Attributions, awareness, and dissociation: in memoriam Kenneth S. Bowers, 1937-1996.

Research by Kenneth S. Bowers on posthypnotic suggestion, positive hallucinations, hypnotic analgesia, and posthypnotic amnesia is reviewed, along with his nonhypnotic research on the person-by-situation interaction and on intuition in problem solving. Bowers's intellectual style, serious curiosity, is offered as a model for hypnosis research.

Growth rates of Florida corals from 1937 to 1996 and their response to climate change.

Ocean acidification causes declines in calcification rates of corals because of decreasing aragonite saturation states (Ω(arag)). Recent evidence also indicates that increasing sea surface temperatures may have already reduced growth and calcification rates because of the stenothermic threshold of localized coral populations. Density banding in coral skeletons provides a record of growth over t...

Infective endocarditis 1937-1987.

Eric Davidson (1937–2015)

The complexity of gene regulation and its importance to evolutionary change is now a foundational principle in both development and evolution. But this was not the case in the 1960s when Eric Davidson was one of a small group of scientists who began developing a theoretical framework backed by rigorous experimental work to explore this issue. Davidson and his group made fundamental contribution...

The mammalian kidney, the metanephros, is a mesodermal organ classically regarded as arising from the intermediate mesoderm (IM). Indeed, both the ureteric bud (UB), which gives rise to the ureter and the collecting ducts, and the metanephric mesenchyme (MM), which forms the rest of the kidney, derive from the IM. Based on an understanding of the signalling molecules crucial for IM patterning a...
