In cooperation with the USA Pavilion, the USC U.S.-China Institute will select 160 undergraduate and graduate students to serve as student ambassadors at next year's Shanghai Expo. These students will work with the millions of visitors, including the many business and government delegations who will visit and discuss the displays addressing the technologies and strategies needed to address the challenges associated with building better cities and improving lives. These student ambassadors will also assist with the hundreds of talks, screenings, panel discussions, and performances that will be offered at the USA Pavilion.

Students selected for the program will receive training, airfare, housing, and a stipend to cover meals and local transportation. Student ambassadors will serve in Shanghai from April 15 to July 31 or July 15 to October 31, 2010. (We know this is a poor fit for academic calendars, but the Expo schedule requires it.)

Details about the program and the minimum qualifications required of applicants are available at:
http://china.usc.edu/ShowArticle.aspx?articleID=1838

Applicants must be currently enrolled college students and be US citizens or permanent residents. They can be enrolled in any college or university (including schools in China). They must have completed at least two years of Chinese (or possess an equivalent level of competency). The Institute and Pavilion are committed to recruiting a diverse group of students. Students from all disciplines, backgrounds, and regions are encouraged to apply.

Montand stars as a Spanish communist party chief who lives under multiple assumed identities. A revolutionary without a cause or a country, he's exiled in Paris. Engulfed by fears, fantasies, and futilities, he begins a love affair with young radical Bujold. Contemplating a return to Franco's Spain even with the risk of capture by the police, Montand is powerfully moving and romantic as a lost man of ideals in Resnais's powerful illustration of a troubling question: what happens to political commitment in the rush of time?

华人科学家高锟获诺贝尔物理学奖金

瑞典皇家科学院6日宣布，原香港中文大学校长华人科学家高锟（Charles Kao）以及两名美国科学家韦拉德-博伊尔(Willard Boyle)和乔治-史密斯(George Smith)获得2009年诺贝尔物理学奖，以奖励他们在光纤和半导体领域上的开创性研究。

他们将分享1000万瑞典克朗(约合140万美元)的奖金。其中高锟将获得一半的奖金，另外两名获奖者平分另外一半奖金。

舊金山加州大學等三名美國科學家因染色體研究獲諾貝爾醫學獎

諾貝爾醫學獎五日揭曉，三名美國科學家伊莉莎白‧布雷克本、卡蘿‧格萊德與休斯塔克，因發現染色體在細胞分裂時的複製過程與老化的關聯而膺選，這項研究可望為癌症治療和抗老化帶來曙光。

三人的研究成果說明了染色體的自我保護機制，可在細胞分裂時成功複製，且不致使基因鈍化。

瑞典卡洛林學院諾貝爾大會表示，三人的研究「解決了生物學的一個重要問題，了解染色體如何於細胞分裂時完整複製，並防止退化。這項發現為我們認識細胞增加新面向，為對抗疾病機制提供曙光，並刺激潛在新療法的發展」。

布雷克本（Elizabeth H. Blackburn）和格萊德（Carol W. Greider ）發現，位於染色體頂部的端粒，乃由端粒每形成，這種酵素正是防止細胞退化的關鍵。布雷克本和休斯塔克（Jack W. Szostak）的研究則指出，端粒每不足將導致老化。

卡洛林學院教授韓森負責去電通知得獎者，他表示三名科學家都親自接了電話，雖然聽起來有點睏但很高興。休斯塔克還說，要辦個盛大的派對慶祝。

聽聞得獎時，格萊德正忙著送小孩上學，因此延遲發表得獎聲明。她謙虛地說，研究之始純粹出於好奇，並未想到成果有助於癌症治療。

這也是諾貝爾獎歷來首次有兩名女性同時獲頒醫學獎，出生於澳洲的布雷克本擁有澳洲及美國雙重國籍，她是澳洲第一位榮獲諾貝爾獎殊榮的女性。

格萊德任教於約翰霍普金斯大學醫學院，六十歲的布雷克本是舊金山加州大學的生物學家，曾任格萊德指導教授。五十六歲的休斯塔克目前在波士頓的麻州綜合醫院教授基因學，三人可平分一千萬克朗獎金。
