Biography from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_C._S%C3%BCdhof

Thomas Christian Südhof (born December 22, 1955) is a German-American biochemist well known for his study of synaptic transmission. Currently, he is a professor in the School of Medicine in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, and by courtesy in Neurology, and in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.

He is the co-awardee of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (with James Rothman and Randy Schekman) for work on vesicle trafficking.

A German native, Südhof was born in Göttingen in 1955. He spent his childhood in Göttingen and Hannover, and was a graduate from the Hannover Waldorf School in 1975. Südhof studied medicine at the RWTH Aachen University, Harvard University, and then the University of Göttingen where, in 1982, he obtained his M.D. The same year, Südhof finished work on his doctoral thesis, in which he described the structure and function of chromaffin cells, at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in the lab of Victor P. Whittaker. After a brief postdoctoral fellowship in Whittaker’s lab, Südhof moved to the United States in 1983, where he began postdoctoral training in the department of molecular genetics at the University of Texas Health Science Center (now the UT Southwestern Medical Center) in Dallas, Texas, under the supervision of Michael Stuart Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein.

During his postdoctoral fellowship, Südhof worked to describe the role of the LDL receptor in cholesterol metabolism, for which Brown and Goldstein were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1985. Südhof finished his postdoctoral training in 1986 and was made an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He was also given his own laboratory at UT Southwestern Medical Center where he focused on the Presynaptic Neuron for over 20 years.

In 2008, Südhof moved to Stanford University and is currently the Avram Goldstein Professor in the School of Medicine as well as a Professor of Molecular & Cellular Physiology, Psychiatry, and Neurology.

He ascribed his powers of analysis and concentration to boyhood lessons with his bassoon teacher, Herbert Tauscher.

Michael Levitt, Ph.D, is an American-British-Israeli biophysicist and a professor of structural biology at Stanford University, a position he has held since 1987. His research is in computational biology and he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Levitt received the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with Martin Karplus and Arieh Warshel, for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems". Michael Levitt was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to a Jewish family from Plungė, Lithuania; his father was Lithuanian and his mother was of Czech descent. He attended Sunnyside Primary School and then Pretoria Boys High School between 1960 and 1962. The family moved to England when he was 15. Levitt spent 1963 studying applied mathematics at the University of Pretoria. He attended King's College London, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1967. In 1967, he visited Israel for the first time. Together with his Israeli wife, Rina, a multimedia artist, he left to study at Cambridge, where his three children were born. In 1979, he returned to Israel and conducted research at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, becoming an Israeli citizen in 1980. He served in the Israeli Defense Forces for six weeks in 1985. In 1986, he began teaching at Stanford, and since then has split his time between Israel and California. Levitt holds American, British and Israeli citizenship (he is the 6th Israeli to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in under a decade). Levitt spends time every year in Israel, where his wife and children live.

Dr. Steven Zarit has done considerable research as regards how the stress experienced by family caregivers can best be managed. His recent research focuses upon the benefits that caregivers derive when their elder attends a day care facility. This arrangement allows them a valuable respite from their caregiving efforts. His studies indicate that having this support even results in caregivers' level of stress hormones decreasing. 

Dr. Zarit developed the Zarit Burden interview that measures the extent to which caregiving might be placing a "burden" upon those who accept this "responsibility." It has been used extensively in both therapeutic and research settings. 

Itasha's teachers have been many. s she describes herself: The journey long and beautiful. I was born clairvoyant, telepathic, high empathic.  No veil was present-knowledge of past existence was present. Direct contact with Creator provided teaching from Star Beings and Angels from day one. My Earth teachers have been Lakota Medicine Men Martin High Bear, Frank Fools Crow and Devere Eastman {Brave Buffalo} of Eagle Butte, South Dakota. They made and presented me my pipe. I have completed my four year SunDance and am a Sacred Pipe Holder.

I spent 26 years in sacred spaces. Often for years at a time, isolated from mainstream society, while being taught by the Medicine, Holy people. These places were: Mt Shasta {in and on it}, the Klamath -Modoc , Lakota Bear Butte and Eagle Butte, the Blackfoot, Hopi, Navajo, and ten years the White Mountain Apache. My academic background is as a teacher. I am trained in Spanish, World Civilization, History and Anthropology. I have a B.A. and a Masters in Ed leadership. My degrees and certification are: A.S.U., Purdue and N.A U. I have taught on the reservation.

The Holy people explained to me that I was to come to the city to help teach and prepare people for this Spiritual special time. I was chosen by the Elders and Medicine People in 1980-81 at their gathering in Arizona, as a Wisdom Keeper, to represent the Spiritual Ones. It was a seven day test and ceremony, where we were intensely scrutinized. For one year I traveled representing them. Some of these Elders were Hopi, Navajo, Lakota,  Huichol, Taramahara, Pima and Apache. Present were Medicine People of other Nations. I am also an Azteca Dancer. I have performed on the Pima Reservation. I am a writer and Poet with Native Images, in the past, Presentations have been done across Arizona with A.S.U. English Dept under Dr.Lynne Nelson, in prior times. This is a special time of Great Peace and Love coming out. The Wisdom teachings are being brought to many so they may awaken and gain understanding and Love. Ultimately it can only be done through the Creator and Divine LOVE.
