"The Role of Science and Technology in the Quest for a World at Peace" by
Prof. Jerome Karle

 Prof. Jerome Karle is a Nobel Laureate for Chemistry, the former
Chairman of the Chemistry Section of the United States National Academy
of Sciences and a former Professional Lecturer at the University College
of the University of Maryland.

 Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1918 he attended New York City schools
and graduated from the City College of New York in 1937, the first
recipient of the Caduceus Award for Excellence in Natural Sciences. He
obtained an M.A. degree in Biology in 1938 at Harvard University and
attended the University of Michigan, receiving M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
Physical Chemistry in 1942 and 1944, respectively.

 Prof. Karle's research has been concerned with diffraction theory and
its application to the determination of atomic arrangements in various
states of aggregation. His work in crystal structure analysis was
recognized by the 1985 Nobel Prized for Chemistry. Jerome Karle is a
Fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the American
Philosophical Society and a former President of the International Union
of Crystallography. One of Prof. Karle's concerns has been the future of
this planet and the need to protect its resources and its population in
a caring way.

Best regards,
Patcharee

Subject: NOBEL Laureates' and Eminent Persons' Lectures from Thailand


> Dear Folks,
>
> Asian Institute of Technology(AIT) will broadcast "Bridges - Dialogues
> Towards a Culture of Peace: NOBEL Laureates' and Eminent Persons'
Lectures"
> from Thailand.  A series of lectures will be held starting from November
> 2003 to April 2004 and AIT will provide the streaming service, both
> Multicast and Unicast. The schedule and details of the broadcasted
lectures
> can be found at http://www.dec.ait.ac.th/nobel/.

>
> The first lecture, "Health as an Imperative to Peace and Peace as an
> Imperative to Health" by Prof. Joshua Lederberg., will be held on Nov 19th
> at 14:00 (GMT +7).
>
> Prof. Joshua Lederberg is an American geneticist and pioneer in the field
of
> bacterial genetics who shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine (with George W.
> Beadle and Edward L. Tatum) for discovering the mechanisms of gentic
> recombination in bacteria.  He studied under Tatum in Yale and taught at
the
> University of Wisconsin where he established the Department of Medical
> Genetics.  In 1959 he joined the Faculty of Stanford Medical School
serving
> as Director of the Kennedy Laboratories of Molecular Medicine from 1962 to
> 1978, when he moved to New York City to become President of the
Rockefeller
> University. He held that post until 1990. Prof. Lederberg's discoveries
> greatly increased the utility of bacteria as a tool in genetics research.
> His discovery of transduction provided the first hint that genes could be
> inserted into cells. The realization that the genetic material of living
> things could be directly manipulated bore fruit in the field of genetic
> engineering, or recombinant DNA technology.
