Susan Lindquist was a worldwide leader in the understanding of protein folding in living cells, of enzymes that mediate this process, and of perturbations that result in the formation of abnormal protein aggregates. Some of these aggregates, called prions, are infectious: they can cause abnormal folding and aggregation of otherwise normal proteins. The work of Dr. Lindquist has been instrumental to our understanding of these processes, which underlie major neurodegenerative diseases. Yet another singular contribution by Dr. Lindquist was her discovery that HSP90, a stress protein, functions as a "capacitor" of phenotypic variation, through the ability of HSP90 to buffer against genetic alterations of biochemical pathways, thereby increasing the diversity of phenotypes available for natural selection. This insight revealed a previously unsuspected source of variation that underlies the evolution of living organisms. From 2001 until 2004 Dr. Lindquist directed the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. She served as professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She earned her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1976 and previously taught at the University of Chicago (1978-2001). She was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2010. Susan Lindquist died October 27, 2016, at the age of 67. | |

Stephen J. Lippard is the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and studied at Haverford College (B.A. in Chemistry) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry). After a postdoctoral year at MIT during 1965-66, he joined the faculty of Columbia University where he served until moving to MIT in 1983. His research activities span the fields of inorganic chemistry, biological chemistry, and neurochemistry. Included are studies to understand and improve platinum anticancer drugs, the synthesis of dimetallic complexes as models for non-heme iron metalloenzymes, structural and mechanistic investigations of methane monooxygenase and related bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases, and inorganic neurotransmitters, especially nitric oxide and zinc. He has published 900 papers on these and other topics and has co-authored a popular textbook with Jeremy Berg entitled "Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry." He supervised the Ph. D. thesis research of 115 graduate students and more than that number of postdoctoral associates, many of whom hold significant positions in academic, industrial, or government institutions or in the medical or legal professions. His honors include the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry, National Medal of Science, the Priestley Medal (highest award bestowed by the American Chemical Society), the Centenary Medal awarded by the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK, the Pauling Medal, the James R. Killian Jr. Faculty Achievement Award from MIT, awarded to one member of the faculty each year, the F.A. Cotton Medal for Excellence in Chemical Research, Luigi Sacconi Medal from the Italian Chemical Society, co-recipient of the first Christopher J. Fredrickson Prize for Research in the Neurobiology of Zinc, ACS Ronald Breslow Award for Achievement in Biomimetic Chemistry, and election to the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Irish Academy, Italian Chemical Society, and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He holds several honorary degrees. His research on platinum complexes led to the co-founding of Blend Therapeutics in 2011. Based in Watertown, Massachusetts, Blend (now Placon Therapeutics) has recently had an IND approved by the FDA to take a new platinum compound into a Phase I clinical trial for cancer treatment. | |

Thomas Livezey (25 March 1724–11 September 1790) was a miller, poet, and winemaker, and a member of the American Philosophical Society via his 1768 election to the American Society. Born in Lower Dublin Township, Pennsylvania, he learned the miller’s trade from his father before purchasing a mill on Wissahickon Creek. Over the years he acquired a number of other properties, some of which were leased for an unsuccessful gold-mining expedition. Livezey dabbled in poetry, sending APS member Thomas Wharton a sample of his flour with a playful verse attestation to its quality. He also presented his friend, APS member Joseph Galloway with a poem extolling the virtues of his rural home. Around 1766 Livezey began making wine from the region’s wild grapes. He sent some to Benjamin Franklin in London, but despite the latter’s praise and the interest of English merchants, he never planted a vineyard to expand production. Livezey was one of the first contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital. He was also a donor to the Silk Society and a founding trustee of the Union School of Germantown. He was elected to the Assembly as a member of the anti-proprietary party in 1765 and reelected annually through 1771. There, he served on a significant number of committees, including the Committee of Correspondence. But despite this role, he was not an active patriot. In the first place, his Quakerism prevented him from bearing arms; moreover, another surviving poem, this one addressed to APS member and prominent Loyalist William Franklin, promoted moderation in response to the mounting tensions between England and the colonies. Just before the 1777 Battle of Germantown, Livezey was seized as a suspected Loyalist. Following his release he retired from business and devoted his energies to his faith. (PI) | |

William Livingston (30 November 1723–25 July 1790) was a lawyer and politician, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1768. Born in Albany, New York, Livingston decided not to follow the family path into a lucrative fur trading business and instead pursued the study of law. After graduating from Yale in 1741, Livingston joined other would-be lawyers by entering into an apprenticeship. His mentor, APS Member James Alexander, ended this arrangement after Livingston published criticisms of not only the apprenticeship system but also Alexander’s wife. Thereafter, Livingston trained under APS member William Smith, Sr. and was admitted to the bar in 1748. Livingston’s practice grew to become one of New York City’s most successful practices, a platform he used to champion reforms to the legal education system. Livingston entered the fray of New York politics, siding with the City’s Presbyterian-dominated Whig Party. Turning to the pen to launch political attacks, Livingston fought against the Anglican Church at home and the Church of England abroad. In 1772 he retired from his legal career and moved his family to Elizabethtown, New Jersey at his newly constructed country Estate, Liberty Hall. The maelstrom over separating from Great Britain soon swept aside Livingston’s plan for retirement. Livingston was elected to both the First and Second Continental Congresses and accepted (despite no military experiences) an appointment as New Jersey’s brigadier general of militia in 1775. He relinquished this position the following year when he was elected New Jersey’s first governor in 1776, a position he held through repeated reelection until he died. During the war, he used the position to surveil loyalists, efforts they repaid with repeated attempts against his life. In the years following the end of the war, Livingston remained active in national politics as well, supporting a strong federal government and playing a crucial role in New Jersey’s adoption of the Constitution. He died at Liberty Hall in 1790. (PI) | |
