This lecture considers the growth of pictorial art during the Han dynasty (208 BCE to 220 CE), beginning with paintings on silk (including the famous "flying garment") from the tombs at Changsha, continuing with pictures on tomb objects ("mingqi") and lacquer designs, and ending with the remarkable relief pictures on tomb tiles found in Sichuan. Early renderings of space and the beginnings of expressive brushwork are revealed in visual analyses of all these.

UC Berkeley's Randy Schekman illuminated a fundamental process in cell physiology: how cells transport and secrete proteins. Disturbances in this process contribute to diabetes, immunological disorders and neurological disease. This discovery led biotech companies to coax yeasts into releasing useful protein drugs, such as insulin and human growth hormone.
