The Rockefeller University was founded in 1901 by John D. Rockefeller Sr. as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The first institution in the United States devoted solely to using biomedical research to understand the underlying causes of disease, Rockefeller is today one of the foremost biomedical research centers in the world, and its scientists have made numerous seminal contributions to biology and medicine. Over the years, 24 scientists associated with the university have received Nobel Prizes and 21 have earned the Albert Lasker Medical Research Award. Fourteen Rockefeller scientists have received the Gairdner Foundation International Award and 14 have been given the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest scientific honor. In addition to a century of prize-winning breakthroughs, Rockefeller has devoted over half a century to training the next generation of innovative, pathbreaking scientists. http://www.rockefeller.edu/about/history
I’m going for this one. Who else is in?
Why is Tibets official Mickey Mouse mascot, the honourable Dalai Lama always lurking around key cities in the US? Seems like he spends more time here rubbing shoulders with Hollywood elite than in that hellhole base if his in Dharmsala, India.
The Dalai Lama is a man of peace. It is a great honour to have him show up in your city.
