Do donors have too much influence over universities?

Do donors have too much influence over universities? “I scarcely know anybody who works in the academy these days who isn’t concerned about donors’ influence,” Professor Denise Réaume told me resignedly. “It’s almost unheard of for someone to make a big money gift that is not targeted in some way. Nobody calls up a university and says, “Here’s $20 million, now go do good stuff with it”. For this University of Toronto (UT) law professor as well as for Vincent Wong, a Toronto lawyer and former lecturer at the university’s law school, Exhibit A for undue donor influence is not the expected perk of naming of a building – as it is in so many American colleges and universities which have accepted gifts with strings attached from foundations such as Charles Koch Foundation.

Stimulating immune system with sponges made of silica

Date Time Stimulating immune system with sponges made of silica Silica nanoparticles developed by a team from the UNIGE and Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich have significantly increased the effectiveness and precision of immunotherapies.

While these treatments are often effective, their significant impact on the body can generate severe side effects. In order to increase their precision and limit undesirable side effects, a team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has developed silica nanoparticles with a very precise opening mechanism that can transport a drug exactly to where it should act.
