  Academic Report: My Experiments on mammalian cell cycle

  Dr. Potu N. Rao was born in 1930 in south India. In 1963 he earned a Ph.D in Cytogenetics from the University of Kentucky. While at the Roosevelt Cancer Institute, in 1970 he published two seminal papers in the journal Nature that served as major milestones in understanding cell regulation and cell division. Dr. Rao was recruited to join M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, where he worked for many years, training many students and continuing his research. He retired as a professor of Cell Biology in 1991.

  Academic Report: Biodiversity, Humanity and Sustainability

  Prof. Kim is an entomologist and also biodiversity and sustainability scientist. After 40 years of academic service he retired from the Pennsylvania State University as Professor Emeritus in the Department of Entomology, Curator of Frost Entomological Museum, and Director of Center for BioDiversity Research, Institutes of Energy and the Environment. Started with taxonomy and systematics of dipteran families (Sphaeroceridae, Simuliidae, and Tephritidae) and Anoplura, and the study of infraspecific populations involving ectoparasites of rodents and other taxa, he devoted the first two decades of his scientific career on coevolution of parasitic arthropods and mammals and birds and evolution of infraspecific variations of insect pests.
