Homewood

pproximately 250 young Baltimoreans are in their fourth week of employment on the Homewood and East Baltimore campuses through Johns Hopkins Institutions’ partnership with the city’s YouthWorks Summer Jobs Campaign. The six-week program, administered by Baltimore’s Students Office of Employment Development, exposed is designed to get local youth, ages 14 to various to 21, working and earning money during career the summer, exposing them to a variety of paths public- and privatesector work settings and helping them prepare for future careers. The local youth—150 of them at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, about 20 at Bayview Medical Center and 100 at Homewood and other university sites—are working in a variety of departments. Their positions range from administrative and clerical work to assisting faculty and staff with their clinical responsibilities, research studies and technical support duties. The students work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to noon on Fridays; on Friday afternoons, all 250 gather in Shriver Hall at Homewood or Turner Hall in East Baltimore to hear guest speakers talk about such topics as how to achieve business success and professionalism and how to be good money managers. At a kick-off event for the YouthWorks program earlier this year, JHU President Ronald J. Daniels called the university’s involvement “a terrific illustration of how the city and Baltimore’s private employers can work together to address an urgent public need.” Daniels said he was proud that Johns Hopkins answered the call to expand the summer jobs program in the midst of a very serious national Continued on page 3

ayne Schaumburg brakes for historic cemeteries. Well, the bumper sticker on his car says he does, and after spending a few moments with the lifetime Baltimore resident, you realize it’s probably not just a one-liner. Schaumburg loves history, particularly that of 19th-century America and of his hometown. He taught history and social studies in the Baltimore City Public School System for 39 years up until his retirement in 2007. No small wonder that he gravitated to the graveyard called Green Mount Cemetery, the final resting place for the Who’s Who of Charm City. The list of those buried there includes Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, William and Henry Walters, Sidney Lanier, William Rinehart and John Wilkes Booth, to name just a few famous Marylanders. Known as “Baltimore’s Valhalla,” the cemetery also features the gravesites of numerous political leaders and nearly 20 Civil War commanders. Schaumburg began giving tours of Green Mount in 1985 as a volunteer

team of ethicists from Johns Hopkins, Duke and Georgetown universities is urging organizers of a recently begun $3 billion decades-long study of children’s health to immediately add provisions to look at the health and medical profiles of the children’s mothers during their pregnancies. “We argue that the National Children’s Study is an extraordinary oppor-

It’s an easy, cost-efficient and uncontroversial way to advance the health of pregnant women, as well as the babies they bear.” Noting that results of the NCS are likely to guide children’s health care treatment and policy for generations, Margaret Little, of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, added, “The simple act of adding

Bloomberg School hosts Pacific Rim public health leaders

he Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health recently hosted the third annual Public Health Workshop for the Association of the Pacific Rim Universities World Institute, or AWI. The event featured more than 40 public health leaders from around the Pacific Rim who participated in a series of lectures and discussions tailored to address the theme “Forging Public Health Partnerships in Response to the Global Economic Crisis.” Established in 1997, the association is a network of 42 leading research universities in the Pacific Rim that promotes economic, scientific and cultural advancement. The AWI was established in 2006 as a forum in which leading researchers, policy advisers and business executives from that association could address issues of regional and global concern.

wo Johns Hopkins faculty members— Pablo A. Celnik, an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation and of neurology at the School of Medicine, and Thao “Vicky” Nguyen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering—are among the 100 winners of this year’s Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. Celnik was cited for his research on the underlying mechanisms of “plasticity” in the brain and central nervous system, work designed to speed the development of new treatments that promote recovery of function following an injury. As medical director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Outpatient Neurologic Rehabilitation Program, he heads a team that manages problems associated with spasticity, weakness, cognitive deficits and the aftermath of stroke, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury. Nguyen’s research focuses primarily on tissue mechanics, shape memory polymers and the fracture mechanics of polymers. She is developing mathematical and computational methods to help understand and predict the mechanical behavior of soft materials. Her work has potential medical, aerospace and security applications. One of her projects, in collaboration with the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins, involves studying how the mechanical behavior of the eye’s cornea and sclera transmits mechanical stress to the optical nerve. The research could lead to bet-

