Gavin Borden Visiting Fellow Lecture
This annual event was initiated in 1995 to honor scientific textbook publisher Gavin Borden, who died in 1991 of salivary gland cancer, in an effort to carry on the mission that was so dear to him--the education of graduate students. Each year, the visiting Gavin Borden Fellow gives a lecture to students and spends time dining and talking with them about science and careers in science.
The Gavin Borden Fellow in 1998 was Marc W. Kirschner, chair of the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School and a prominent contributor to science policy issues. His talk on March 23 was entitled "Proteolysis Control of the Mitotic Cycle."
