& Isaac Newton'
"Science to me is almost like a religion," the late, Jewish, Nobel
Prize-winning pharmaceutical chemist Gertrude Elion once said.
"To me, science is truth, and truth is beautiful."
Elion, one of only 10 women to win the Nobel Prize in
Medicine, helped develop the first drugs used to fight viruses,
childhood leukemia and transplant rejection. She is one of seven
scientists featured in the film Me 6- Isaac Newton, which will be
screened at the Detroit Film Theatre 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22.
Directed by Michael Apted, (28 Up, 42 Up, etc.), Me 6. Isaac
Newton reveals the inspirations of these prominent scientists, all
from different fields, and explores the rarely discussed "creative
side" of the scientific endeavor through their own reflections on
their lives and works.
Elion, who received her Nobel Prize in 1988, died shortly after she
was interviewed for this film, which originally was released in 1999.

state, inextricably tangled with the
body."
He also refutes what he calls a
stale argument that good science has
to be free of feeling. I don't believe it.
I don't see any evidence."
He says that in his 30 years of run-
ning a laboratory, his colleagues were
never free of feelings — good and
bad.
He hopes that the book will have
some impact on the training of doctors
and scientists and feels strongly that
medicine could be improved if practi-
tioners relied on data and feelings.
About his own path back to
Judaism, Pollack offers a thoughtful
but condensed version of his story
that could easily be expanded into a
memoir.
"I'm a person of my generation,
more observant than my parents, but
not my grandparents."
He speaks of his good fortune in
having the opportunity to make a
choice to be more like his grandpar-
ents, "to pick up the thread that had
been going for thousands of years
that had been snipped by my par-
ents."
His own parents were very involved
on the political left. Now, as he notes
in the book, he's a person who prays
daily. He's enthusiastic about-his syn-
agogue, Or Zarua, on the Upper East
Side of Manhattan.
"I think of my Jewishness as lying
at the current margin between mod-
ern Orthodoxy and serious
Conservatism," he says.
"
Since 1998, he has been president
of the Hillel of Columbia University.
Pollack was instrumental in the
founding of Columbia's interdiscipli-
nary Center for the Study of Science
and Religion, and says he'd like to see
the Center provide continuing med-
ical education for clergy.
He says that more people will ask
their rabbis for advice about dealing
with genetic diseases and about
advances in genetics — and the rab-
bis don't know basic genetics.
The author of The Missing Moment:
How the Unconscious Shapes Modern
Science and Signs of Life: The
Language and Meaning of DNA,
Pollack, who grew up in Brooklyn,
has been a professor at Columbia
since 1978, and was Dean of
Columbia College from 1982 to
1989. He has also been a research sci-
entist at the Weizmann Institute and
at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,
and has taught at NYU Medical
Center and SUNY at Stony Brook.
The title page features an interest-
ing drawing of an open book by the
author's wife, Amy Pollack, who's a
painter. On the right side is the
walled Old City of Jerusalem, with its
clusters of buildings and inner walls,
while the left page features a cross-
section of a cell, with its clusters of
organelles surrounded by a membrane
wall, as it might appear under an
electron microscope.
In Amy Pollack's rendering, the two
complex structures bear strong simi-
larities.
