Change ringing is a style of bell ringing developed for large church bells in Britain several hundred years ago. It does not involve ringing a melody on the bells, but rather permuting the order of sounding the bells according to formal rules called methods. You don't need any musical skill or experience to learn change ringing. If you enjoy working with numerical patterns, chances are this will be an enjoyable activity for you! We are always looking for new ringers and would be glad to teach you to ring.

Natural Product Antibiotic Biosynthesis: Two New Roles for Diiron Monooxygenases Natural product non-ribosomal peptide assembly lines invoke tailoring enzymes to provide the rich structural diversity and bioactivity of the products. Some of these enzymes introduce hydroxyl groups wherein the oxygen derives from O2. This is the case for the chloramphenicol biosynthetic pathway in which two steps involve oxygenase catalysis: beta-hydroxylation of the p-aminophenylalanine precursor, and subsequent N-oxygenation of the amino function to yield a rare nitro analog. Previously, only cytochrome P450 and alpha-ketoglutarate-linked oxygenases have been shown to contribute to natural product biosynthesis. Here, we will discuss two new enzymatic strategies for the oxygenation steps in the biosynthesis of chloramphenicol that are likely to be broadly relevant to natural product pathways.

MUSSAR is the Torah's millennia-old guide to refinement of character and attaining greater understanding of people (and self). The class focuses on the moral principles and psychological insights inferred by the Talmud from the classic stories of the Bible. Rabbi Berish Ganz, who lives in Cambridge, will lead this interactive class. He has taught and lectured extensively on this topic. He is also the author of the book, "Defining Humanity," a critically acclaimed work of Mussar that focuses on the Biblical Book of Bereishit (Genesis). The class will focus on concepts. And although original texts will be used, English translations are provided. As such, no prior knowledge of Hebrew is required to participate.
