Most recently, the MBL received the Construction Industry Liaison Group "Owner Recognition Award" at the Build Boston Design and Construction Industry Convention. The MBL was fortunate to receive a total of $1 million from the Clowes Fund and the Lakian Foundation to help recruit a leading scientist to establish an independent research program and direct research services provided by the MRC. As I prepare this report, a group of applicants for this position is being interviewed by our Search Committee. Summer Research Activities From August 15 to 17, MBL scientists gathered in the Lillie Auditorium for the Laboratory's annual General Scientific Meetings. Last year more than 60 investigators and students presented their summer's research at the meeting. Topics ranged from cell division to comparative biology to neurobiology to phytoplankton dynamics. Fifty-one of those presentations were published as Short Reports in the October issue of the MBL's journal. The Biological Bulletin. The two short reports submitted by Peter Armstrong (University of California, Davis) and James Quigley (SUNY, Stony Brook) were recognized by The Biological Bulletin as the issue's Featured Articles. During the summer of 1994, Armstrong and Quigley and their co-workers found evidence that two protein molecules found in the blood of horseshoe crabs — limulin and «:-macroglobulin— play key roles in the innate immune systems of invertebrates. Their work suggests that limulin both recognizes and destroys invading microbes, and that «2-macroglobulin appears to be the regulator of that cell-destruction system.
