David Nelson the architect . . .

. . . previously mentioned, who designed the interior spaces of Stanford's Clark Center, was quoted in an article about the building's grand opening:

"Bio-X is a new way of working, almost anarchy," and the design of the building had to reflect a radical departure from science as it is done traditionally.

Promising News on the Hepatitis C Front from Dr. Dave

Human Genome Sciences, Inc., announced today at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases in Boston that interim results from an ongoing clinical trial of Albuferon, a form of recombinant interferon, demonstrate that the drug is well tolerated, has a prolonged half-life, and is biologically active in treatment-experienced adults with chronic hepatitis C.

David Nelson, M.D., a lead author and clinical trial investigator, Chief, Section of Hepatobiliary Diseases, and Medical Director, Liver Transplantation, University of Florida, said, "Data from this observational study provide insight for the first time into how interferon works at the molecular level in patients undergoing therapy. Preliminary results from the cDNA array analysis show that Albuferon and treatment regimens containing pegylated interferon produce molecular signatures consistent with drug response. Preliminary data further demonstrate that, within the first seven days of treatment, the molecular signatures are comparable across therapy groups. In future analyses, we hope to apply this pharmacogenomic approach to elucidate molecular surrogate markers for clinical outcomes and toxicity."

Then there was David Nelson the artist . . .

. . . who painted the late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington in an unflattering light, stirred up some critics in high places, and filed suit for violation of his First Amendment rights, resulting in a memorable opinion by Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals:

"It has been clear since long before 1988 that government officials are not permitted to burn books that offend them, and we do not see any difference between burning an offensive book and burning an offensive painting. Since Hogarth, and indeed since long before, the visual arts have been a medium of political and social commentary. David Nelson had as much right to paint Mayor Washington in women's underwear as Thomas Nast had to caricature Boss Tweed."

For the complete text of the Posner opinion, go here, then type in the case number: 92-2991. And here's the offending work, entitled "Mirth and Girth."

Rabbi Dave Reflects on Yom Kippur:

As reported in the Detroit News today:

This Yom Kippur is especially poignant, with American soldiers in Iraq and so much bloodshed in Israel, Rabbi David Nelson said.

"We live in such unsettling times," said Nelson, of Congregation Beth Shalom in Oak Park. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to our people who are serving in Iraq and all over the world. The bloodshed that occurs in Israel and wherever innocent people are killed, our hearts bleed for them."