he Johns Hopkins Hospital has once again—for the 19th consecutive time—earned the top spot in U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of more than 4,800 American hospitals, placing first in three medical specialties and in the top 16 in 13 others. “While we’ve become happily accustomed to saying so, it remains true that this is a well-earned tribute to Hopkins Hospital’s wonderful nurses and staff, the School of Medicine’s faculty physicians, our residents and fellows, and the many community physicians with whom we have close ties,” said a joint letter of congratulations to all employees from Edward D. Miller, dean and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Ronald R. Peterson, president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. Of the 4,861 hospitals analyzed for the magazine’s Best Hospital list, only 21 made it to the Honor Roll topped by Hopkins. The rankings are based on high scores in at least six of 16 ranked specialties and a “unique breadth of excellence,” the magazine says. Looking forward, Miller and Peterson said the news is “perhaps especially welcome this year as we watch the final stages of our campus renewal take form, intensify our commitment to patient safety, innovation, diversity and community, expand the membership of Johns Hopkins Medicine and address the challenges of delivering the best care more effectively and efficiently.” Miller and Peterson have long supported the public’s interest in learning more about their health care, and in independent eval-

ment of pregnant women is central to the success of the study.” Including questions about pregnant women in the NCS could improve women’s health during pregnancy and beyond, and reduce the anxiety of many women facing tough medical decisions during pregnancy, all without significantly increasing the study’s costs or diverting attention from children’s health, Faden said. The NCS, which started earlier this year after nearly a decade of planning, is designed to track the effects of the many aspects of the

environment on the health of more than 100,000 children from before birth to age 21. In order to enroll children even before birth, pregnant women (and in some cases, women prior to pregnancy) will be recruited in medical centers all over the country. Many of the 4 million women who give birth each year in the United States face conditions that require medical treatment during pregnancy, but the drugs and other treatments prescribed for conditions ranging from high blood pressure to cancer to asthma are currently prescribed on the basis of research involving almost exclusively men and women who were not pregnant, raising questions about efficacy and safety for pregnant patients. Historically, testing drugs on pregnant women has been consid-

They’ve also been learning firsthand about GCPA’s mission of communicating the messages of Johns Hopkins by blogging about their experiences at the divisions they’ve visited and the people they’ve met along the way. (To read their blog, which they named A Kid in the Conference Room, go to www .jhblogs.com/youthworks.) “It’s not what I thought I’d be doing,” said Chanel Pierce, a senior at the Institute of Business and Entrepreneurship High School. “I thought I’d be doing a lot of filing, not working on big projects and taking field trips. It’s the most thinking I’ve ever done during the summer, but I like it.” Pierce and her co-workers also went behind the scenes to help out at a press conference organized by GCPA and hosted at the School of Education, featuring President Daniels and U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes of Maryland. The event was held to promote a new federal loan program that allows

individuals who choose to work in public service for 10 years to reduce or eliminate their qualifying loan and debt. “My favorite part was the press conference—I’d never been a part of anything like that before,” said Samone Ijoma, a junior at Roland Park Country School. “It was really interesting to see all the news people there with their cameras.” According to Baltimore City officials, the goal this year was to be able to offer jobs to 7,000 young people, an increase of more than 20 percent from last year. Everyone who applied for a summer job and met the criteria was offered one, they said. The students weren’t the only ones to benefit from the program, according to KerrDonovan. “With the state challenged by a high unemployment rate and most Hopkins departments dealing with a hiring freeze, the six-week program presents a win-win situation for the institution, community, young people and their families,” she said.

uations, or “report cards,” of health care outcomes. “We applaud sincere efforts to assess safety, outcomes and service at institutions like ours, and we trust that as these efforts improve over time they will be of even more use in informing the medical community, patients and insurers,” they said. This year’s ranking guide reports results using a survey of a hospital’s reputation among a national sample of board-certified specialty physicians. It also analyzes objective indicators, including death rates, patient safety, nurse staffing and designation as a national nurse “Magnet” hospital, advanced technologies such as robotic surgery, state certification as an advanced trauma center, patient services such as genetic testing and geriatric care, designation as a National Cancer Institute cancer center, the availability of specialized care in Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy, and the availability of advanced cell therapies for cancer. In addition to landing at the overall No. 1 spot on the Honor Roll by accumulating 30 points in 15 specialties, The Johns Hopkins Hospital ranked No. 1 in Ear, Nose and Throat, Rheumatology and Urology; No. 2 in Geriatric Care, Gynecology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology and Psychiatry; and No. 3 in Cancer, Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders, Digestive Disorders, Heart and Heart Surgery and Respiratory Disorders. The hospital ranked No. 5 in Orthopedics, No. 6 in Kidney Disorders and No. 16 in Rehabilitation Medicine.

