Diabetes research at the 
University of Michigan 
Program for Neurology 
Research & Discovery 
(PNR&D) raised a pillar of 
support with a $500,000 gift 
from Alene and Jeff Lipshaw 
and the Milstein Family 
Foundation. The donation 
will establish the Rose C. and 
Nathan L. Milstein Family 
Emerging Scholar Fund, which 
will provide funding in per-
petuity for a PNR&D junior 
faculty member investigating 
diabetes.
Diabetes has become an 
epidemic in the United 
States. More than 30 mil-
lion Americans have diabe-
tes, while 85 million more 
have prediabetes. According 
to the American Diabetes 

Association, healthcare expen-
ses for diabetes cost the U.S. 
$327 billion per year.
“I am so incredibly thankful 
for Alene and Jeff’
s transfor-
mative gift to support diabetes 
research in my laboratory,” 
said Eva Feldman, M.D., 
Ph.D., the Russell N. DeJong 
professor of neurology. 
The inaugural Rose C. and 
Nathan L. Milstein Family 
Emerging Scholar will be 
Stephanie Eid, Ph.D., who is 
investigating how the nerve 
cells of diabetics use sugar and 
fat for energy production. Her 
goal is to fully understand 
how free radicals are impacting 

nerves so that she can find a 
counteracting target for drug 
therapy.
“Jeff and I consider it a priv-
ilege to support Dr. Feldman, 
Dr. Eid and the amazing dia-
betes research taking place at 
the Program for Neurology 
Research & Discovery,” said 
Alene Lipshaw, who is the 
granddaughter of Rose and 
Nathan Milstein. “My grand-
parents’
 philanthropic vision 
was to improve public health-
care through research and 
education. We are very excited 
to play a part in the break-
throughs that are being devel-
oped to treat diabetes.”

Questionable Sign 
Language

(JTA) — A gesture signaling 
a hooked nose is how one 
Belgian university described 
“Jew” in its online sign-lan-
guage dictionary.
The University of Ghent 
compiled the dictionary and 
features the gesture in vid-
eos on the website.
The European Jewish 
Association protested in a state-
ment last week. Its director, 
Menachem Margolin, said the 
first two videos depicting a Jew 
“seem standard.” Both show a 
presenter stroking an imaginary 
beard.
“The second involving side-
locks are borderline acceptable 
if misleading,” he said, “and 
the last two are simply racist 
and demeaning to Jews, using 
a gesticulation of a large and 
hooked nose to define Jew.”
Margolin has asked campus 
authorities to remove the two 
gestures from the dictionary.
