Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

Glioma Stem Cells (GSCs) – Molecular Signaling and Therapeutic Targeting: Shideng Bao (Learner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic) Fri, Aug 5, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Lurie Medical Research Center, Baldwin Auditorium, 303 E. Superior, Chicago Contact: Alexa Ann Nash, [email protected], 312-503-4893 Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal and common type of primary brain tumor. GBM displays striking cellular hierarchy containing glioma stem cells (GSCs). GSCs are functionally defined by extensive self-renewal, multi-lineage potency and potent tumor propagation. As GSCs promote tumor angiogenesis including vascular pericyte formation, cancer invasion, therapeutic resistance and tumor recurrence, therapeutic targeting of GSCs may significantly improve GBM treatment. We have identified several key signaling regulators that control the self-renewal and tumorigenic potential of GSCs. Molecular targeting of GSCs through functional inhibition of the newly identified targets in preclinical studies will be discussed. The presentation will be by faculty candidate Shideng Bao of the Cleveland Clinic.

One Book, One Northwestern
We think we want information when we really want knowledge.
The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth. Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise (2015)
One Book, One Northwestern is a community-wide reading program hosted by the Office of the President to engage the campus in a common conversation on a carefully chosen, thought-provoking book. The 2016-17 One Book One Northwestern choice is Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise. Silver, the founder and editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight.com, will deliver a keynote address at Northwestern on Thurs, October 6, shortly before the 2016 presidential election. It is a natural choice for Northwestern given the school’s investments in interdisciplinary work, data science, and quantitative analysis. This entertaining, elegant book on statistics and forecasting makes the world of data science accessible and it is a reminder that statistics are only as good as the people who wield them. Silver breezily investigates how predictions are made in a wide range of fields, including chess, baseball, and politics. He offers hopeful examples but weighs the process against a series of predicable catastrophes, such as the September 11 attacks or the earthquake in Fukushima, Japan. Events related to The Signal and the Noise will start in September 2016. For more information, please contact Nancy Cunniff at [email protected] or 847-467-2294. Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise: One Book, One Northwestern Keynote Address Thurs, Oct 6, 4:30 PM (doors open at 4:00 PM), tickets are free and available at the Norris box office starting Sept 29 Pick Staiger, 50 Arts Circle Dr., Evanston Contact: Nancy Cunniff, [email protected], 847-467-2294 Author Nate Silver will deliver the keynote address to the 2016-2017 One Book One Northwestern program. There will be a book signing in the lobby following the talk.
