The ASM Biology Scholars Program is seeking applicants for their professional development programs in undergraduate science assessment, research in teaching and learning, and transitions.
Register now for AAA's first Regional Meeting in Chicago, IL on February 25, 2012! AAA's Short-term Visiting Scholarship Program is intended to provide travel expenses to undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows or faculty to facilitate visiting a laboratory or participating in a course outside their home institution. The Scholarship consists of up to $1,000, plus registration fee (at early registration rate) and partial travel support to the next appropriate AAA Annual Meeting/ EB. The program will cover up to ten (10) scholarships per year. Deadline to apply is February 1 so apply now! 
January 1, 1941: Sir Martin J. Evans was born in January 1941. Evans applied gene targeting to develop mouse models for human diseases, including cystic fibrosis and to test the effects of gene therapy.
January 1, 1864: George Washington Carver, an African American man born into slavery, was born in January, 1864. He went on to earn a Master's degree, taught agriculture for 40 years, and invented over 450 new commercial products. January 4, 1874: Joseph Erlanger was born on January 4, 1874. His studies on nerve action potentials led to receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1944. January 7, 1941: John Walker, born on January 7, 1941, won a Nobel Prize for elucidation of the enzymatic mechanism underlying the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). January 8, 1902: Carl Rogers was born January 8, 1902. He was one of the founders of the humanistic approach of psychology. January 9, 1922: H.G. Khorana, born on January 9, 1922, won a Nobel Prize for his interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis. January 10, 1916: Sune Bergström was born on January 10, 1916. Bergström’s work on prostaglandins revealed the importance of unsaturated fatty acids in human metabolism. January 10, 1916: Sune Bergström, born on January 10, 1916, won a Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related biologically active substances. January 11, 1924: Roger Guillemin, born on January 11, 1924, won a Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning the peptide hormone production of the brain. January 11, 1842: William James born January 11th, 1842, he wrote the Principles of Psychology. January 13, 1927: Sydney Brenner was born on January 13, 1927. Brenner used the tiny nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans to study cell division, differentiation, organ development – and to follow these processes under the microscope. January 15, 1895: Arturri I. Virtanen was born on January 15, 1895, and won a Nobel Prize for his research and inventions in agricultural and nutrition chemistry, especially for his fodder preservation method. January 21, 1912: Kondrad Bloch, born January 21, 1912, won a Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning the mechanism and regulation of the cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. January 23, 1918: Gertrude Elion was born on January 23, 1918. Along with George Hitdchings, she discovered metabolic differences between normal human cells, cancer cells, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses that led to the development of drugs to treat cancer and other diseases. January 27, 1903: Sir John Eccles was born. Eccles' discoveries showed how shown how excitation and inhibition are expressed by changes of membrane potential in nerve cells. January 28, 1922: Robert W. Holley was born on January 28, 1922. His discovery of alanine transfer RNA and subsequent work on its structure earned him a Nobel prize in 1968. January 28, 1922: Robert Holley, born on January 28, 1922, won a Nobel Prize for his interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis.  |
