NEW MODEL, NEW FINDINGS After a three-year stint at the Pierre Chambon Institute in Strasbourg, Fisher and Matthias Merkenschlager, her partner in the lab and in life, were offered an opportunity to set up shop at the fledgling MRC Clinical Sciences Center (CSC). The two set up a sequencing lab at the Institute for Contemporary Art in London, where visitors could speak with researchers- recruits from Fisher's real lab- who were demonstrating how to sequence a gene thought to be involved in language impairment.

It was the rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust - "lights in an overall darkness" - whose actions were discussed by scholar, author and retired professor Dr. Patrick Henry.
Henry, whose most recent book is We Only Know Men: The Rescue of Jews in France During the Holocaust, began his presentation with a screening of the 1990 documentary, "Weapons of the Spirit", the story of Le Chambón, a small farming town in southern France that sheltered some 5,000 Jews. The filmmaker, Pierre Sauvage, was born in the town.
Broadening the story of the residents of Le Chambón to the rescuers in general, Henry posits that while there were many factors at play that contributed to their altruistic behavior, the overriding one was that of common humanity.

Now a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at the New York University School of Medicine, Reinberg made a name for himself in the field of transcription by isolating the "factors that get together to form the monstrous apparatus that transcribes protein-coding genes," says Rick Young of the Whitehead Institute. Instead, Reinberg was able to focus his attention on reconstituting transcription in vitro, using all the factors that bring eukaryotic RNA polymerase to the promoter-a problem that occupied him well into the 1990s, by which time Reinberg was well established as an independent investigator at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Piscataway, where he set up his lab in 1986.\n "He really knows how to focus, so if he picks up a hint of something...
