Practical Japanese Learning

Practicing Japanese from zero

By: Nicolas Chambon

Your time is a precious asset. In Practical Japanese Learning, the approach is simple : - You will start talking Japanese from zero without bothering about all the different rules that you are usually told to comprehend when you learn a new language. - You will be explained how to pronounce the different sounds. - You will learn how to make your own sentences based on concrete examples and explanations, by the end of the first chapter. - You will be practicing through translation tests. - You will be provided additional words at the end of the book. The idea is to go as straight to the point as possible, learning through practice should bring you the feeling of making progress sentence after sentence.

Gene Jockeys

Life Science and the Rise of Biotech Enterprise

By: Nicolas Rasmussen

The scientific scramble to discover the first generation of drugs created through genetic engineering. The biotech arena emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, when molecular biology, one of the fastest-moving areas of basic science in the twentieth century, met the business world. Gene Jockeys is a detailed study of the biotech projects that led to five of the first ten recombinant DNA drugs to be approved for medical use in the United States: human insulin, human growth hormone, alpha interferon, erythropoietin, and tissue plasminogen activator. Drawing on corporate documents obtained from patent litigation, as well as interviews with the ambitious biologists who called themselves gene jockeys, historian Nicolas Rasmussen chronicles the remarkable, and often secretive, work of the scientists who built a new domain between academia and the drug industry in the pursuit of intellectual rewards and big payouts. In contrast to some who critique the rise of biotechnology, Rasmussen contends that biotech was not a swindle, even if the public did pay a very high price for the development of what began as public scientific resources. Within the biotech enterprise, the work of corporate scientists went well beyond what biologists had already accomplished within universities, and it accelerated the medical use of the new drugs by several years. In his technically detailed and readable narrative, Rasmussen focuses on the visible and often heavy hands that construct and maintain the markets in public goods like science. He looks closely at how science follows money, and vice versa, as researchers respond to the pressures and potential rewards of commercially viable innovations. In biotechnology, many of those engaged in crafting markets for genetically engineered drugs were biologists themselves who were in fact trying to do science. This book captures that heady, fleeting moment when a biologist could expect to do great science through the private sector and be rewarded with both wealth and scientific acclaim.
