Double Helix, Double Joy: David Danks: The Father of Clinical Genetics in Australia

By: Carolyn Rasmussen,Alister Danks

Professor David Danks explained in a public lecture revealingly titled, Double Helix, Double Joy, that 'Even from its infancy it was apparent that the double helix was going to change not only science, but also the community's image of science'. 'Double Joy' conveyed his sense that the developments cascading from Watson and Crick's initial DNA discovery would yield 'immense benefits' for people generally, and also for his own research ambitions. A double joy made concrete in the foundation of the Murdoch Institute for Research into Birth Defects where he could fully implement his vision of unfettered basic scientific research wedded to clinical practice and services to public health. Born into the long-established Melbourne family of hardware merchants, Danks chose a career path more aligned to that family's association with hospitals and health. Inspired to know 'why a disease had occurred' and 'how it could be anticipated and prevented', Danks trained with pioneers of human genetics in London and Baltimore from 1959. At that time, human genetics was scarcely known in Australia. Following his discovery of the cause of Menkes disease in 1972 and breakthroughs in PKU testing, he applied his entrepreneurial flair to the development of a brilliant multi-disciplinary research team focussed on the identification of genetic diseases affecting newborns and their treatment in the clinic. Dame Elisabeth Murdoch embraced his vision and helped launch the Murdoch Institute in 1986, based at the Royal Children's Hospital. A man of 'towering intellect', who did it 'because it was fun', Danks' legacy reaches beyond the Murdoch Institute to the establishment of clinical genetics services throughout Australia, the internationally acclaimed POSSUM database, and the next generation of researchers who continue to explore and expand his vision.

Miss America

By: Gorm Rasmussen

Hun prøver at huske. Med lukkede øjne. Hun memorerer med munden, men kan ikke, og læberne, de føles så tykke. Ligesom første gang. Det var Louisa hun betroede sig til, Louisa, der krympede munden sammen, som om hun var blevet slået, smed tallerken og viskestykke og tog hende og knugede hende, som hun aldrig gjorde det siden." En 80-årig, sindssyg dame erindrer sit unge jeg og forholdet, hun havde til en mørk landbrugsarbejder – et forhold, der af alle andre mest beskrives som voldtægt. Samtidig skildres begivenhedernes gang i USA’s historie – både på godt og ondt. Gorm Rasmussen er dansk forfatter og journalist. Han blev født 4. november 1945 i Aalborg, tog studentereksamen fra Aalborghus Statsgymnasium i 1965, læste derefter dansk ved Københavns Universitet, og i 1970 blev han uddannet journalist. Rasmussen debuterede i Hvedekorn i 1969, men det var i 1972, han udgav sin første bog – digtsamlingen "Marodøren". Rasmussen har primært fungeret som freelancejournalist, men har også undervist på diverse højskoler og folkeuniversiteter og medvirket i kortfilm- og dokumentarfilmprojekter.

Slaven Atticus

By: Jørgen Munck Rasmussen

Men så skete der noget. En af de røde kom så tæt på Murranus, at det lykkedes ham at lave en dyb flænge i hans lår med sit sværd. Murranus vaklede, og den angribende gladiator skulle lige til at springe i ryggen på Atticus. Livia gemte ansigtet i hænderne og var ved at besvime. Jorden sejlede under hende. Men i sidste øjeblik kastede Murranus af al sin kraft forken mod angriberen og ramte ham i halsen, så han med et skrig af smerte tumlede tilbage. I det sammen var endnu en af modstanderne over ham. Men Murranus havde atter fået fat i treforken. Selv om blodet fossede ud af hans sår i benet, kæmpede han som en besat. De røde var blevet færre. Der var nu fire tilbage af de røde og seks af de grønne. Da lød signalhornet." I Pompeji år 78 e.Kr. er den unge Atticus slave hos den rige Marcellus. Atticus er forelsket i sin herres unge datter Livia, og da forelskelsen afsløres, bliver Atticus solgt som gladiator og tvunget til at kæmpe for livet for øjnene af sin elskede. Jørgen Munck-Rasmussens ungdomsbog "Slaven Atticus" giver en realistisk skildring af livet i oldtidens Rom og Pompeji i de laveste såvel som de højeste samfundslag. Jørgen Munck Rasmussen, født 1949, lærer og produktiv dansk forfatter til især historiske romaner. Hans store interesse er det antikke Rom og middelalderen, og han har da også flere studieophold i Italien bag sig, men det nordiske islæt i romanerne fornægter sig ikke. Han har skrevet drama, egnsspil, revykomedier og revysange – blandt andet til Holbergteatret. Jørgen Munck Rasmussen er dybt engageret i samfundsdebatten og har forfattet en række samfundskritiske indlæg i landets aviser, blandt andet "Børn er livets mening", "Den lille terrorist" og "Der var så dejligt ude på landet.

The Blackburns

Private lives, public ambitions

By: Carolyn Rasmussen

When socialist barrister and aspiring member of parliament Maurice Blackburn met Doris Hordern, ardent feminist and campaign secretary to Vida Goldstein, neither had marriage in their imagined futures. But they fell in love—with each other as much as with their individual aspirations to change the world for the better. Theirs would be an exacting partnership as they held one another to the highest ideals. They worked as elected members of parliaments and community activists, influencing conscription laws, benefits for working men and women, atomic bomb tests, civil rights and Indigenous recognition. Together, they shook Australia.
