John F. Szwed, the John M. Musser Professor of Anthropology and American Studies, has been appointed the 2003-2004 Louis Armstrong visiting professor of jazz studies at Columbia University. Szwed will teach two courses on jazz. The appointment is supported by a grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, which Armstrong founded to support jazz education.
Bryan Hains, a postdoctoral fellow in neurology, has been awarded the 2003 Central Nervous System Section Young Investigator Award for his work on degeneration of nerve cells after spinal cord injury. He will also will receive the Caroline tum Suden/Francis A. Hellebrandt Professional Opportunity Award. Both awards will be presented by the American Physiological Society at the Experimental Biology Meeting in San Diego, April 11-15. Hains' work shows that after traumatic injury to the spinal cord some of the nerve cells within the cerebral cortex that control movement degenerate as a result of injury to the nerve fibers that send messages down the spinal cord. Hains' research is important because it opens up the possibility of improving function in people who have sustained spinal cord injuries by treatments that prevent the death of these nerve cells.
