"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. Tickets are $6.

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.
