Yale: Yale Center
built 657 days ago
More recently, Yale has become a center for studying grand strategy, a catch-all phrase meant to encompass military history, statesmanship, leadership, and other disciplines thought useful for future American leaders. Each year the renowned professors Charles Hill, Paul Kennedy and John Lewis Gaddis teach a year-long seminar in grand strategy to a highly selective group of graduate and undergraduate students with the aim of preparing them for wielding power in government, business and public life. Students of the seminar are encouraged to network with one another and with guest speakers and participants. Grand Strategy alumni organizations have already sprung up in Washington, D.C. and New York City.

The Social Science Data Archive (SSDA) is the repository and reference center at Yale for machine-readable data sources in the social sciences. The SSDA owns and maintains a major collection of data from academic surveys, public opinion surveys, government agencies, international organizations, and related groups. SSDA codebooks and reference services are available through the Social Science Libraries and Information Services; the Social Science Statistical Laboratory provides technical assistance for dataset users. The SSDA holdings are restricted to use by the Yale community.

This sentiment was echoed by two internationally recognized diabetes experts and Isis collaborators, Dr. Gerald Shulman from Yale University and Dr. Luciano Rossetti from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York. "Using Isis' potent antisense inhibitors, we were able to investigate the role of several molecular targets in animal models of diabetes and we identified a critical target that results in the inability of insulin to inhibit excessive glucose release by the liver in obese and insulin resistant rodents," said Dr. Luciano Rossetti, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Molecular Pharmacology and Director, Diabetes Research Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY. "The Isis antisense inhibitors reduced the expression of this gene in the liver and completely restored normal hepatic insulin action."
