    Publication Date: 2013-09-11
    Description: In a classic psychological experiment performed in the late 1960s, animals in one group could stop administered shocks by pressing a lever, whereas those in another group could not stop the shocks despite pressing the lever. Later, when the powerless animals were eventually presented with a working lever, they didn’t...

    Publication Date: 2013-06-12
    Description: The factors underlying obesity are multifaceted, but recent research suggests that the brain’s melanocortin circuits, which play a key role in controlling the balance between energy consumption and use, lie at the heart of obesity. According to Roger D. Cone, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2010 and...

    QnAs with Leroy E. Hood [QnAs] (2011)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-06-08
    Description: Molecular biologist Leroy Hood says a transformation in medicine is gingerly afoot. The change, which he calls P4 medicine (predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory), could turn today’s reactive approach to medicine into a proactive one in the future. Hood, president of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, Washington, is no stranger to scientific revolutions. In the 1980s Hood helped invent automated DNA and protein synthesizers and sequencers, which made the Human Genome Project possible. Those technological feats snagged Hood many laurels, including the Kyoto Prize and the Lemelson-MIT Prize for Invention and Innovation. Hood tells PNAS how systems biology—the...

    QnAs with May R. Berenbaum [QnAs] (2011)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-03
    Description: Insects and plants often share a complicated relationship, and University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign entomologist May Berenbaum has a fine understanding of its chemistry. Berenbaum, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has long studied how insects and plants evolve chemical arsenals to survive together, pitting cunning defense against toxic offense. Author of a number of popular science books on coevolution, Berenbaum won the 2011 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement for her contributions to entomology. Among her many pursuits is an exploration of the likely cause of honey bee die-offs across the United States, an affliction called colony collapse disorder....

    QnAs with Baldomero M. Olivera [QnAs] (2012)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-22
    Description: As an aspiring young biologist in the 1960s, Baldomero Olivera left Stanford University to return to his native Philippines, finding a laboratory devoid of equipment. While applying for research funding, Olivera decided to study something local and inexpensive, recalling from his childhood that certain cone snails use a harpoon-like tooth to inject prey with a deadly paralyzing venom. On a whim, Olivera decided to purify cone snail venom to see how it works. That off-the-cuff decision spawned a surprisingly successful career. Olivera, now a distinguished professor of biology at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) and recently elected...

    Publication Date: 2012-06-27
    Description: For his strident advocacy of people-centered conservation, aimed at striking a balance between economic and ecological interests, Peter Kareiva has been often cast as a maverick among environmentalists. Thanks to a growing infusion of science into conservation efforts in the 21st century, Kareiva, elected in 2011 to the National Academy of Sciences, says the environmental movement has come a long way since its birth two centuries ago. As chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy, a bastion for environmental interests, Kareiva helped launch a collaborative endeavor called the Natural Capital Project in 2006 to develop scientific tools to evaluate the costs...
