“It became the custom in such cases to give credit solely to the one who actually made the experiment work, even if others may have also conceived the idea. It was the drosophilists’ golden rule. Ideas that were engendered in the group’s informal shoptalk were treated as communal resource and not as personal property.”

The first sentence of Paul Theroux's "The Pillars of Hercules" is still one of my favorites
The electron microscope is a prop, the Publico feature is on the future of PhD programs, a discussion the IGC hosted during the celebration of 30 years of the international program Antonio Coutinho created for the Gulbenkian in 1993.

"Melaku Worede was at the heart of efforts to secure Ethiopia’s heritage of crop diversity — and in ensuring that farmers benefited. From 1979 to 1993, he led one of the premier crop gene banks in the world, the Plant Genetic Resources Center in Addis Ababa (now the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute). It was a time when uniform monocultures of crops such as maize (corn; Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) were being widely planted. Melaku was passionate about saving the diversity of traditional crops before they were lost. The practices that Melaku developed, which he referred to as ‘conservation through use’, are now applied around the world."

'We assessed the role of ORF6 during infection using recombinant viruses carrying a deletion or loss-of-function (LoF) mutation in ORF6. ORF6 plays key roles in interferon antagonism and viral pathogenesis by interfering with nuclear import and specifically the translocation of IRF and STAT transcription factors.'

“Words have temperatures to me,” Ruscha has said, specifying that he likes them toasty but not scalding. “Sometimes I have a dream that if a word gets too hot and too appealing, it will boil apart.”

'Their personalities were fundamentally unalike, in ways that could scratch like sandpaper. The Irish critic George Moore, who hung out with them in Paris, described them thus: “Manet loud, declaratory, and eager for medals and decorations; Degas sharp, deep, more profound, scornfully sarcastic.”
