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.
