Different Culture Warrants Different Approach Hill Lecturer Hopes 'Dilemmas' of AIDS in Africa Will Spur Renaissance By Carla Garnett
In many crucial ways, AIDS in Africa is different than AIDS in the
United States. So said Dr. Malegapuru William Makgoba, president
of the Medical Research Council of South Africa, who delivered the
second annual James C. Hill Memorial Lecture, "The HIV/AIDS
Pandemic: An African Dilemma" on May 15. The differences, he
contended, present a number of problems unique to the continent
and require different approaches to prevention and treatment of the
disease.
Life After the Lab By Rich McManus
It might be a good thing that Lipsett Amphitheater was not that
crowded for a talk given May 11 by two ex-NIH postdocs who have
gone on to new careers in teaching; after all, they seemed more
engaged, more vitalized, a tad more riddled with life than perhaps
the average young NIH scientist, especially the beleaguered postdoc
caricatured in those NIH Catalyst cartoons drawn by Dent.
