National Synchrotron Light Source Lunch Time Seminar

"Naturally Obsessed"

Presented by Richard and Carole Rifkind, Parnassas Works

Friday, October 10, 2008, 12:00 pm — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

This special edition of the Friday Lunchtime Seminar will feature the screening of "Naturally Obsessed," a one-hour documentary, filmed in part at the NSLS. The documentary follows a group of Columbia University crystallographers for three years. The film, featuring the research group of NSLS user Larry Shapiro, was produced and directed by Carole Rifkind, an author and educator, and her husband Richard Rifkind, former head of the Columbia University Cancer Center and Chairman Emeritus of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. Specifically, the film chronicles the group's study of a protein known as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to reveal a new path toward the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