ered too risky to the fetus. Although the Institute of Medicine recommended 15 years ago that pregnant women be involved in clinical research, many institutional review boards and researchers still exclude them because of ethical and liability concerns, even for studies that carry no risks. Because of limited information about safety and efficacy in pregnant women, their medications are often cut back or halted altogether, even for serious medical conditions that pre-existed or emerge during pregnancy, a practice that in itself may lead to significant harm to women and their fetuses, the article says. “Pregnancy changes the body in dramatic and often unpredictable ways,” said Anne Drapkin Lyerly, of Duke University, adding that previous studies show that pregnancy alters liver enzymes, concentrations of sex hormones and the speed with which drugs are metabolized by and excreted from the body. All these changes mean that pregnant women may be getting too little of a drug to be effective, or too much of a drug to be safe. Including pregnant women in clinical research has ethical complexities, but health care for the host of serious medical problems that pregnant women experience cannot be improved unless they are included at least in large observational studies that put the fetus at no risk, Faden said. The NCS protocol has already been refined to include more information about the health of pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes, but virtually none of the data collection is currently designed to specifically address women’s health risks and status over time, the authors said. For example, the study will include blood sampling to analyze the effects of maternal medication use on the fetus, but the study as presently organized won’t look at whether the medication is safe or effective for the woman herself or whether forgoing the medication compromises her health.

16 patients, 8 ‘new’ kidneys, 4 hospitals: Johns Hopkins surgeons lead largest-ever ‘domino donor’ kidney transplant By John Lazarou

Johns Hopkins Medicine

urgical teams at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit successfully completed the first eight-way multihospital domino kidney transplant. The transplant involved eight donors (three men and five women) and eight organ recipients (three men and five women). “All Johns Hopkins patients are in good condition and are recovering as anticipated,” said Robert A. Montgomery, director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Transplant Center.

The procedure, kidney paired donation, or KPD, takes a group of incompatible donor-recipient pairs (recipients coming to one of the four hospitals with a willing donor who is not compatible by blood or tissue) and matches them with other pairs in a similar predicament. By exchanging kidneys between the pairs, it is possible to give each recipient a compatible kidney. In this way, each recipient receives a kidney from a stranger, and transplants are enabled that otherwise would not have taken place. Involving multiple hospitals created more possibilities for matches, but it also made the procedure more complex. “We performed a similar, six-way domino procedure involving three hospitals earlier this year,” Montgomery said,

“[and] we managed to perform all those surgeries on the same day. However, adding two more recipients, two more donors and another hospital meant that we needed a multihospital team of eight anesthesiologists, 16 nurses and nine surgeons. The logistics being that much more complicated, we decided it was best to spread the surgeries over several days.” Aside from sheer logistics, performing large numbers of transplants on one day puts a lot of strain on the doctors, nurses and staff at each hospital, Montgomery says, and also ties up too many operating rooms. This new model, he says, will serve as a blueprint for a national KPD program in which kidneys will be transported around the country, resulting in an estimated 1,500 additional transplants each year.

