major and 6 minor CEA reactive peaks between pH 2 0 and 9 0. Coligan et al. (1973) demonstrated by isoelectric focusing and ion exchange chromatographic...

Physician-Scientists in Environmental Health

I believe that the physician-scientist represents an endangered species in biomedical research, and is absolutely essential to achieving our vision for the NIEHS. As a physician-scientist, my thoughts on this topic are somewhat biased and reflect my parochial views, as well as the more reasoned concerns raised by others on the fragile future of our species. Despite this admonition, I believe th...

What Cognitive Scientists Need to Know about Virtual Machines

Many people interact with a collection of man-made virtual machines (VMs) every day without reflecting on what that implies about options open to biological evolution, and the implications for relations between mind and body. This tutorial position paper introduces some of the roles different sorts of running VMs (e.g. single function VMs, “platform” VMs) can play in engineering designs, includ...
