Susan Band Horwitz, PhD’63, was awarded the National Foundation for Cancer Research’s 2020 Szent-Györgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research. She is the Rose C. Falkenstein Chair in Cancer Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Jacob Hen-Tov, MA’68, PhD’69, is a retired professor of Eurasian studies at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies. He is working on expanding his decades-long study of legal reforms in the Soviet Union’s post-Stalin era to include a look at reforms in law enforcement and the legal system. The study will shed new light on the de-Stalinization processes undertaken by Nikita Khrushchev. Paul Wassarman, PhD’68, wrote “A Place in History: The Biography of John C. Kendrew,” published by Oxford University Press in April. Kendrew, an English biochemist and crystallographer, received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which he shared with Max Perutz, for their studies of the structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Wassarman was a postdoctoral fellow with Kendrew in the late 1960s. Gerald Moore, PhD’69, retired from the Air Force Research Laboratory at age 70, almost seven years ago. The 1970 paper based on his 1969 dissertation with Brandeis physics professor Hugh Pendleton has been cited more than 400 times. Gerald is still an active hiker. He and his wife, Sharon Moynahan, have a 4-year-old granddaughter, Kaylee Morrow.