Pamela Paulk donates kidney for colleague Robert Imes

Keith Weller

amela Paulk, vice president for human resources at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Health System, took her work to the next level June 22 when she joined an elite group of humanitarians and donated a kidney to a needy recipient. Paulk was part of the four-state, 16-patient kidney exchange orchestrated by Robert Montgomery, chief of the Transplant Division at Johns Hopkins. It was the largest such multiple donor-recipient exchange to date. These exchanges—so-called domino kidney paired donation—enable multiple donors and recipients to interchange kidneys so that each recipient can receive the kidney that best matches his or her blood and tissue type, thus helping to ensure that the kidney will have the best chance of long-term survival. The ultimate beneficiary of Paulk’s generosity is Robert Imes, who received someone else’s kidney because of her donation. Imes is a painter at The Johns Hopkins Hospital whom Paulk got to know nine years ago during contract negotiations with Imes’ local union. “We have been good friends for a long time,” Imes said. Although Imes’ kidney had failed three years ago, Paulk learned about it only recently when he had to take 10 months off from work. She describes Imes as a soft-spoken, kind and polite man, not the type who would complain a lot about his problems. “When he returned to work,” Paulk said, “I asked him if there was anything I could do. He said, half joking, that if only I could give him a kidney. To his surprise, I told him I would. I don’t think he believed me.” Imes says he was touched by her kindness. “Although, to be honest, I kind of shrugged it off. It is one thing to say you want to give a kidney and another to go through all the work it takes to actually donate one,” he said. Paulk says that she first thought of donating 10 years ago, after meeting Montgomery at a party. They talked about the need for organs, and that most people carried around a spare kidney that could save someone’s life. Montgomery even invited Paulk to witness a surgery, which she did. “There is a magical moment in the procedure when you can actually see the kidney begin to function. It had a powerful effect on me,” Paulk said. She was so moved by this experience that she became a supporter of kidney donation and began speaking at small events at Johns Hopkins to raise awareness. The incongruity of a national kidney shortage when, theoretically, there is ample supply compelled her to want to donate someday. She says she was just waiting for the right time. “I felt like, if you believe in this, you have to be willing to do it yourself,” she said. Paulk says there was no defining “aha” moment when she decided she was ready. “I just reached a point where I thought

that I should do it while my kidneys are healthy,” she said. “And then I met Robert, and I guess it was just time.” Shortly after Paulk learned of Imes’ desperate need, she went to the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Transplant Center and said that she wanted to donate her kidney to Imes. Testing revealed that she and Imes did not have the same blood type, and he could not receive her kidney. When she called Montgomery and asked if there was any way she could help Imes, he told her about domino kidney paired donation. When he explained that this procedure not only guaranteed Imes the best kidney but would also benefit a lot more recipients, she did not hesitate to sign up. “As strange as it might seem, my only real fear was the anesthesia,” Paulk said. “My mother was in nursing training back when anesthesia was very risky, and she always warned me against anesthesia.” Paulk says what helped her make the final commitment was a conversation she had with her friend John Ulatowski, chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology. “When I told him my fears, he laughed and said, ‘You’re about to have major surgery, and you’re concerned about the anesthesia? Get over it.’” It might not have been the most comforting of responses, but Paulk says it did the trick.

Paulk says she is happy with her decision and plans to continue to be a vocal advocate for kidney donation. “I am already telling everyone I see, Do you know you have two kidneys and only need one?” To further her efforts in getting others involved, Paulk created a blog chronicling her experience. To read her entries, go to http://pameladonates.blogspot.com. — John Lazarou

An altruistic donor—one who is willing to donate a kidney to any needy recipient—started the domino effect. Just like falling dominoes, that donor’s kidney went to a recipient from an incompatible pair, that recipient’s donor’s kidney went to a recipient from a second pair and so on. The last remaining kidney from the final incompatible pair went to a recipient on the United Network for Organ Sharing waiting list. One of the donors in this procedure was Pamela Paulk, vice president for human resources at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Health System. (See accompanying story.) Paulk, a longtime supporter of kidney donation, decided to donate to a friend and colleague who had lost function of his kidneys three years ago. “I always knew I was going to donate. I was just waiting for the right time, and this was the right time,” said Paulk, whose surgery took place on June 22. Paulk joins roughly 100,000 Americans who, since 1988, have donated a kidney to needy recipients, according to data from the UNOS Web site. As encouraging as that sounds, 84,000 people in the United States alone are currently listed by UNOS as needing a kidney. With only about 6,000 people donating kidneys annually, we are a long way from eliminating this problem, Montgomery says. As part of the complex procedure, Johns Hopkins flew one kidney to Henry Ford, one to INTEGRIS Baptist and one to BarnesJewish; in exchange, each of those hospitals flew a kidney to Johns Hopkins. The 16 surgeries were performed on four different dates, June 15, 16 and 22 and July 6, with nearly 100 medical professionals— immunogeneticists, anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, nephrologists, transfusion medicine physicians, critical care doctors, nurse coordinators, technicians, social workers, psychologists, pharmacists, financial coordinators and administrative support people—taking part. The other surgeons who participated were Mohamad Allaf, Andrew Singer and Dorry Segev, at Johns Hopkins; Scott Samara and Shea Samara, at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center; Surendra Shenoy and Martin Jendrisak, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital; and Dean Kim and Lauren E. Malinzak, at Henry Ford Hospital. Johns Hopkins surgeons performed one of the first KPD transplants in the United States, in 2001; the first triple swap, in 2003; the first double and triple domino transplant, in 2005; the first five-way domino transplant, in 2006; and the first six-way domino transplant, in 2007. Johns Hopkins also performed the first multihospital transcontinental three-way swap transplant, in 2007, and the first multihospital transcontinental six-way swap transplant, in 2009.

