Matthew Goldman: The Man Behind Television’s Next Big Things
Matthew Goldman ’83 (’88 MS) might not always have been able to see television’s future—but he’s definitely helped create it. He would be the first person to tell you that he doesn’t have much in common with red-carpet celebrities like Bryan Cranston, Justin Timberlake, and Helen Mirren. But there is one similarity worth mentioning: each has taken home four Emmys.
A Hope for Huntington’s
Huntington’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that strikes people during the prime of their lives, causing personality changes, memory loss, impaired judgment, problems with movement, speech, and swallowing—and, ultimately, death. There is no cure and no treatment that slows the progress of the disease. It has long been known that Huntington’s runs in families. In 1993 scientists discovered that it is linked to a single dominant gene, which each child of a sufferer has a 50 percent chance of inheriting, and which always leads to a fatal outcome.
