Lander gives Genome lecture

Eric S. Lander, professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and director of the Center for Genome Research at the Whitehead Institute, will give a lecture titled “The Human Genome and Beyond” on Nov. 9 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in auditorium G-1 of the Kresge Building at the Harvard Longwood campus.

He has applied these techniques to the understanding of cancer, diabetes, hypertension, renal failure, and dwarfism.


HMNH seeks volunteers

The Harvard Museum of Natural History is looking for people who are enthusiastic about natural history to volunteer one morning or afternoon a week as a gallery guide. By encouraging adult and children visitors to touch and learn about the museum’s exhibits and artifacts, gallery guides act as the interactive and interpretive link between the public and the museum.

Correction

In an article about Dan Boyne’s book, “The Red Rose Crew,” in the Oct. 19 Gazette, a reference was made to the 1972 education legislation called Title IX. In the article, Title IX was incorrectly identified. We regret the error.