Johns Hopkins scientist named outstanding woman vet Johns Hopkins Medicine

Johns Hopkins veterinarian whose vocation is HIV research and avocation is the care of dog “athletes” has been named the 2009 Outstanding Woman Veterinarian of the Year by the Association for Women Veterinarians Foundation. M. Christine Zink, professor and director of the Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology in the School of Medicine, was recognized for wide-ranging professional achievements with an award presented July 14 at the American Veterinary Medical Association convention in Seattle. “It’s most gratifying to be a medical school

researcher receiving this award,” Zink said. “Most of the focus is on those who do pet care, so I am doubly honored.” For almost all of her two decades at Johns Hopkins, Zink has investigated the neurological impact of HIV using animal models of disease. Three years ago, in what she calls the “discovery of my career,” she found that an inexpensive, safe antibiotic called minocycline suppresses both the development of HIV-related brain damage and replication of the virus. That antibiotic is now in clinical trials in the United States and Africa. “It’s really exciting for a veterinarian to know that you were able to make a difference in the lives of people suffering from this worldwide epidemic, particularly those in developing countries who can’t afford

antiretroviral drugs,” Zink said. Historically, research was regarded by many as a “less valiant” part of the veterinary profession, said Zink, who earned her doctoral degree in veterinary medicine in 1978 from the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, graduating first in her class. The author of four books about canine health, three of them focused on the canine athlete, Zink has been a leader of a movement to create a new specialty—veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation—and currently is editing a textbook to help teach veterinarians and veterinary students about this emerging field. For 30 years, she has trained her own dogs to compete in agility, obedience, field trials,

tracking and conformation. While health and nutrition standards are well-known for pets, the same is not true for canine athletes, which have special requirements similar to those of human athletes. “We can’t look at human medicine separate from animal medicine,” said Zink, a proponent of an emerging concept known as One health, One medicine. “It makes perfect sense from a veterinarian’s view to be looking at them together.” Stacy Pritt, who chairs the board of the Association for Women Veterinarians Foundation, said that Zink’s recognition as Outstanding Woman Veterinarian of the Year is an “incredible honor because of the peer nomination and the level of competition.”

APL part of team expanding space weather radar network By Kristi Marren

Applied Physics Laboratory

pace weather researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory are helping expand a global radar network used to study electrical disturbances in our atmosphere that can create auroral displays or disrupt communications, knock out electrical power grids, damage satellites or even affect astronauts. The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network, or SuperDARN, expansion project, scheduled for completion in 2012, will add an array of midlatitude radars to capture data on drifting plasmas in our ionosphere that radars at high-latitude locations miss when strong solar storms stretch to lower latitudes. The SuperDARN network currently consists of 21 radar sites in eight countries and Antarctica, with 14 northern sites stretching from Finland, through Canada, to Japan that monitor the ionosphere above the North Pole, and seven southern sites arrayed around and in Antarctica that observe events above the South Pole. Four new radar pairs will be built—one pair per year—in Kansas, Oregon, the Aleutian Islands and the Azores. “With expanded radar coverage stretching from Eastern Asia to Europe and from Kansas to the magnetic north pole, we will better understand the near-Earth space environment, which will help us better understand and predict the effects of solar storms on space- and ground-based systems,” said Elsayed Talaat, APL’s SuperDARN principal investigator and science lead. The SuperDARN project began at APL, and the midlatitude expansion is a collaborative effort between Virginia Tech, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Dartmouth College and APL. “We’re partnering with the other institutions on the design and construction of the new radars, and APL is providing and

