Hall was born in New York  Rosbash in Kansas City  and they both worked at Brandeis University.  Michael Young  was born in Miami and worked at Rockefeller University.

The trio's early work took place in 1984 when Hall and Rosbash worked together at Brandeis and  Young  at Rockefeller University to isolate the "period" gene  which controls the circadian rhythm of fruit flies. Hall and Rosbash then showed that the level of the protein encoded by this gene changes in a 24-hour cycle  going up during the day and down at night. They theorized that this protein blocked the activity of the period gene.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? Secretary of State Rex Tillerson speaks during a media opportunity with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj at the State Department in Washington  Friday  Dec. 1  2017. (Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press)
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday denied he wants to oust Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  calling reports to that effect “fake news ” as his top diplomat brushed off speculation that he has lost the confidence of the White House.
As  Tillerson  went about  his  normal schedule of diplomatic activities  including two meetings with Trump  the president said his secretary of state is “not leaving.”
“The media has been speculating that I fired  Rex Tillerson  or that  he  would be leaving soon - FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted. “He’s not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects  (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!”
The tweet was Trump’s strongest endorsement of his top diplomat since senior White House officials on Thursday began telling reporters that a plan had been devised to push  Tillerson  out and replace him with CIA chief Mike Pompeo. Immediately after reports of the plan emerged  Trump offered only tepid support for  Tillerson   noting only that he was at the White House for a previously scheduled meeting.
The halfhearted backing amid the swirl of speculation over  Tillerson ’s imminent demise had threatened to impair  his  effectiveness  particularly as  he  prepares for an official trip to Europe next week.
On Friday   Tillerson  attended two meetings at the White House with Trump — one with Libya’s visiting prime minister and then a lunch with the president and Defense Secretary James Mattis. Before those meetings   Tillerson  told reporters at the State Department that speculation  he  was on  his  way out was “laughable.”
Tillerson aides had said the secretary was sanguine and remained comfortable in his role despite the turmoil in Trump’s national security team centering on him. Aides said  Tillerson  would continue to serve until the president asked  him  not to and stressed that such a request had not been made.
Although  Tillerson  looks safe for now   he  will be losing a senior aide and conduit to the public in coming weeks.
R.C. Hammond  who has run State Department strategic communications since  Tillerson  took office  will leave his post in mid-December  officials said.
After a report in October that Tillerson had called the president a “moron ”  Tillerson  appeared before cameras to pledge fealty to his boss. Soon after  Trump publicly challenged his secretary to an IQ match.
When  Tillerson  was tapped for the job late last year  many Trump critics expressed quiet relief that  he ’d picked a sober “adult” who could form a counterweight to the president’s brasher  more impulsive approach  especially on critical matters of war and peace.
Yet divisions on key foreign policy issues emerged quickly  and Trump has repeatedly undermined  Tillerson  by voicing positions at odds with his.
When  Tillerson  in June called on Arab nations to ease their blockade on Qatar  Trump hours later lambasted Qatar for funding terrorism. Trump also deemed diplomacy with North Korea a waste of time  when  Tillerson  was pursuing just that.  Tillerson ’s advice to Trump to stay in the Paris climate deal and certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal was similarly overruled.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Akins ? For years   Bill Akins  fought to capitalize on  his  idea - with the U.S. government   his  former business partner and a rival competitor - but found  himself  stymied at every turn.
The 63-year-old Marine veteran and Elvis impersonator voiced  his  sorrow at the tragedy in Las Vegas  where authorities said Stephen Paddock had bump stocks installed on 12 of his rifles. The device allows semi-automatic weapons to fire almost as rapidly as machine guns  which are largely outlawed.
“I would like to express my dismay and sincere condolences to the victims  families and anyone affected by the recent Las Vegas mass shooting ”  Akins  said during a telephone interview from  his  home about 45 minutes north of Tampa  Florida.
But  he  also defended the devices as protected under the U.S. Constitution’s right to bear arms.
“People need to recognize that we either have a constitution  or we don‘t ”  he  said.
 Akins  first came up with  his  idea while watching a documentary about World War Two in 1996 that showed twin anti-aircraft guns firing at Japanese warplanes from a U.S. Navy ship.
 He  saw the barrels sliding back and forth with each concussive recoil and wondered if  he  could design a device that would mimic that action  turning a semi-automatic rifle that fires once per trigger pull into a weapon capable of shooting hundreds of rounds per minute.
The result  which  he  eventually termed the “Akins Accelerator ” seemed promising enough. Akins teamed up with a firearms industry businessman  secured two letters from the Bureau of Alcohol  Tobacco  Firearms and Explosives (ATF) affirming the mechanism behind the device was legal  and poured his savings into the project.
Another company  Slide Fire Solutions  began making its own version of the bump stock that was approved by the ATF  in large part because it lacked a recoil spring that  Akins  had included.
 Akins  transferred  his  patent to an outdoor sporting goods company  FosTecH Outdoors  and the two rival manufacturers engaged in a legal battle over patent infringement before settling the case in 2012.
 Akins  is limited in what  he  can say about the litigation  saying only that  he  is “legally prevented” from discussing certain aspects of the bump stock industry. But  he  made clear  his  ire at the ATF.
“They just destroyed our business ”  he  said.
 Akins  put up  his  own property as collateral for a loan to launch the business.  He  estimated  he  sold several hundred devices  priced at more than $1 000 each  before  he  was shut down - not enough to cover  his  startup costs.
 He  filed two unsuccessful federal lawsuits against the ATF  leaving  him  with a workshop full of unused Akins Accelerators.
“Boy  did I get an education ”  he  said. “I‘m not a person who’d ever done business before with a corporation  never worked in the firearm industry before  just a tinkerer that came up with an idea.”
