This antibody also holds great promise for helping doctors with cases of prostate cancer that are difficult to diagnose. A test based on this antibody should make it easier to use such tissue to make accurate diagnoses. About 300 astronomers will meet this week during an international workshop on the Hopkins Homewood campus to compare notes on their observations of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's spectacular collision with Jupiter last July. Astronomers gathering at the International Astronomical Union colloquium will begin creating a coherent picture from the vast amount of data collected by various instruments around the world and in space. The colloquium, co-sponsored by the Space Telescope Science Institute and Hopkins, will be held May 9 to 12.
Attendance is by invitation only.
In his essay, Levy traced the relationship between the historic building, built between about 1800 and 1806 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and the university, which purchased it in 1902 along with the land that would become Hopkins' new campus. In the presentation of his material, Levy included pages from the undergraduate yearbook Hullabaloo, showing views of the house and the campus from 1908 to 1932. The contest, open to Homewood freshmen and sophomores, was conducted to encourage more students to get to know about the historic mansion. Despite a heavy, cold rain that shut down Homewood's annual Spring Fair last Sunday, its organizers are calling Luau '95 a success. We had about 60,000 people visit the fair on Saturday.
