In Memoriam: Donald D. Brown (Dec. 1931 – May 2023)
A trail-blazer in the study of genes Don Brown who served as the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) President in 1992 has passed away. Don purified the first eukaryotic gene before the era of DNA cloning, using ultracentrifugation to enrich the amplified ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes from oocytes of the frog Xenopus. This feat…
Political Pressure Puts Longstanding Science Agreement in Jeopardy
Anti-China political rhetoric along with increased examples of Chinese theft of scientific information are calling into question a science and technology cooperation agreement between the United States and China.