The Kapuskasing SuperDARN radar, in Canada, is one of three radars collaboratively managed by APL and Virginia Tech.

installing all related software,” Talaat said. APL built and manages the Wallops Island radar in Virginia, the first midlatitude radar constructed, and collaborates with Virginia Tech on three other existing radars located in Goose Bay and Kapuskasing in Canada, and in Blackstone, Va. APL is the central data collection and distribution site, and maintains the software for radar operation and data analyses, as well as the project’s Web site, where several products, including real-time radar displays and convection maps, and time-series and field-of-view measurements, are archived and made available to the atmospheric science communities. The software and Web site are maintained at APL by Robin Barnes, the SuperDARN software engineer since 1997. The radars at each SuperDARN site are virtually identical, with some minor differences in antenna design and for accommodating the physical conditions at the site. Each radar has two arrays of 50-foot antenna

towers; the primary array consists of 16 towers, and the secondary, interferometer array consists of four towers. The antennas function as a single radar with beams scanning a 53-degree sector. They operate 24 hours a day, autonomously transmitting five gigabytes of data daily back to APL through computer and electronic equipment housed in an accompanying building at each site. APL then routes the data to the other principal investigator institutions. SuperDARN data is being used in conjunction with data from NASA’s TIMED (Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics) spacecraft, built and operated by APL, to study heating in the thermosphere and for auroral studies. The SuperDARN project is funded by grants from the National Science Foundation. For more information, go to http://superdarn .jhuapl.edu.

urgeon John L. Cameron, who was for 19 years the surgeon in chief at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, is among the 2009 recipients of the Hope Funds Awards of Excellence in cancer research. He is being honored for decades of work refining the Whipple procedure, one of the most common surgical treatments for pancreatic cancer, work that has helped reduce post-surgery death rates from 25 percent to less than 5 percent. Cameron, the Alfred Blalock Distinguished Service Professor of Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, was honored along with two other distinguished cancer scientists and a Wall Street Journal reporter on July 18 at a dinner in Newport, R.I. The Hope Funds Awards of Excellence, now in their third year, are given to individuals nominated by their peers and selected for their service in the field of cancer research and treatment, their contributions to advancing cancer care and their personal integrity and character. Cameron is believed to have operated on more people with pancreatic cancer than any other surgeon in the world. Colleagues

say that his meticulous efforts to perfect the Whipple procedure have extended the reach of potential cures involving this complex and difficult procedure. “This is a great and truly befitting honor for John, who has not only spent his career dedicated to pancreas surgery and improving the care of patients with pancreatic cancer but has trained many of the top pancreas surgeons in the country, providing a crucial medical legacy that will benefit patients for many decades to come,” said Julie A. Freischlag, the William Stewart Halsted Professor in the School of Medicine, who succeeded Cameron in 2003 as surgeon in chief at Johns Hopkins. Cameron earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard in 1958 and his medical degree from Johns Hopkins in 1962. His postdoctoral training, in general and thoracic surgery, took place at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Cameron has had a long-standing interest in alimentary tract diseases, and specifically in pancreatic cancer. He is currently president of the American College of Surgeons and is past president of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, Southern Surgical Association, Society of Clinical Surgery, Society of Surgical Chairmen, Halsted Society and American Surgical Association.

