(University of Michigan, February 25, 2010) Ann Arbor, Michigan—The University of Michigan Institute for Social Research has received a $14.8 million construction award from the National Center for Research Resources, part of the National Institutes of Health. The award is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It brings the total of ARRA stimulus awards to ISR to $48.3 million to date. “I appreciate the National Institutes of Health’s continued commitment to maintaining the excellence of the U-M Institute for Social Research,” said Congressman John Dingell. “This grant will allow ISR to continue and expand upon its distinguished research, such as the Health and Retirement Study and the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, as well as to provide the faculty and staff with a first-class facility to match the quality of research produced. ISR’s expansion also provides a unique potential for job growth: opening up new positions for the unemployed in Michigan and solidifying opportunities for talented college graduates.” 
(ScienceDaily, March 1, 2010) — The key to life as we know it is water, a tiny molecule with some highly unusual properties, such as the ability to retain large amounts of heat and to lose, instead of gain, density as it solidifies. It behaves so differently from other liquids, in fact, that by some measures it shouldn’t even exist. Now scientists have made a batch of new discoveries about the ubiquitous liquid, suggesting that an individual water molecule’s interactions with its neighbors could someday be manipulated to solve some of the world’s thorniest problems — from agriculture to cancer. The work, led by Pradeep Kumar, a fellow at Rockefeller University’s Center for Studies in Physics and Biology who looks at the role of water in biology, makes it possible to measure how interaction between water molecules affect any number of properties in a system. It also paves the way for understanding how water can be manipulated to facilitate or prevent substances from dissolving in it, an advance that could impact every corner of society, from reforming agricultural practices to improving chemotherapy drugs whose side effects arise from their solubility or insolubility in water.
