Wendy GilbertBio:Wendy Gilbert is excited to join the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale, coming from her previous post as an Associate Professor of Biology at MIT. Her love affair with molecular biology in general, and RNA in particular, began at Princeton, when she was an undergraduate studying alternative pre-mRNA splicing in Paul Schedl’s lab. She earned her PhD at UCSF with Christine Guthrie, studying mRNA export and being fascinated by the exquisite mechanisms that couple export-competence to completion of RNA processing. As a postdoc in Jennifer Doudna’s lab at UC Berkeley, she studied mechanisms and regulation of translation initiation. Since starting her own lab in 2008, Wendy has continued to study the features of mRNAs that control protein production. Research in Wendy’s laboratory is unified by her interest in RNA-dependent regulatory mechanisms and currently includes investigations of translation efficiency determinants, alternative 5′ UTRs, ribosomes, snoRNAs, and regulated RNA modifications. She was the inaugural winner of the RNA Society’s Early Career Award in 2017. |

Barbara GoddardBio:Basha served as Sr. Administrative Assistant to five Masters and as the Administrator of Jonathan Edwards College from 1980-2005. She coordinated the Tetelman Fellowship from its inception and loved working with students, Fellows, staff and whoever else in creating events for the benefit of all in the greater community. She traveled with the Yale Symphony to far away lands, and especially enjoyed planning recitals (and an occasional opera), extending JE’s fine tradition in the arts. ”It was a great ride,” and when her second granddaughter was born on her 65th birthday, she moved to Berkeley to help and enjoy yet another of life’s beautiful experiences. She misses the Yale scene and is available to chat with students at any time. |

Robert GordonBio:Robert Gordon ‘52 JE. After completing my dissertation in what is now known as condensed matter physics and some work for the Air Force R&D Command I began teaching at Columbia University. Then in 1965 I joined Geology & Geophysics at Yale. It was an exciting time. Plate tectonics was the new thing and we were figuring out how solid rock could flow so that continents could drift. The Yale geology department was strong on interdisciplinary collaboration. I worked with colleagues in Economics and, later, the industrial ecologists in Forestry & Environmental Studies on the science and economics of mineral resources. Next came new laboratory techniques for extracting information from archaeological artifacts. With colleagues in Archaeology studies I applied these to interpretation of materials retrieved by the Yale expeditions to Nubia, and to Machu Picchu. I’m now in York, Maine, and in the past year published a book chapter on transformative innovation in mining and metallurgy, and a paper on the tide power system that once occupied what is now Boston’s Back Bay. |

Shiri GorenBio:SHIRI GOREN is the Director of the Hebrew Program at Yale University, and a faculty member in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and the Program in Jewish Studies. Her teaching and research focus on contemporary literature, film, and other cultural production in Israel/Palestine, second language acquisition, and the pedagogy of inclusive teaching of culture. Her work has appeared in a variety of venues including Jewish Social Studies; CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture; Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society; Hebrew Higher Education and in several edited volumes, among them: Israeli Television: global Contexts, Local Visions (2021); Teaching the Arab-Israeli Conflict (2019) and Narratives of Dissent: War in Contemporary Israeli Arts and Culture. Goren is the co-editor of Choosing Yiddish: New Frontiers of Language and Culture (2013). |