the Nicolaus Copernicus Medal by the Polish Academy of Sciences. The award is the academy’s highest honor. Rose, who is a professor in the School of Medicine’s Department of Pathology and in the Bloomberg School of Public Health’s W. Harry Feinstone Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, was recognized for his discoveries on thyroiditis, which ushered in the modern investigation of autoimmune disease. The award will be presented to Rose at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., by Poland’s ambassador to the United States. Chuan-Hsiang Huang, a postdoctoral fellow in Cell Biology, has been named a Damon Runyon Fellow by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. The recipients of this prestigious three-year, $140,000 award are outstanding postdoctoral scientists conducting basic and translational cancer research in the laboratories of leading senior investigators. With his sponsor Peter N. Devreotes, Huang is studying chemotaxis, a process by which cells migrate in response to naturally occurring chemical cues in the human body. This process is essential for normal cellular movements as well as for the spread of cancer cells (metastasis). Better understanding of chemotaxis will facilitate the development of strategies to block cancer metastasis. Pradeep Ramulu , assistant professor of ophthalmology, has been chosen to receive the Dennis W. Jahnigen Career Development Scholars Award from the American Geriatrics Society. Funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies, the award provides a two-year grant of $200,000 to help young faculty launch and maintain a career in research and education in the geriatrics aspects of their specialty. Ramulu was cited for the promise demonstrated in his research proposal, “Real-World Assessment of Mobility in Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration.” Anthony Tufaro, associate professor of plastic surgery and oncology and vice chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, has received the American College of Surgeons’ 2009 Health Policy Scholarship for General Surgeons. A highly competitive scholarship, it is awarded annually to two surgeons to subsidize their attendance at the organization’s Executive Leadership Program in Health Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Levi Watkins Jr., professor of surgery and associate dean for postdoctoral programs, was given a Living Legend award by the Associated Black Charities at its annual gala in June. Lisa Cooper , professor of medicine, was acclaimed a Trailblazer at the same event. As previously reported, Phyllis Sharps , professor and head of the School of Nursing’s Department of Community Public Health, was named an Emerging Leader. School of Nursing Anne E. Belcher, associate professor in

Acute and Chronic Care, has been honored with two awards for excellence in teaching: a National League for Nursing Award and a Nursing Spectrum Nursing Excellence Award. Belcher, who serves as director of the school’s Office of Teaching Excellence, is a 40-year veteran of nursing education with expertise in oncology and the psychological effects of cancer. She will receive the NLN award at the organization’s Education Summit in September. She is one of six regional winners of the Nursing Spectrum award, whose names were announced in June; the finalist will be named at the end of the year. Jacquelyn C. Campbell, the Anna D. Wolf Professor in the Department of Community Public Health, has been named to a three-year term on the Institute of Medicine’s Board on Global Health. Campbell is a national leader in research and advocacy in the field of domestic and intimate partner violence, and on their effect on communities and families. Continued on next page

He is a past recipient of the school’s Robert S. Pond Sr. Excellence in Teaching Award. The 2008 Advertising and Promotion class, offered by the W.P. Carey Program in Entrepreneurship and Marketing, was a winner of a 2009 Marketing Excellence Award presented by the American Marketing Association, Baltimore Chapter, at its annual awards event. The student marketing group, named HopComm, was recognized for the traditional and nontraditional tactics it used to target recruitment of Johns Hopkins premedical students to join the U.S. Navy’s Health Professions Scholarship Program. With a budget of $2,500, they achieved “a tremendous increase in positive perception and a 20 percent increase in likelihood to join the Navy.” At the event, the class’s instructor, Leslie Kendrick, a senior lecturer in the Center for Leadership Education, was recognized for her service and commitment to the AMA’s student job search workshop.

Cemetery Continued from page 1 with the Baltimore City Life Museums. He backed into the job, he said. “Another person at the museum, who was a decorative arts expert, planned to give a tour of the cemetery. He said, ‘I’m just working from notes, why don’t you come along and chime in when you want? We’ll play off each other,’” Schaumburg said, recalling the conversation. “After the tour, he pulled me aside and said, ‘You really know a lot about this place. You should be the one giving the tours.’ I’ve been doing them ever since.” In 1997, when the Baltimore City Life Museums closed, Schaumburg struck out on his own and began offering two-hour extensive tours of the cemetery on Saturdays in May and October. When he’s not hanging around old cemeteries, Schaumburg, who received his MLA degree from Johns Hopkins in 1979, teaches noncredit courses at the Johns Hopkins Center for Liberal Arts, in both its Odyssey and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (formerly the Evergreen Society) programs. He also teaches part time for Towson University and Roland Park Country School, and lectures and gives tours of Baltimore to various civic, senior and college groups. This fall, Schaumburg will teach an Osher course centered on the cemetery called Where Baltimore’s Best Were Laid to Rest: Green Mount Cemetery and the “Movers and Shakers” of 19th-Century Baltimore. Through six lectures and a study tour of Green Mount, participants will explore events that contributed to Baltimore’s rise as a major urban center. Green Mount Cemetery was one of the earliest rural or garden cemeteries in the country. Samuel Walker, a Baltimore tobacco merchant, led the campaign to establish it after visiting Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Mass. Schaumburg said that Walker marveled at the beauty of Mount Auburn and wanted a similar place in Baltimore where people could pay their respects to the dead and also enjoy a nice day out. “He wanted to make a graveyard a pleasant place, to make it parklike. He thought people would want to come here and stroll the grounds and even pack a picnic lunch,” he said. “In large part, it was about getting people to be less fearful of death by making a cemetery not so gloomy.” The site chosen for the cemetery was the country estate of the late merchant Robert

