| Security
Steps’ Impact
On Science Worrisome
Presidents
and chancellors of the nation's 62 largest research universities
have cautioned against excessive security procedures in the
war on terrorism that could hurt the country's ability to
attract the best minds from around the world for U.S. science,
engineering and medical research programs. In an article in
the Washington Times, presidents of the Association
of American Universities said it would seriously harm continued
scientific and medical breakthroughs if the government clamps
down on foreign scientists and engineers coming into the United
States — especially in the wake of the September 11 terrorist
attacks, in which there has been a new emphasis on tracking
non-American students in the country. Full
story. |

UCSC
Genome Browser
Portal to Human Genome As
leaders of the Human Genome Project announced the project's
successful completion at a press conference last week, UCSC
bioinformatics researchers made the completed reference sequence
of the human genome publicly available on the web-based UCSC
Genome Browser. This was also the first site to make the initial
working draft of the human genome publicly available in June
2000. The UCSC Genome Browser provides a web-based "microscope"
for exploring the human genome sequence and is used daily
by thousands of biomedical researchers throughout the world...UC

UC
Considers Time Reduction Plan
University
of California President Richard Atkinson has issued
a seventh communication updating the budget developments
in California. Among the options UC is considering
to address its anticipated budget shortfall is a new
program – Staff and Academic Reduction in Time,
or START – that would allow state-funded employees
to reduce their working hours on a voluntary basis.
The goal is temporary salary savings plus some flexibility
in working hours for many employees seeking it. Read
the President’s message here. |

Survey. Schwartz leads the Earthquake Probabilities Working
Group, which in 1999 published 30-year earthquake probabilities
for the Bay Area. The talk, which is free and open to the
public, will be held in Sibley Auditorium in the Bechtel Engineering
Center. Contact Lind Gee at 643-9449 for more information.

Correction
Friday's story on the Molecular Foundry indicated another
University of California action will be required at the Board
of Regents meeting in May to authorize design and approve
the project. In fact, Thursday's action by the Regents constituted
the final UC approval to go forward on the Foundry.
