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.” UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Gift to Help Diabetes Research As Asso so i ci ci t at atio ion, healthc hca f di di b Dr. Eva Feldman, Alene Lipshaw and Dr. Stephanie Eid 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.