Oliver. Oliver’s property, known as “Green Mount,” was a hilly location at the then northern boundary of the city. A group led by Walker purchased 65 acres of the estate, at the price of $65,000, from the heirs of Robert Oliver, and Green Mount Cemetery was officially established on March 15, 1838. Benjamin Latrobe Jr., a civil engineer with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, laid out the early design of the cemetery, now known for its shady avenues, beautiful gardens and Victorian-age monuments and mausoleums. Schaumburg said the concept immediately took off and spawned three similar cemeteries in Baltimore: Loudon Park, Baltimore and Mount Olivet. “Cemeteries like Green Mount, in fact, became immensely popular and were duplicated across the country,” he said. Green Mount burial was open to the public, or anyone who could afford a $100 plot, quite a sum in those days. The first person laid to rest was 2-yearold Olivia Cushing Whitridge, daughter of a prominent doctor. The cemetery now includes more than 65,000 individuals. “Just about anybody who was anybody in Baltimore is buried here,” he said. Notably, the cemetery features the graves of Johns Hopkins, the Walters family and Enoch Pratt: three of the city’s “big four” 19th-century philanthropists, Schaumburg said. “It’s unfortunate that Peabody is not buried here to complete the set,” Schaumburg said with a grin. Peabody was buried, perhaps fittingly, in Peabody, Mass. The gravesite of Johns Hopkins is notable, Schaumburg said, for its plainness: a large marble slab floating in a sea of much more massive, elaborate and ostentatious grave markers. “People are always surprised when they get to this part of the tour. They go, ‘Ooh, Hopkins’ site is going to be immense,’ and then they see this slab,” Schaumburg said. “But you have to consider that Hopkins was a Quaker, and simplicity was a virtue.” Hopkins died on Christmas Eve 1873, and each year devotees gather at his gravesite to remember the benefactor of the university and hospital that bear his name. In what has become a tradition, many mark the occasion by leaving a coin on the grave, an act thought to bring good luck in the new year. Nearby the Hopkins family plot sits that of the Garretts—John Work Garrett, president of the B&O Railroad and longtime university trustee, and his descendants: Robert, T. Harrison and Mary Elizabeth Garrett, the famous women’s education and suffrage pioneer who led the effort to establish the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

had long been buried in Green Mount in an unmarked grave. In 2007, an aficionado of the “talking board”—supposedly used to communicate with spirits— wanted to rectify that and received permission to install a gravestone for Bond that features an engraved replica of a Quija board on its backside. “I just love that one,” Schaumburg said. “A fitting marker, especially in a cemetery.” Schaumburg’s Green Mount tours, capped at 40 people, begin at 9:30 a.m. and cost $15 per person. This year, a tour will fall on Halloween, and Schaumburg expects a lively and full crowd for that one. “I’m still amazed at how many people want to spend a Saturday morning walking among the dead,” he said. To contact Schaumburg about tours, e-mail wschaumburg@earthlink.net. For more on his Osher class at Johns Hopkins, go to http://evergreen.jhu.edu. G

A stone’s throw from the Garrett site is one of Schaumburg’s favorite tombstone names, Honolulu McKeldin, wife of former Maryland Gov. Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin. As Schaumburg tells it, Honolulu’s mother, Maude Florence, got inspiration for the unusual forename from a delivery nurse who had just returned from a trip to Hawaii. Some of Schaumburg’s favorite graves? He has many. To name a few, he appreciates the intricate marble carvings on that of A.S. Abell, founder of The Baltimore Sun. He also is fond of the gravesite of William and Henry Walters, the famous art collectors whose collection began the Walters Art Museum. The Walters site prominently features a William Henry Rinehart–crafted bronze statue of a Grecian woman dropping rose petals onto the grave. Another of Schaumburg’s favorite tour stops is the burial spot of Elijah Jefferson Bond, inventor of the Quija board. Bond
