“The 37-year-old graduate student sat on a stool in a molecular biology lab one late night in 1989 and stared at a gel.
“Craig Tuerk was tired and had been running experiments for 18 hours straight, and with growing excitement scribbled down chemical sequences.
“If what he saw were true, his experiment reproduced a result that nature had taken thousands of years to produce. By sifting and resifting molecules, he found a sequence of molecules that fit a protein like a hand in a glove, stopping DNA from replicating. He also found several unexpected sequences out of 56,000 possibilities that could equally fit the protein like a key in a lock.
“The result was totally surprising, and Tuerk had an astounding insight. Using this process, he thought, he could find nucleic acids that can bind very tightly to any protein, and maybe he could find a way to intercept proteins that cause disease.”

“To serve this busy infusion center, the oncology pharmacy processes as many as 85 orders a day. For any pharmacy, preparing chemotherapy doses requires adherence to strict protocols so that the cleanroom environment remains clean and uncontaminated – and technicians stay safe – while handling these hazardous medications. Adding to the intensity of this work environment, these compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) are customized for each patient and have a limited shelf life. Further, they can cost thousands of dollars per dose. In fact, the majority of Peninsula Regional Medical Center’s $28 million annual pharmacy budget is devoted to chemotherapy preparations.”

“We take clean, affordable drinking water for granted. Always.
“Yet it might not be that way forever.
“People in a small Colorado town learned firsthand about life without tap water when salmonella infected their source water in 2008. For three weeks, Alamosa residents were restricted to one gallon of water a day. Bottled water supplies were stripped off shelves. Restaurants, car washes, and beauty salons closed. Families ate off paper plates, cooked microwave meals, and bathed in their single gallon.
“Fortunately, such disease outbreaks are rare in the United States, thanks to a sophisticated water infrastructure and advanced water treatment techniques. Alamosa’s situation reminds us that water is precious, and keeping it safe and plentiful is critically important to our well-being and our livelihoods.”
